Movie Monday

Oh COME ON....I know you all look forward to these.  and if you don't, please tell me.   I promise I won't delete your comment.  I'll even send you something nice if you don't comment anonymously.  I certainly don't want to put you off listening to my reviews of movies if you don't want to read about them.   you know.  when I could be talking about me some more :)  
if you comment OH GOD NO...don't talk about you MORE.  I will delete your comment. 

Box Office Hits.

Clash of the Titans. 
Gods against Man.   one of whom is 1/2 man 1/2 God, but didn't want anything to do with the 1/2 god side of him and was the only one who could beat the gods.
Lots of special effects.

My opinion.  It was fine.   I'm not in to the whole monster in the sea thing.   Or blood turning in to gigantic man killing scorpions....but I did appreciate the special effects and the acting was good.   And I really liked the humor they added (I'm sure for people like me) with the 2 hunters.  They were funny.  There were a few funny parts actually.     

Hot tub time machine.
ok, so my mormon sister in law told me that this movie was as good as The Hangover (and just as trashy).   I loved The Hangover so I was up for it.  Even though the name, hot tub time machine, should have been my first real warning.
We went with a friend.   It was our 2nd movie of the night and she didn't plan on **movie hopping with us but at the last minute decided to give it a shot.   She made it about 15 minutes.   Which was 15 minutes that I had to sit next to her feeling extremely nervous everytime the f-word was said...which was every second of the first 15 minutes.  and the next 15 minutes.  and then there was the flash of tits and ass and I was a little relieved when she said she'd had enough and walked out.
We didn't last that much longer.    I kept thinking....they said it was hilarious, that it was super good.  

My opinion  it wasn't 
(I'm glad we didn't pay for it :)

And now, on to my movie reviews for the LBD's out there who need a pick me up.

Producing Adults
A movie about a psychiatrist who counsels infertile couples, who wants to have a baby.   A lesbian fertility doctor.  And the men around them.

My opinion.   It's subtitled. Finnish.  This is another one that I didn't care reading through.  It moves slow enough that you don't miss anything reading the subtitles, but with enough content to keep your attention.  Both the wife and I really liked this movie. 
It was cute, but not too cute.  Believable, as any of them are.  And just sensual enough to make it worth it.  :)

Steam
A very lifetimey kind of movie about three women who meet in a sauna.   Now don't get your minds going from that.  
One is an older recently widowed woman.  The next is a college beauty (and I only say beauty because she's super cute.  It does not describe her character at all) who has very controlling parents and the need to come out of the closet.  And last, a divorced mother dealing with the antics of her ex and his 20 something wife.
Alley Sheedy plays the divorced mother.   I like her.  She was in High Art (another lesbian movie) and was gay in it.   I always thought she was gay in real life...I heard she's not...but her mom's are.  :) ha ha

ok, enough about Alley.
My opinion.  Other than the whole lifetime movie network effects....it had some touching and real moments in it.   Watch it.  

That's all folks.  Until next time.

**movie hopping -  To look at the scheduled movies before hand.  Time them perfectly so that you can pay for one and then once back in the theater waiting area, walk in to the next movie.  FOR FREE !!! (they do NOT make this easy with the times...trust me)
Now....this was Saturday night, but the theater wasn't busy at all.  Imagine our surprise when a woman comes and tells us that we are sitting in her assigned seats.   There were like 10 people in the WHOLE ENTIRE THEATER.    :) ha ha   "oh shoot, really ?  oh my goodness, we must have had our seats wrong. Isn't this row J.  Oh it's I.  darn it. we are so sorry." seriously...what are the chances really.
I'm certain this is not legal.   But I'm not sure if my Aunt Karma cares so I'm ok with it.  AND, we've only done it twice.   No harm in that....right ?
