Movie review: Shark night 3D

From rotten tomatoes

Arriving by boat at her family's Louisiana lake island cabin, Sara (Sara Paxton) and her friends quickly strip down to their swimsuits for a weekend of fun in the sun. But when star football player Malik (Sinqua Walls) stumbles from the salt-water lake with his arm torn off, the party mood quickly evaporates. Assuming the injury was caused by a freak wake-boarding accident, the group realizes they have to get Malik to a hospital on the other side of the lake, and fast. But as they set out in a tiny speedboat, the college friends discover the lake has been stocked with hundreds of massive, flesh-eating sharks! As they face one grisly death after another, Sara and the others struggle desperately to fend off the sharks, get help and stay alive long enough to reach the safety of dry land

My opinion:

OMG THIS IS SO BAD! This has to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen. The plot is stupid, the acting is bad, and the effects... oh lord.

I honestly don't have anything else to say about it

I don't recommend it

Have you guys seen it, and what are your thoughts?

Movie review - Friends with kids

From Rotten tomatoes
Friends with Kids is a daring and poignant ensemble comedy about a close-knit circle of friends at that moment in life when children arrive and everything changes. The last two singles in the group observe the effect that kids have had on their friends' relationships and wonder if there's a better way. They decide to have a kid together - and date other people. There are big laughs and unexpected emotional truths as this unconventional 'experiment' leads everyone in the group to question the nature of friendship, family and, finally, true love. -- (C) Official Site

My opinion:

I was a bit sceptical about this movie, because I do feel there is a lot of baby movies out there (like it's the new it thing), and it is starting to get a bit too much. However this movie was not THAT bad, and if you like romantic comedy's and babies then this might be a hit :) Don't expect big things... It's far from an oscar winning movie.

I recommend this movie if you are in a chick flick, romantic or baby mood

❀MOVIE REVIEW - THE QUEEN❀

From Rotten Tomatoes

The British prime minister and the Royal Family find themselves quietly at odds in the wake of a national tragedy in this drama from director Stephen Frears. On August 31, 1997, Diana, Princess of Wales died in an auto accident in Paris; despite the controversial breakup of her marriage to Prince Charles, she was still one of the most famous and best-loved women in the world, and the public outpouring of emotion over her passing was immediate and intense. However, given the messy circumstances of Diana's breakup with Charles, official spokespeople for the Royal Family were uncertain about how to publicly address her passing. It didn't take long for the media to pick up on the hesitation of Buckingham Palace to pay homage to Diana, and many saw this as a sign of the cool emotional distance so often attributed to the royals, which in this case was widely seen as an insult against Diana and the many people who loved her. Prime Minister Tony Blair (played by Michael Sheen) saw a potential public-relations disaster in the making, and took it upon himself to persuade Queen Elizabeth II (played by Helen Mirren) to make a statement in tribute to the fallen Diana -- an action that went against the taciturn queen's usual nature. The Queen was released the same year that Helen Mirren played Queen Elizabeth I in an acclaimed miniseries for British television; The Queen also gave Michael Sheen his second opportunity to play Tony Blair after portraying the prime minister in the television film The Deal.

What do I think?

I was so surprised by this movie, that I couldn't stop talking about it afterwards.

You would think that the Queen is a die hard bitch (pardon my french), but this movie actually shows that the Queen has a sensitive side, and I kind of felt sorry for her throughout the movie. The Queen is brought up in a very old school way and actually thinks she does what is best for the country by keeping this kind of ice queen facade on. Slowly she starts to realize she may have to chance the attitude.

I recommend this movie if you haven't already seen it
