Movie Reviews

I usually go to the movies with either my sister, Sarah, or my best friend, Scott.
I want to rate my movies using our favorite movie candy, gummie bears, but I can't find a good graphic for it. If you know where one is, please e-mail me and let me know. Instead, I am going to use M&M's to do my ratings, since it is the second favorite candy of choice at the movies!

The scale is from 1 - 5, 1 "M&M" being pretty bad, and
5 "M&M's" being excellent. Obviously, this is not a
direct correlation to how many M&M's we ate during the movie! :o)
Be forwarned, if I truly think a movie stinks, I will let you know ....

And now, let the reviews begin!

Sixth Sense

The first time I saw this movie, I went alone. When I left this movie, the only thing on my mind was that I would have to see it again! The next time I went with Scott, his sister, my brother, and another friend. The only thing I will say as far as storyline is that there is a surprise ending (at least it is a surprise for 4 out of 5 people. I was surprised, as were my brother and the two other friends. However, Scott said he saw it coming.) There are a couple of gross parts, and a couple places where I was on the edge of my seat with my heart pounding. Despite this, I loved the movie, have seen it twice and will probably buy it, and have no quelm about giving it my 5 point rating.

Toy Story 2

Excellent, that is the word to decribe this movie. I have seen it twice so far, and I want to see it more. To quote Scott, "This movie has it all. Comedy, drama, love story, and action all rolled into one. It is a movie for everyone." The script is great. There are some wonderful new characters, as well as the old favorites from the original. Most people I have talked to liked it better than the original Toy Story, but I personally am undecided. However, I do not hold back giving it a 5 M&M rating, and I am going to buy it.
I recommend you do, too!

Blast From the Past

A very good movie. I like Brendan Frasier as an actor, and I think he did a great job in this movie. He plays a man who was born in a bomb shelter in the 60's. Thirty years later, he emerges to find the world of the 90's. There is a lot of humor, and also quite a few undertones of "this world is crazy!" I marked this movie down one M&M because of the language. I can see why they use it, to help show the contrast between now and then, but I still don't like it. Otherwise, this is a great movie to rent and watch on a Saturday night!

Dumb and Dumber

A friend made me watch this once, and I thought it was a truly terrible movie. I know some liked it, but I didn't, and that is all I have to say on the matter.
The toilet says it all!

More to come!
