In a remote mountain tribe, the young hunter, D'Leh, has found his heart's passion - the beautiful Evolet. When a band of mysterious warlords raid his village and kidnap Evolet, D'Leh is forced to lead a small group of hunters to pursue the warlords to the end of the world to save her. Driven by destiny, the unlikely band of warriors must battle saber-tooth tigers and prehistoric predators and, at their heroic journey's end, they uncover a Lost Civilization. Their ultimate fate lies in an empire beyond imagination, where great pyramids reach into the skies. Here they will take their stand against a powerful god who has brutally enslaved their people.
Ames: Rowena and I saw this when I came down to LA last week. I know we had differing views of the movie, so let’s start!
10, 000 BC is about a band of mammoth hunters who have been struck by tragedy. Every year, the mammoth are fewer and fewer and one year, a band of 4-legged demons (men on horseback) strike and kidnap and kill some of the village. One of those kidnapped was blue eyed Evolet, the love of D’Leh.
I liked the movie. Although the beginning had an extremely corny scene, the rest of the movie panned out well. Plenty of action and adventure. But what really appealed to me was all the prophecy-talk. I love that shizz! LOL You?
Rowena: I enjoyed the movie but not nearly as much as Tiffany (my brother's gf) and Ames did. The best part of the movie for me was Steven Strait. That man is just off the chains hot and I can't wait to feature him on Book Binge as a Cast That Hero, haha. I enjoyed the spirit talk lady, the way she would dance when she got a vision cracked me on the inside but man, the more the movie went on, the more cheesy it got.
Ames: Well that's what happens with prophecy stuff. LOL And yeah, your man Steven Strait was hot. I also liked his uncle? The guy who was carrying the white stick. Whatever, the more excuses for men to run around in loin cloths the better. Haha
Rowena: I enjoyed the movie because Steven spent the entire movie being all buff and yummalicious and the storyline was pretty good, it was just the ending that made me want to poke my eyes out because oh the cheese factor! It was so lame. I just thought the first ending was sufficient enough because it would have been damn, all that and then that happens..just all that cheesiness at the end was enough to make me roll my eyes down the block.
Ames: Ok seriously, I liked how it brought the different people together. The mammoth hunters...the tribesmen of Africa and the slaves of the evil pyramid builders. And dude, wtf was up with that creepy tall thing with the long ass finger nails? *shudder* Kind of reminded me of Stargate. LOL
One thing, the ending was kind of abrupt. Know what I mean? Like boom, D'Leh does this and then that happens and tada, the end. Don't you agree? And what would you grade it?
Rowena: I would give this movie a C, I don't have it in me to give the movie anything lower than that because I'm shallow enough to admit that watching Steven Strait in a loin cloth for two hours is quite entertaining all by itself, LOL. And plus, it WAS cool that he did all that he did with bringing all the different people together and stuff out of love for homegirl. I thought that was sweet, like dude my man brought down an army to get me back, now THATS LOVE!
Ames: I'm going to give it a C+ for the storyline and a B for the cinematography and graphics.
In the unsanctioned, underground, and unhinged world of extreme Ping-Pong, the competition is brutal and the stakes are deadly. Now, this outrageous new comedy serves up this secret world for the first time on-screen. Down-and-out former professional Ping-Pong phenom Randy Daytona is sucked into this maelstrom when FBI Agent Rodriguez recruits him for a secret mission. Randy is determined to bounce back and recapture his former glory, and to smoke out his father's killer ¿ one of the FBI's Most Wanted, arch-fiend Feng (Academy Award winner Christopher Walken). But, after two decades out of the game, Randy can't turn his life around and avenge his father's murder without a team of his own. He calls upon the spiritual guidance of blind Ping-Pong sage and restaurateur Wong, and the training expertise of Master Wong's wildly sexy niece Maggie, both of whom also have a dark history with Feng. All roads lead to Feng's mysterious jungle compound and the most unique Ping-Pong tournaments ever staged. There, Randy faces such formidable players as his long-ago Olympics opponent, the still-vicious Karl Wolfschtagg. Can Randy keep his eye on the ball? Will he achieve the redemption he craves while wielding a paddle? Is his backhand strong enough to triumph over rampant wickedness?
So... this movie had its funny laugh out loud parts. The guy who played Randy had some funny facial expressions. However... it was just ok. My husband thought it was hilarious though. Had to watch certain scenes over and over cause they had him cracking up.
Would I say rent it? No. Maybe wait for it come out free on demand.
And did not recognize Lt. Dangle (from Reno 911) as the german guy until the end. Ha ha.
Who's as excited as I am that The Tudor's Season Two is coming back...THIS SUNDAY!
I'm so effing excited that show is coming back. In just a matter of days I'll be able to find out what's going on with that pompous ass of a King Henry (is that okay to say or am I going to get thrashed by the British Parliament or something?) and to see if my main man, Charles Brandon has wised up and to see if he marries his frickin' ward...I have a feeling that he's going to marry her but I wonder if he'll love her for real or if it'll be more of the same from his philandering self.
Last season left off with everyone getting killed off and King Henry wanting more and more power. I think it's only a matter of time before he starts going after the Church and start up his own Church which will later become The Church of England.
What will happen, who will be coming back, who will be leaving the show? Are there going to be any newcomers that will wow me with their superior hotness? I have no clue, so until Sunday I'm going to tide myself over with some hottie pictures of my hubby, Henry Cavill...
Starring: Patrick Dempsey, Amy Adams, James Marsden, Idina Menzel, Susan Sarandon, etc. Rating: PG Grade: A
The tale follows the beautiful princess Giselle as she is banished by an evil queen from her magical, musical animated land--and finds herself in the gritty reality of the streets of modern-day Manhattan. Shocked by this strange new environment that doesn't operate on a "happily ever after" basis, Giselle is now adrift in a chaotic world badly in need of enchantment. But when Giselle begins to fall in love with a charmingly flawed divorce lawyer who has come to her aid--even though she is already promised to a perfect fairy tale prince back home--she has to wonder: can a storybook view of romance survive in the real world?
Izzy and I watched this movie last week for the first time and we haven't been able to talk much of anything else so we decided to review this together, to do a buddy review and instead of me reviewing it and then her reviewing it, we're just going to cut and paste our entire converstaion we had through email about this movie.
Rowena: So what did you like about the movie?
Izzy: I liked it all. lol. The characters, the music, the dance numbers, Robert, Edward, Giselle, ... all of it. I just thought it was a cute movie. Your standard Disney movie. lol.
Rowena: I know me too...the movie didn't drag as most movies I've watched lately have and I really enjoyed the relationship between Giselle and Robert's daughter. I loved when they went shopping and had a girls' day...what did they call it?
Izzy: Oo I forget but when his daughter said, "Is this what it feel like?" In referring to having a mom. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
No, it didn't drag at all.
Rowena: Yeah I really enjoyed the movie and I felt bad for Edward because he just never gets the girl. LOL.
And haha, your Mom thinks that the evil witch of a queen was beautiful...haha.
Izzy: I know. Only my mom.
Ok, here is one thing... Edward. He was a cutie and I liked him and all. But all the past Disney princes were.. dashing, manly. And edward was kind of a bumbling kind of prince. I think it was wrong they did that to poor edward. lol.
Rowena: I see your point but was he really the Prince of the story? I don't think they could have made him the kind of Prince that we're used to from Disney because he didn't end up with the girl, therefore he wasn't really the prince of the story, you know? Like, they deceived us into thinking that Edward was Prince Charming when in all actuality, it was really Robert. And now that I'm thinking on it, it's pretty genius for them to do this because they showed to us that even though Prince Charming is a fantasy of fairy tales, he can also be real...your Prince Charming can be a regular Billy or Joe around your town, it's all in the way we perceive our Prince. So they took a regular guy and made him into a Prince that we could all appreciate and relate to. Ya know?
That's what I think is really great about this movie.
Izzy: Never thought about it that way. Good point. Still, they could have made him a little more alpha. I still loved him though and I'm glad he got his HEA.
Robert now... Robert... Like you said yesterday. Loved when he was dancing with her at the ball and sang to her. Sigh
Rowena: Now Robert when he sang to Giselle at the ball at the end, my heart did a little pitter patter inside my chest and I imagined it was me that he was twirling around the dance floor and singing to. haha.
Alright, what's your favorite song? Mine is How Will I Know? And funny thing, last night Chloe opened up the window because it was super hot in our room and she sang out into the night (we were straightening up our room) and she started singing the cleaning song and sang, "Ahhhhh ahhh ahhhhhhhhh" and I go, "Oh great, you killed all the animals in L.A."
LMAO.
Izzy: LOL! She did that! LOL That's too funny! Dang, I would have to say my favorite is the Happy Working Song. I don't know... there is just something about it. La la de dum dum. LOL! She expects her woodland friends and the pigeons, rats and roaches show up. LOL!
a close second is That's How you know. When they all bust out dancing and singing and Robert is just standing there. lol.
Rowena: Yep, that totally happened last night and me and Chelsea were all cracking up.
When Robert is just standing there all embarrassed at first because she's all singing with the sidewalk drummers, "How does she know that you love her?" haha...it was hilarious. Dude what was hilarious though was before the song started, how she started to sing to Robert and he's like, "Whoa wait, what?" and she's all singing, "How will she know you love her?" haha.
Izzy: LOL! I know. Cause you know what, I got embarrassed too. thinking.. oh no. Something is gonna happen. LOL! Then everyone started singing and I was like.. ok. LOL! So I felt his embarrassment too.
I think deep down, Robert believed in true love and all that. He was just in denial and Giselle just kind put all there in his face you know?
Rowena: Look, it's the best scene! *sigh* I LOVE IT!
Izzy: The chick who plays nancy... bugs me. It's her face. lol.
Awwwwww!
Rowena: She's got a long face and a nose that just won't quit...I'll always see her singing about the cow that jumped over the moon on Rent, lol.
What else did you want to add?
Izzy: You should add what me and you said yesterday too. Like When Edward kissed Giselle and she didn't wake up. Awwwwww. Poor Edward.
I don't know. I just thought this movie was just too cute. I had to buy it and the soundtrack cause I just loved the songs.
Rowena: Alright, I'll add that stuff too...I'm watching the Happy Cleaning Song. I love the songs too. I even love Carrie Underwood's song.
Izzy: I love so close. The carrie Underwood song, it's all right. But... So close cause.. Patrick Dempsey. LOL!
Nancy just looks... i don't know. In that scene, not pretty. The other scenes she looks all right. She can sing though.
Rowena: You know, I had to put that song on right now, right? LOL...PD is just too effing cute in this movie. We sound like little schoolgirls, giggling over how cute the football captain is.
Izzy: He was too cute. sigh. What about when he freaked out with all the rats in the house. Lol.
Rowena: That was hilarious and when he got all pissed off that she cut his curtains? TOO EFFING CUTE.
Izzy: I know! But then the next day when he sees it, he smiles. awwwww.
When Pip was trying to tell Edwards Nathanial's plot. lol.
Rowena: Oh I know, and how Edward thought everything was about him. IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU EDWARD! Oh and another thing I liked was how sure Giselle was that Prince Edward would find her. I thought that was cute.
Izzy: Oh i know. Edward will come for me. That was cute. lol.
Or how about how upset she was when that one couple was getting divorced or when she thought Pip died.
Rowena: Oh you're right, that was cute too!
So should our readers watch this movie or what? What's your final verdict?
Izzy: Hell ya they should watch it. lol.
Rowena: Amen sister, A-frickin'-men! Check out this scene, if you're not sure..it's funny and just so uber cute:
The Kite Runner - I really want to see this. You know it's going to be good stuff when the PREVIEW makes you cry. LOL I saw the Mist in the theaters with my brothers. The scariest thing about it, a la Stephen King, is the people. Mob thinking and religious zealots scare me. The stuff in the mist was cool, would like to have seen more of the creatures - but Cloverfield filled that empty space in my heart. LOL
Yeah, the judging panel had too much fun with Fatima's arm pit. LOL The photo shoot was a close up portrait, and Fatima, who has never ever shaved before, had her arm up beside her head. So yeah, the judges were amazed that someone who wants to be in the business wasn't meticulous with her body fur. Personally, I didn't even notice. But wth, I'm not in the modelling business, so if the experts say the fuzz has got to go, Fatima should listen.
Anyway, the challenge this week was posing and judged by Benny Ninja - vogue poser extraordinaire.
In the end, Marvita who appears to have caved into herself at judging, was the girl to get the boot. That's too bad, because I had this secret hope that Marvita would be like Jaslene. Get kicked off the first time you try out for the show only to come back stronger and win the whole thing. Alas, that didn't happen.
