- DirectorJonathan WrightStarsAnnaLynne McCordJefferson BrownJennifer GibsonA TV reporter with no Christmas spirit is forced to do community service during the holiday season.6/10
I only watched this movie because it had AnnaLynne McCord in it, and I loved her on 90210. It was cheesy in a way that only Christmas movies can be and still get away with it. - DirectorTim McCanliesStarsHarry Connick Jr.Connie BrittonChandler CanterburyA father's holiday spirit was crushed by an accident when he was a child. When his son faces a tragedy, a mysterious man instills in him the courage to find the joy he lost.8/10
I decided to watch this movie because Connie Britton was in it, and I love her on Nashville. I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. It's a sad movie, but it strikes all the right chords. Plus Willie Nelson plays Nick (obviously St. Nick, though they never actually say it), worth watching it just to see him! - DirectorDavid WainStarsPaul RuddAmy PoehlerBill HaderMolly owns a quaint little sweet shop. Joel works for a gigantic candy company threatening to shut her down. How they meet, fall in love, break up and get back together is hilariously recounted in this rom-com spoof.2/10
Nope. Just nope. I got halfway through and turned it off, and I seriously suffered through what I watched. I went into this movie thinking it would be funny based on the cast, but it was too ridiculous to be funny. I get that it's supposed to be a parody/satire film, but in my opinion, not a well done one. Amy Poehler couldn't even get half of her lines out without looking like she was about to burst out laughing. - DirectorWilliam Robert CareyStarsAJ MichalkaBilly BurkeAlicia SilverstoneAn imaginative teenage girl, living in a mystical and dangerous community built on a deserted drive-in movie lot along the Texas/Oklahoma border, struggles to realize her potential, and escape the world she was born into.6/10
I found this movie a little bit confusing at first, there are a few story lines all happening at the same time. But overall it's a good movie. - DirectorShana BetzStarsAnna PaquinLiana LiberatoAva AcresA single mom caught up in the Florida drug trade during the late 1970s tries to make a better life for her two girls.7/10
I'm not gonna lie, I only watched this movie because Anna Paquin was in it, but I was pleasantly surprised. She left her home, with her two girls, because she was being abused, and winds up getting caught in the 1970's drug trade because she makes good money. Based on a true story, and worth watching. - DirectorMark MylodStarsAnna FarisChris EvansAri GraynorA woman looks back at the past nineteen men she's had relationships with in her life and wonders if one of them might be her one true love.8/10
I honestly didn't expect to enjoy this movie, I threw it on out of desperation on Netflix. I was pleasantly surprised. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It was funny, it was cute, overall a good movie. - DirectorTim StoryStarsIce CubeKevin HartTika SumpterSecurity guard Ben must prove himself to his girlfriend's brother, top police officer James. He rides along James on a 24-hour patrol of Atlanta.7/10
I didn't expect much from this movie, but it was actually pretty funny. Even laugh out loud funny in a few parts. - DirectorBong Joon HoStarsChris EvansJamie BellTilda SwintonIn a future where a failed climate change experiment has killed all life except for the survivors who boarded the Snowpiercer (a train that travels around the globe), a new class system emerges.7/10
Interesting concept, with good acting. Plus Chris Evans... ♥ - DirectorMark RosmanStarsCamilla LuddingtonNico Evers-SwindellVictoria TennantAt university, Prince William and Kate Middleton fall in love. However, their relationship becomes strained under intense media scrutiny.5/10
Not awful... but certainly not good either. I watched it all, but I lost interest throughout, and spent a good portion of it playing Trivia Crack. - DirectorJonathan LevineStarsNicholas HoultTeresa PalmerJohn MalkovichAfter a highly unusual zombie saves a still-living girl from an attack, the two form a relationship that sets in motion events that might transform the entire lifeless world.6/10
I enjoyed the movie way more than the book. Honestly, I don't think I've ever said before. I don't think it's a movie I would watch again though. - DirectorSteven BrillStarsElizabeth BanksJames MarsdenGillian JacobsA reporter's dream of becoming a news anchor is compromised after a one-night stand leaves her stranded in downtown L.A. without a phone, car, ID or money - and only 8 hours to make it to the most important job interview of her life.6/10
Entertaining, and had some funny moments. Worth watching. - DirectorMax NicholsStarsMiles TellerLio TiptonJessica SzohrA snowstorm forces two people who made an online connection to unwillingly extend their one-night stand as the blizzard goes through the night.8/10
I really enjoyed this movie. It was cute, and had some funny moments. But I'm a sucker for a romantic comedy. - DirectorBrin HillStarsMichael Stahl-DavidZoe KazanMark FeuersteinTwo seemingly unconnected souls from different corners of the United States make a telepathic bond that allows them to see, hear and feel the other's experiences, creating a bond that apparently can't be broken.7/10
Interesting concept for sure. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes romantic movies. - DirectorRon KraussStarsVanessa HudgensRosario DawsonBrendan FraserA pregnant teenager flees her abusive mother in search of her father, only to be rejected by her stepmother and forced to survive on the streets until a compassionate stranger offers a hopeful alternative.7/10
Interesting storyline. - DirectorRobert DornhelmStarsHayden PanettiereMarcia Gay HardenVincent RiottaBased on the events surrounding the murder of British student Meredith Kercher.6/10
Interesting to watch what happened in the court trials on television (more interesting than reading about it), but I'm not sure if the movie was trying to convince people that Amanda Knox was innocent or guilty. It's possible that they were trying to stay neutral, but they kept swaying back and forth between innocence and guilt. At times it felt like they were trying to make her seem guilty (when the police show up at the beginning, being emotionless during questioning), and at others it seems like they were trying to make her seem innocent (all her emotions after going to prison and during the trial). - DirectorNorman JewisonStarsCherNicolas CageOlympia DukakisLoretta Castorini, a bookkeeper from Brooklyn, New York, finds herself in a difficult situation when she falls for the brother of the man she has agreed to marry.8/10
I really enjoyed this movie. - DirectorMatthew VaughnStarsCharlie CoxClaire DanesSienna MillerIn a countryside town bordering on a magical land, a young man makes a promise to his beloved that he'll retrieve a fallen star by venturing into the magical realm.5/10
Such a strange movie... Just not my kind of movie I guess. - DirectorHerbert RossStarsShirley MacLaineOlympia DukakisSally FieldA young beautician, newly arrived in a small Louisiana town, finds work at the local salon, where a small group of women share a close bond of friendship, and welcome her into the fold.6/10
Such a sad movie. I had no idea it was based on a true story. That just makes it even more sad. - DirectorRob ReinerStarsCary ElwesMandy PatinkinRobin WrightA bedridden boy's grandfather reads him the story of a farmboy-turned-pirate who encounters numerous obstacles, enemies and allies in his quest to be reunited with his true love.7/10
Good movie, I just wish I had watched it when I was younger. I think I would have liked it more. - DirectorGarry MarshallStarsJulie AndrewsAnne HathawayHector ElizondoMia Thermopolis has just found out that she is the heir apparent to the throne of Genovia. With her friends Lilly and Michael Moscovitz in tow, she tries to navigate through the rest of her sixteenth year.8/10
I loved this movie when I was 16, and I still love it now. It's a typical "picked-on-girl finds out she's a princess" movie, but it never really feels that way. Anne Hathaway makes this movie her own. - DirectorGarry MarshallStarsAnne HathawayCallum BlueJulie AndrewsNow settled in Genovia, Princess Mia faces a new revelation: she is being primed for an arranged marriage to an English suitor.7/10
This one is also a good movie, not as good as the first one of course (but sequels rarely are), but still a good movie. - DirectorBille WoodruffStarsAlexandra ShippLeonard RobertsJordan CallowayDanielle (Dani) Bolton, an upper class Brooklyn girl, defies her parents in order to attend a college in Georgia so she can join - and revitalize - their once-prominent drumline.6/10
I enjoyed this movie, but not as much as the first one (but I didn't really expect to honestly... sequel + made for tv = never as good). It was entertaining though, and kept my attention. The drum-lines were definitely not as cool as they were in the first one though. - DirectorWes BallStarsDylan O'BrienKaya ScodelarioWill PoulterThomas is deposited in a community of boys after his memory is erased, soon learning they're all trapped in a maze that will require him to join forces with fellow "runners" for a shot at escape.4/10
Entertaining enough to keep me watching it to the end, but only in the hopes that they explained it.. and in the end I was more confused than I was in the beginning. It could possibly be a good movie for those who have read the books... but maybe not. I'm thinking that if they left enough out of it that it didn't even make sense to someone who hadn't read the books, they probably also left enough out that people who did read the books were pissed off. - DirectorJenée LaMarqueStarsZoe KazanJake JohnsonRon LivingstonA tragedy presents Laurel with the chance to reinvent herself as her idolized twin sister, Audrey. As she eases into the life she has always wanted, she must decide between continuing the lie or revealing herself as the perfect fraud.6/10
I honestly don't even know where to start with this one. Wow. Such a weird, yet entertaining concept. I understand why she did it, after "her death" she just didn't think anyone had cared about her at all so why would she bother telling everyone that it was actually her twin that had died, not her. But that had to be seriously traumatizing for her... it's a wonder she wasn't even more *beep* up than she was. - DirectorJames WanStarsVin DieselPaul WalkerDwayne JohnsonDeckard Shaw seeks revenge against Dominic Toretto and his family for his comatose brother.9/10
I really enjoyed it, but I've enjoyed all of them. It has crazy, unrealistic scenes - but all of the Fast & Furious movies have, so that was to be expected. I really liked the tribute they did for Paul Walker at the end. - DirectorJon FavreauStarsRobert Downey Jr.Gwyneth PaltrowTerrence HowardAfter being held captive in an Afghan cave, billionaire engineer Tony Stark creates a unique weaponized suit of armor to fight evil.8/10
Loved it in 2008 and still love it now. - DirectorDuane AdlerStarsDerek HoughBoAWill Yun LeeA pair of star-crossed dancers in New York find themselves at the center of a bitter rivalry between their brothers' underground dance clubs.6/10
Entertaining... somewhat. - DirectorPhil LordChristopher MillerStarsChanning TatumJonah HillIce CubeAfter making their way through high school (twice), big changes are in store for officers Schmidt and Jenko when they go deep undercover at a local college.6/10
Not as good as the first one, but they rarely are. - DirectorDavid FincherStarsBen AffleckRosamund PikeNeil Patrick HarrisWith his wife's disappearance having become the focus of an intense media circus, a man sees the spotlight turned on him when it's suspected that he may not be innocent.8/10
Very interesting movie. - DirectorBen FalconeStarsMelissa McCarthySusan SarandonKathy BatesAfter getting fired and finding out that her husband is cheating, Tammy hits the road with her profane, alcoholic grandmother.5/10
Not as funny as I had hoped, but entertaining enough to keep me watching to the end. - DirectorDavid DobkinStarsRobert Downey Jr.Robert DuvallVera FarmigaBig-city lawyer Hank Palmer returns to his childhood home where his father, the town's judge, is suspected of murder. Hank sets out to discover the truth; along the way he reconnects with his estranged family.9/10
Very good movie. I'd definitely recommend this one. - DirectorAlejandro G. IñárrituStarsMichael KeatonZach GalifianakisEdward NortonA washed-up superhero actor attempts to revive his fading career by writing, directing, and starring in a Broadway production.5/10
I don't think I got this movie to be honest. I've heard so many good reviews about it, but yeah, I didn't see it. - DirectorColin TrevorrowStarsChris PrattBryce Dallas HowardTy SimpkinsA new theme park, built on the original site of Jurassic Park, creates a genetically modified hybrid dinosaur, the Indominus Rex, which escapes containment and goes on a killing spree.9/10
