Julie and Julia

8-8-2009
The Grand Theater
Excellent

I perfered the Julie true story to the Julia! It was a great movie to watch. Both stories were very interesting and it helped to know they were both true. Julie in the movie reminds me of my wife and her husband reminds me of me. The only difference between him and me is I am a saint and I know it! Ouch...that lightening bolt was awfully close to the keyboard. I wonder with all of that butter how Julia and her hursband lived to be 92 and 94 years old? I'm so glad they told us at the end of the movie that the book Julie wrote was made into a movie...I would have never known.

Gladiator...I mean Robin Hood

5/16/2010 The Grand Theater Good I wonder what would happen if you were to watch Gladiator and Robin Hood at the same time. Now I don't know for sure but here's my guess. At exactly the same time you would have.... Big opening battle (Wow this is cool!) Blah-blah-blah-blah-plot-plot-plot-plot-plot Smaller but still cool battle. Blah-blah-blah-blah-develope the story, oh isn't that funny and clever... Another Cool battle scene Blah-blah-blah-blah- love-love-love-love Yeah kill that guy, I wish I could shoot an arrow like that. Blah-blah-blah-blah-oh that's why he's the way he is... Yes Big battle. The end. Let's get rid of the blah-blah-blah-blah and just give us 100 minutes of what we really want. Big Epice unrealistic battles! That's all I have to say about that... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSqL9ygBCck

A Christmas Carol 3-D

11-8-2009 The Grand Theater Superior This was the scariest I've seen in a long time. That's saying a lot considering my list. There were times I was shaken, and this isn't an unfamiliar story. This was also a beautiful movie with amusement park like effects, especially with the 3-D, which by the way I highly reccomend. With the 3-D glasses you really notice the care and detail taken to truly make this an imaginative and engaging remake of the ultimate Christmas Story (Next to the Jesus Story of course.) Many are critical of this movie because of it's over use of special effects and I would agree with them if the story telling and acting weren't as superb as they were. Jim Carey (I'm not really a fan) was excellent in his portrayal of Scrooge and the Spirits of Christmas Past and Present. Each Spirit character including Jacob Marley was both endearing and terrifying. Exactly as their characters should be. The exception being the Spirit of Christmas Yet to Come, h...

The Chronicles of Narnia- Voyage of the Dawn Treader

The Chronicles of Narnia- Voyage of the Dawn Treader AMC 21 Movie Theater Chicago Good This was an unimpressive movie in an unimpressive theater. I had high hopes seeing a movie in Downtown Chicago, I was disappointed . I guess I'll never find a better theater than the Grand in Winston Salem! The problem with this movie is that is was missing 2 of the 4 main characters. Apparently the older two are too old to go to Narnia, which I think is crap. I kept on waiting for a surprise appearance, since the older two were far more interesting than the younger two, however except for a dream sequence it wasn't to be. I found this story, not horrible, but definitely not as good as Prince Caspian. It's funny, out of the trilogy I felt the same about the 3rd one as I did the first. The middle one was my favorite! I don't know how close this movie is to the books, but standing alone this movie would have been quickly forgotten. In fact I almost forgot to write a review, that's...
