Ima Movie Addict

The second installment of the chronicles of Narnia based on the novels by C.S. Lewis did not disappoint! I was a little worried at first because I got confused by the story line in the beginning …but no need to worry, it all comes together during the movie.

The film depicts a young prince persecuted by his own people and is forced to seek refuge with the so believed extinct Narnians. The prince then seeks help from the Kings and Queens of old (Peter, Susan, Edward, and Lucy) who find themselves in a very different Narnia. Its 1300 years later in a time where Narnia is in ruin and mus once again unite to defeat an evil force.

This film is great because you get to experience the coming of age of different characters. The graphics were once again superb! The only thing is that I would not recommend seeing this film with very young children, and the movie is quite long (137 minutes).

This movie receives 4 popcorns out of a possible 5!

Well American Idol is finally coming to a close tonight with a David vs David show down! On the one hand you have David Archuleta who is 17 years old but sings well beyond his years, and on the other hand you have a young talented David Cook, who has completely blossomed since the beginning of the show. To be quite honest, I wasn’t a David Cook fan in the beginning but now I really hope he wins because he has shown the most growth on the show! Both are very talented singers…but my vote is for David Cook because he has GREAT stage presence and I can see him giving a great rock concert. I can’t really say that about David Archuleda…am I the only one that is bothered by the rasping breath of air when he sings?

To his credit though, David Archuleda is very popular with the younger age groups…he might be lining himself up to be the next youth sensation after Miley Cyrus!

Good luck to both of them…my vote is for David Cook!

I don’t know about you, but I find that lately the movie industry has been coming out with so many  of the so called ’stupid’ comedies lately, examples of this are Superbad, Knocked Up, Superhero Movie, Meet the Spartans, etc.

I miss the classic comedies, with the kind of actors that don’t need to say the ‘F’ word every two seconds and don’t have to talk about sex every second to be funny!

When this movie came out, I was not only impressed with the acting but also relieved to know that the term “Classic Comedy” isn’t biting the dust. This comedy is refreshingly funny and includes a great group of actors who are basically going through their mid-life crisis and opt to take a motorcycle road trip to relax and rejuvenate their souls. What road trip is without trouble though?

Tim Allen plays Doug a dentist who feels that he is losing his youth and is not cool in the eyes of his son, John Travolta plays Woody who is in denial about his wife leaving him and his current financial situation, Martin Lawrence plays Bobby, a husband that is under the control of his wife (whipped), and finally William H. Macey plays Dudley, a very clumsy man that has apparent trouble with the ladies. With a cast like this you can’t go wrong!

I encourage you to rent this movie, you don’t know when the next good ‘Classic Comedy’ is going to come out!
