SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE??

Do ya?

Welcome to Willard, a small town lost in the idyllic world of the 50s, where the sun shines every day, everybody knows their neighbor, and rotting zombies deliver the mail. Years ago, the earth passed through a cloud of space dust, causing the dead to rise with a craving for human flesh. A war began, pitting the living against the dead. In the ensuing revolution, a corporation was born: ZomCon, who defeated the legions of undead, and domesticated the zombies, making them our industrial workers, our domestic servants--a productive part of society. ZomCon would like the people of Willard to believe they have everything under control--but do they? Timmy Robinson doesnâ¿¿t think so. At eleven, Timmy already knows the world is phony baloney--Mom and Dad just won't admit it. Now ZomCon's head of security has moved in across the street, and Timmy's Mom refuses to be the only housewife on the block who doesn't have a zombie of her own. When she brings a zombie servant home, Timmy discovers a new best friend, and names him Fido. And even though Dad has a bad case of zombie-phobia, Timmy is determined to keep Fido, even if he does eat the odd person. Sometimes, it takes a dead man to teach us all what it means to be alive.

I normally don't do zombie movies. The eating of the flesh and brains and all that gore. Pass. But this movie is different. Yes it does have a few zombie attacks but it wasn't gross.

The zombies wear collars and they are harmless creatures doing odd jobs. Delivering newspapers, gardening, cleaning etc. One guy has his zombie, Tammy, as his play thing. Ewwww. Once in a while the collar will have a hiccup and a zombie will attack.

Interesting movie. In a way kind of cute. Worth checking out.

In 1935, 13-year-old fledgling writer Briony Tallis (Saoirse Ronan) and her family live a life of wealth and privilege in their enormous mansion. On the warmest day of the year, the country estate takes on an unsettling hothouse atmosphere, stoking Briony's vivid imagination. Robbie Turner (James McAvoy), the educated son of the family's housekeeper, carries a torch for Briony's headstrong older sister Cecilia (Kiera Knightley). Cecilia, he hopes, has comparable feelings; all it will take is one spark for this relationship to combust. When it does, Briony - who has a crush on Robbie - is compelled to interfere, going so far as accusing Robbie of a crime he did not commit. Cecilia and Robbie declare their love for each other, but he is arrested - and with Briony bearing false witness, the course of three lives is changed forever. Briony continues to seek forgiveness for her childhood misdeed. Through a terrible and courageous act of imagination, she finds the path to her uncertain atonement, and to an understanding of the power of enduring love.

Briony sort of annoyed me. I get she didn't know what she saw with Robbie and Cecilia and later with Lola. But still. She screwed up Robbie's life and to an extent Cecilia's. I don't know how I feel about the end. I like it but I don't. It's kind of sad in a way. But in all in all, it was good movie.

Cecilia's green gown was beautiful. James McAvoy is a hottie and the library scene. Hot.

National Treasure 2 was all right. I'll be watching this again. :P

Steve Zahn is a funny guy (think Sahara), so I want to see this.

No clue what this is about.

Zombies? I love zombies!

Bobby Green has turned his back on the family business. The popular manager of El Caribe, the legendary Russian-owned nightclub in Brooklyn's Brighton Beach, he has changed his last name and concealed his connection to a long line of distinguished New York cops. For Bobby, every night is a party, as he greets friends and customers or dances with his beautiful Puerto Rican girlfriend, Amada, in a haze of cigarette smoke and disco music. But it's 1988, and New York City's drug trade is escalating. Bobby tries to keep a friendly distance from the Russian gangster who is operating out of the nightclub--a gangster who is being targeted by his brother, Joseph, an up-and-coming NYPD officer, and his father, Burt, the legendary deputy chief of police.

I missed the first 15-30 minutes of this movie. My dear sweet husband was buzzed and kept talking to me. While I was trying to watch this movie. So I missed what was going on. Why they raided the club and all that jazz.



What I gathered is Marky Mark and Robert Duvall are trying to catch a guy who frequents Joaquin's club. Joaquin gets really upset when they bust into his club and gets into his fight with Marky Mark. However, he feels tons of guilt when Marky Mark is almost shot and killed. Joaquin decides to join the police to help capture the guy responsible for the hit and for later killing his father.

This was one of Joey's movie pick. It was decent compared to the others he's made me watch. Pretty cool car chase. Marky Mark and Joaquin Phoenix, both kind of hot.

Movie description from Yahoo! Movies: One year later, the Kings and Queens of Narnia find themselves back in that faraway wondrous realm, only to discover that more than 1,300 years have passed in Narnian time. During their absence, the Golden Age of Narnia has become extinct and Narnia has been conquered by the Telmarines and is now under the control of the evil King Miraz, who rules the land without mercy. The four children will soon meet a curious new character: Narnia's rightful heir to the throne, the young Prince Caspian, who has been forced into hiding, as his uncle Miraz plots to kill him in order to place his own newborn son on the throne. With the help of the kindly dwarf, a courageous talking mouse named Reepicheep, a badger named Trufflehunter and a Black Dwarf, Nikabrik, the Narnians--led by the mighty knights Peter and Caspian--embark on a remarkable journey to find Aslan, rescue Narnia from Miraz's tyrannical hold, and restore magic and glory to the land.
The Pevensie children are back, one year later in our time, 1300 years later in Narnia. Prince Caspian opens with Prince Caspian's aunt giving birth to a son. And Prince Caspian's uncle wants the throne of Narnia for himself and his newborn son, NOT Caspian. So he sends some guards to kill him, but with the help of his dear professor, Caspian escapes into the forest of Narnia. Caspian, who escaped via horseback, gets knocked off his horse and some Narnians with doubtful intentions find him right as he blows Susan's horn (remember from the first movie?) and passes out.

Back in England, the Pevensie children are dealing with the reality that they may never return to Narnia. Lucy of course has no doubt that they will return, but the older children are growing up, and losing that hope.

Just as they are waiting for the train, Caspian blows the horn back in Narnia and the train station disappears and the Pevensie's are back in Narnia. But not is all as they left it...

Ok - my thoughts: I really enjoyed Prince Caspian! The Narnians have been in hiding for hundreds of years and the Pevensies and Caspian are their only hope of freedom from persecution and tyranny. But they have their doubts - because their beloved kings and queens did abandon them. And where the hell is Aslan? Aslan has been gone for a long long time and only Lucy seems to believe in him anymore.
Prince Caspian is an interesting character to add to the mix. He's a young prince, the rightful heir to the throne of Narnia, and victim to his uncle's evil plans for domination. Telmarines took over Narnia and have been ruling ever since. They believe the Narnians are extinct and that that's a good thing, as they were savage creatures. But Prince Caspian, when he learns the truth about Narnians, that they are not extinct and they are not savage, is quick to change his tune and want to welcome the Narnians back into Narnia - when he's back on the throne. Which he needs Narnian help to accomplish.
Peter has issues with Caspian however. Because Peter used to be King Peter the Magnificent, so he's used to being in charge. And so is Caspian. So there were a few interesting scenes between these two young men. LOL There's also a corny romance between Caspian and Susan, but yeah, you'll see happens there. Edmund is not the brat he was from the first movie, and Lucy is still wonderful. I love her character.

Fans of the first movie are definitely going to like this latest installment. A solid B. The special effects are awesome too. It's all good.
