Updated to add Clueless' review of
A Mighty Heart:
A Mighty Heart
Angelina Jolie and Dan Futterman star in this forlorn drama of a married couple covering the happenings in the middle-east following the events of nine eleven.
This movie was very depressing, but the movie was very well done and the actors did an amazing job. But this just made for an even sadder ending. This a a great thriller but don't get too hopeful!
Very realistic
Rating: 4
Great job Clueless!

HDR 50
YAY 50 HDRs so far!
I think that makes my grand total up to: 130! (80 SARs and 50 HDRs) not too shabby huh?
Should I actually change my count to 130 now? I don't know maybe I'll add a poll to this and find out what you think!
OK, that business is out of the way let's get to some reviews!
The Brave One:
Jodi Foster's fiance gets beaten to death by some bad men. Jodi Foster freaks out and gets a gun. Jodi Foster becomes BA vigilante! Awesomeness happens for 100 mins. Great movie. Jodi Foster has been in some pretty "ok" movies lately but this one was more than that. I really enjoyed this one and personally think more people should help take out the trash like she does.
Higherdef Rating: 4.5
A Mighty Heart:
You aren't going to believe this... I actually DIDN'T watch a movie that came on my list but instead allowed my lovely and talented fiance watch it instead and I'll let her do the review and I'll c&p it here as a bonus HDR maybe even call it something else!
Clueless Rating: coming soon!
Pineapple Express:
A pot head gets stuck in an unfortunate situation. But luckily he is prepared for it b/c he's got a great case of dumb luck and awesome humor. I was looking forward to seeing this one since I saw Smiley Face and thought it was funny. I wasn't disappointed either. Now, I will say, this movie was full of unrealistic and out there scenarios but that didn't bother me watching this one. Pretty much what you would expect from a couple of stoners running around trying not to get killed or caught by the police.

Ok, so the Koen? Choen? Co-En (is that how you spell it?) brothers have made some great movies so far. This wasn't one of them. It was about a CD-Rom from a Gov't agent falling into the hands of a couple of idiots and they try and use it for leverage to get stuff. I thought it was just lacking something that their other movies had. It wasn't terrible but it just wasn't that great. It was too stupid to be taken seriously and it wasn't serious enough to be taken stupidly... I know, I just blew your mind with that but it's true. It needed to have something extra funny to follow along with or have less stupid crap in it and make it serious. It was interesting but only b/c you were waiting on something to happen. Anyway, I was left bored and wanting something else.

I think I love my wife
Chris Rock has been with his wife for like 10 years or something and has 2 kids he loves but is really just a boring dude. He has a good job and loves his kids but it just bored out of his mind with the monotony of his existence. So then comes this really hot chick from out of his past. And get this... she's into him! So, of course, he strikes up a friendship and is tempted galore! This movie was pretty good with the plot and the ending etc etc; however, it was pretty boring for the most part. I mean, it was good but it just seemed to drag out more than it needed to. I think it was only a 90 min flick but it seemed like they could have cut out a 1/3 of it and put it on TNT instead. All that being said I still enjoyed it and think Chris Rock should do more movies where he's not being his stupid comedy character guy.

HDR 49
So close to 50... so close!! but 49 comes first!!
gone baby gone:
Dude, didn't they say this in Gone in 60 secs? I mean I thought this was about a car getting stolen! But it's not! it's about a kid getting abducted and crazy stuff happening! It was actually really good. It has Morgan Freeman in it, Ben Aflack but don't let that deter you, Ben Aflack's bro (don't let that deter you either) and that hot girl I told you about who was in Eagle Eye Michelle Monaghan; well, she's a cute-hot anyway. So anyway, the plot is this: Little girl goes missing. Everyone is a suspect! craziness happens! people get beat up and threatened! crazy ending happens! roll credits. Cool huh?

I'll make this decision to see this movie easy for you:

Don't like Vin Diesel = don't see this movie

Dude The earth is melting! AHHHHHHHHHH! GO TO HIGHER GROUND!! I SEE THE OCEAN FROM MY WINDOW!! Ok, well, not really that dramatic but don't tell that to Leo-retardo Di-Craprio... I bet he's never heard that one before! (I'm totally kidding, I'm not in the 3rd grade anymore, I passed after the 3rd try) but I'm digressing again!! So Leo makes a movie about Global Warming b/c he's pretty sure we are screwed. But this movie is interesting and does give us great ways to pay money to help this not happen to us.

I'm not sure but I don't think that people should be so stupid to think that we aren't doing any damage at all.

Oh wait! I have an idea... I will bet you anything and everything that if (oh God he said "if") IF we actually started doing things better we could actually make MORE MONEY b/c of it!
"No freaking way shoeless now you are just talking crazy talk!"
Heck yea freaking way dude! Think about it. Make a clean cheap energy efficient car that everyone wants that costs ... let's say 10k and last about 200k miles. Then you can recycle it for 5k and go again and you're gonna send those chinese fool's heads into orbit! Plus, lets harness the power of the sun for power use and then charge for it and we can lower costs for the consumer while (wait for it) maximize profits for the power co!
Standing ovation anyone?
but it won't happen, not now anyway. B/C the naysayers will claim it's "too expensive" and "will never work" and that's just how it is.

Sorry for the lack of blogs over the past couple of weeks but I, thankfully, have been really busy with some work! YAY!
on to the reviewing!
Shortbus:
Ok, I'm not really sure how I get some movies on the list or why I would add them sometimes, and I have had my list online going for about 3 years now or something and so I'm guessing I (or someone I knew at the time) put this movie on the list a LONG time ago and then it just took lots of other movies jumping it over and over again before it finally made its way off my list and into my mailbox. Well, this movie is a head scratcher for sure... so let's see... I just checked IMDB for its "plot" synopsis and here's what it says: A group of New Yorkers get caught up in their romantic-sexual milieu converge at an underground salon infamous for its blend of art, music, politics, and carnality.
Not too crazy sounding right? And then right below that it says: 6 award wins and 5 nominations. So that sounds like a winner right? Well, I will flat out say, this movie was a porn and not a funny porn with bad acting and plumbers and cheerleaders and funky music, but more like a gay porn with way too much crazy stuff going on. I think there might have been a plot in this movie at some point but I felt dirty watching it and completely uncomfortable. There's a way to artist when making a movie about gays in the community and with their sexuality but this was over the line with good taste. I was really disappointed in this movie, and it gets on the very short list of movies I didn't make it all the way through. In fact, this might have been the shortest movie duration I've ever attempted in a movie... and that makes "shortbus" a very fitting name for it.
Higherdef Rating: 0... actually it's a negative.
Smiley Face:
Do you know that pot heads have trouble remembering stuff? Well, Smiley Face sure as heck exploits this notion. Anna Faris stars in this movie and it was actually quite funny for a pot head movie. I don't really think there's anything else left to say b/c it was quite an adventure this young pot head girl goes on.
Higherdef Rating: 3.5
Eagle eye:
So ummm there's this guy... no wait.... there's this girl AND this guy. And they are getting told by this voice what to do to survive getting caught by a bunch of gov't people and they get all this crazy stuff to happen to them. Ok, so it's hard to explain this movie anymore than the previews already did without revealing the meat of hte plot and ruining it for you so I won't do that. Instead I'll say this. Shia LaBeouf is a great actor but needs to get control of his drinking and smoking problems before its too late b/c he really is great and has a bright future ahead of him. Michelle Monaghan is really underrated as a hot chick in movies and did a great job in this one too. So that being said this was a cool movie. Very much what the previews said. Now, you can't watch a movie like this with the "realistic card" ready to play, bc you'll be P-Oed! It's not realistic at all but it's fun and that's cool by me. Great action. Fun time all around!
Higherdef Rating: 4
Awake:
Hayden Christiansen is a billionaire kid and runs a billion $$$ company, but... he's gonna die. So that sux. Anyway, he is going to have a heart transplant and no amount of money is going to make that any different. So, THEN! (Check this out) THEN! when he's getting the operation started... he experiences all the stuff while being in this coma like state! Crazy huh? he can feel his chest getting cut open and then the saw on this chest and the ripping of the bones as they separate it! OUCH! FREAKING OUCH DUDE!! But anyway, this movie isn't about that at all. I mean, kinda, but not really. It's totally different than that. Oh and Jessica Alba is in it and it's pre-kid popping out of her so she's hot and almost naked in a couple of scenes so you should like this one already. So, again, I can't say much else b/c I'll ruin it for you but I can say this movie wasn't what I expected but it was pretty good. Not dramatic or thrilling but interesting. Terrance Howard is also in this one and he's a great actor. Watch his movies too.
Higherdef Rating: 4
American gangster:
DENZEL!! ITS DENZELLLLLLLL!!! OMG!! OMG OMG!! IT'S DENZEL WASHINGTON! He's great in everything right? well, not everything but he is great and (turn on lisp) super sexy (turn lisp off). So anyway, this is actually a really interesting movie and based off a true story. So there's a cop (played by Russel Crowe) and he's trying to get to the top of the drug lords in NY and he fights the tough battles all over even dealing wiht corrupt cops, crazy mob dudes and everything in between. So, anyway.... this is a great movie. Really long but good. I think it's like 3 hours or so but I def think they needed to keep it that long to really tell the story right. I won't get into the plot details b/c I think I already said enough about it already.
