look I know it's a weird movie but I think it's witty and fascinating okay?!

Pride and Prejudice

I don't even need to give a review on this movie because you've already seen it.

If you haven't, then I don't suggest you watch this movie...I suggest you get a girlfriend!

Score: 98%
Rating: Green

Seriously though, it isn't just mushy, lovey dovey, romance mumbo jumbo. It is well written, beautiful cinematography.

Extraordinary Measures

This movie taught me that if your 2 kids are dying of a muscular dystrophic disease, go find a cure.

That's right. If you want a miracle, go and get one.

Completely inspirational and nearly life changing.

RED

This movie takes killing very lightly.  It's like; wake up, brush your teeth, kill a guy, go check on your little avocado plant growing in a jar in your kitchen, kill a couple more guys, complain about how bored you are with killing, kill a bad guy with a syringe,  reminisce on the good old days when you used to kill so often, then kill a couple more bad guys.

I kinda liked it, but I probably shouldn'tve.

Score: 75

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

I really didn't mind that these "persians" were full fledged, WASP american actors. It was still exciting with a little bit of a twist at the end.

Deep Blue

This movie is rated G, but a baby gets mauled and eaten by a killer whale and they show the whole thing including it's mauled corpse and bones!

Okay, so it was a baby whale but still!

Also, a seal gets launched like a hundred feet in the air which I died laughing at.

Score: 90

Secretariat

This movie is kinda like "The Blind Side", but instead of the strong female figure believing in a big black kid, she believes in a big brown horse.

I mean that in a good way!

It also threw in what I considered to be a surprise ending.

Two Brothers

Considering I couldn't train my Shi Tzu  not to pee on the decorative table plant, I cannot fathom teaching a full grown tiger to chase a car. I also can't imagine as an actor, staring a 600 pound tiger in the face without crying. (especially a 10 year old actor)

So, despite this movie's slow start. I enjoyed it immensely. 

Score: 95
