BTW, i will also give a star rating out of 5 stars based on my personal opinion
1. Oklahoma! ***.5
The reason I watched this is because GAP, the theater group I do during the summer, is doing this play this year and I wanted to catch up on it. It was pretty good, I know it's going to be a fun play but it's not my favorite show.
2. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl ****
First of all, I am a huge POTC fan and cannot wait for the fourth one to come out! Second of all, the first movie is okay. Personally, I like them in this order 3rd, 1st, 2nd. So the 1st is pretty good. I would highly recommend this series to anyone.
3. Sweet Home Alabama ****
This was a perfect Andi-Lauren movie. If you aren't Andi and don't know what that means, it was a typical-make-you-feel-good-chick-flick-romantic-comedy movie =) It stars Reese Witherspoon, Josh Lucas, and Patrick Dempsey who are all good actors. Definitely recommend it.
4. Notting Hill *****
This movie is another a/l movie and I LOVE IT!!! this movie is so ah-mazing, well done, funny and just down right awesome. It stars Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant and both of them are excellent. Would recommend this to anyone.
5. Contact ****
This is pretty different from the rest of the movies. This is a scientific-intense-romantic in a way movie. It's about contact with other planets and is very good. Starring Jodie Foster and Matthew McConaughey.
6. Little Fockers **.5
I went to see this movie with a good friend of mine, Jamie. I hadn't seen her in a while and we mainly got together to catch up. So, this movie was okay, funny kind of stupid humor and I loled a couple of times... Wouldn't really recommend...
7. Eat, Pray, Love ****
I thought this movie was really well done and good. The beginning was a little slow, but the end was very good and it was interesting to see all of the different places she traveled too. Again, Julia Roberts was amazing. Would recommend.
At this point, I'm going to mention all of the children movies I watched with my siblings and give them a rating, but I'm not going to talk about them in detail.
8. Princess and the Frog ***.5- good songs and plot
9. Toy Story 3 ****- made me cry =)
10. The Muppets Take Manhattan **- okay...
11. Alvin and the Chipmunks **- one of my littlest brother's favorites
12. Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring ***
I consider this trilogy to be like a step up from POTC. Very good, intense, thrilling, and amazing plot. A plus to this movie is that Orlando Bloom is a daring elf. =)) Would recommend, but don't watch when you're home alone.
13. Catch Me If You Can ****.5
As you might have noticed, I rated this movie highest out of all the movies I have seen this break. This movie was funny, clever, based on a true story, romantic, starred Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks, and taught me about check forgery. How much better can you get? Would recommend highly.
So, that's my movie list. Now, to finish off this very long blog post, I will discuss New Year's Eve. =)
Happy New Year, everybody! 2010 is over and 2011 has just begun! Last night included the usual first hour of boringness and went on to a night filled with beating "g" in foosball, playing Apples to Apples with the gang, locking the boys in the storage room and them doing the same to us, stealing g's fone, gathering everyone's numbers, having a successful slideshow showing, watching the Baltimore fireworks on TV, and a generally good time. I look forward to this party every year and this year did not dissatisfy. I hope you all had an excellent New Year's Eve and day and I wish the best year to all of you!
WOW this is a long post! If you have stuck with me this long, I thank you! =)
Ciao!
