Movies, Movies, Movies

While on sabbatical we saw a handful of movies.  Certainly more than we typically see in an average month.  Here’s what I thought…

I thought the first Narnia was a bit of a let down.  This one made up for it.  Much more along the lies of my imagination as I read the books.  At two and a half hours, you felt a little better about your ten dollar fee.  Definately recommend this movie. (4 1/2 out of 5 stars)

Attempting to be the next Lord of the Rings or Chronicles of Narnia, the Golden Compass fell WELL below what I expected.  Story was over reaching on metaphor and boring.  I know the book has been fairly popular and made up for any popularity in controversy, but the movie was much ado about nothing. (1 1/2 out of 5 stars)

I had intended to wait until video on this, but when I went to the movies with a friend we narrowed it down to this or “You Don’t Mess with the Zohan”.  This won.  Better than expected.  Alot of action. Ending was a little crazy.  (3 out of 5 stars)

Really enjoyed this movie.  Had some funny spots, and some profound spots.  Love Nicholson and Freeman.  The combination worked.  Good movie. (4 out of 5 stars)

Two movies I am looking forward to seeing…

Any other movies I should watch or look forward to seeing?
