The Dark Knight (+ Digital Copy and BD Live) [Blu-ray]

I was exhausted when we started watching this movie, but it kept my heart racing and my butt on the edge of its seat throughout. It was by far the most horrific (or I guess dark) Batman I’ve seen although there wasn’t really any blood or guts. Heath Ledger’s performance is certainly NOT over-hyped at all. He was without a doubt the star. Despite its serious nature, there were a lot of laughs thrown in, which I really appreciate because I hate bummer movies.

Underdog

by Frederik Du Chau

Unexpectedly sweet and not a bad movie! They did an amazing job at the special effects to get the dogs to look like they’re talking and such, though I think as realistic as the dogs were, the spaghetti in one scene could have looked less plastic. The soundtrack was also good!

Refreshing acting

A cute, witty and thought-provoking movie.

A must see if you're planning a hospital birth (rated 5 stars)

The Business of Being Born

by Abby Epstein

This is a very informative documentary about what is wrong with this country and our hospital births along with options women have to make birth safer for them and their babies, while still taking full advantage of the progresses of modern medicine.

A review of "The Pink Panther (Special Edition)" (rated 3 stars)

The Pink Panther (Special Edition)

by Shawn Levy

This definitely wasn’t the best movie, but I found myself laughing hysterically at some points. I was expecting not to like this, so perhaps that is why I was pleasantly surprised.

Happy Feet (rated 3 stars)

Happy Feet

by George Miller (II)

It was okay. There were certainly some cute parts and the whole thing looked and sounded amazing. There was no decent plot, nor any good dialog. The whole thing was preachy and a bit pointless. I was disappointed.

Idlewild (rated 5 stars)

nobody@allconsuming.net (Lynda) — Sun, 14 Jan 2007 00:46:30 GMT

Idlewild (Widescreen Edition)

Easily the best movie of 2006. Imaginitive and unique, this movie set during the Prohibition in Idlewild, GA includes gangsters, songs and tons of fantasy. The music is addictive. The story is at times funny, angering, sad and horrifying. I hope it collects quite a few Oscars this year; it deserves them!

The Pursuit of Happyness

nobody@allconsuming.net (Lynda) — Thu, 04 Jan 2007 14:30:21 GMT

The Pursuit of Happyness

by Gabriele Muccino

Grammar nuts: rest easy! Chris Gardner (played by Will Smith) is well aware of the correct spelling of happiness, which becomes apparent in the first few minutes of the film.

This film follows the life of Chris Gardner through a period where he’s struggling to get by after investing in a bogus business idea. His marriage is falling apart and while working his ass off, he’s doing his very best to be a positive and active figure in his five year old son Christopher’s life.

There’s nothing happy or reassuring about this film. It is very much the pursuit of happiness. There are parts you just don’t think you’ll be able to bear; it’s heart wrenching. You might want to wait until it comes out on DVD, if only to sob and wail in the privacy of your own home with plenty of Kleenex, but you must see this movie.

Hopefully this one won’t be ignored come Oscar time.

A Prairie Home Companion (rated 2 stars)

A Prairie Home Companion

by Robert Altman

It wasn’t the worst movie ever, but it was really really… strange. I didn’t really connect to any of the characters and the plots bored me. Mostly though, the characters were just soulless.

American Pie - The Naked Mile

American Pie - The Naked Mile (Unrated Widescreen Edition)

by Joe Nussbaum

First things first: these spin offs will never be as good as the original American Pie trilogy. That being said, the spin offs, even though they are direct-to-DVD are still pretty good quality movies. They’re smart and funny and even romantic. Band Camp was better, but this one was still better than expected.

Not for the prudish.

Night at the Museum

Night at the Museum

by Shawn Levy

It is a cute family friendly movie. Definitely nothing very in-depth.
