Two Down...

1) Transformers 2-Revenge of the Fallen (see image to the left): I would have to give this one about 3.5/5 stars. For one thing, 2 and a 1/2 hours? Really, Michael Bay? I was a Transformers fan growing up, but nothing has changed since I was 8...my attention span can only go so far. This movie could have been AT LEAST 45 minutes shorter. But the hotness that is Josh Duhamel, Tyrese, and yes, Megan Fox, definitely makes up for some of that extra time. Also, LOVED John Turturro's lines. He IS fabulous. Ramon Rodriguez...not really necessary. Sorry. And of course, the special effects were FANTASTIC--that should just go without saying (but i said it anyway).

2) The Hangover (see image on the right): Gets a resounding 5/5 stars from me. It was funny, smart, stupid, different...all at the same time. Exactly what I was looking for. PLUS the hotness that IS Bradley Cooper? Yes, I am HOOKED.

Okay...what's next? Harry Potter in IMAX, perhaps? Who's willing to go with me?

Movie Time!

As part of my Things to Do Before I Go Broke list, #13, I plan on actually getting to the movie theater and watching the movies I want to see, whether Hubby wants to come with me or not :)
So here's a list of the movies I am awaiting to see this summer (beginning from the start of summer-June 21st). Please send me any recommendations or reviews if you have seen these already!

The Hangover (saw it 2 weekends ago --friggin' HIGH-larious!!)
Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen (going to see it tonight at IMAX)
Up (I know, I know, this has been out for a while. I will eventually get to the theater to see this)
Away We Go (I'm pregnant, so any movie about pregnant people, I'm all for. Plus I hear it's really cute)
Public Enemies (Johnny Depp & Christian Bale all in one film?! Thank you, Michael Mann!)
Bruno (I will admit, I was not a Borat fan. Hoping Bruno will ignite the fashionista in me)
