One of my guilty pleasures is the Fast and Furious series! They are so exciting and so much fun to watch. I was so excited to find out that there was going to be a fifth one! So of course, as soon as I could, I hit the movie theater to watch it!
The movie starts with where the last one ended. Dom, Vin Diesel's character, was in the prison bus en route to prison. Brian, Paul Walker, and Mia, Jordana Brewster, are driving around the bus. They then cause a car accident with the bus and break Dom out. They then go on the run and meet up in Rio where a "job" goes wrong. The rest of the movie is about how the three of them get revenge on the person they were supposed to be doing the job for.
The whole movie is intense and exciting. Everything you expect from a Fast and Furious movie.

Mary Poppins
I was just so excited that this movie was on TV yesterday. Lately, I've been trying to catch the Disney movies as they come out of the vault. This is one I can't wait to reappear again.
When I was younger this was one of my very favorite Disney movies. I knew all the songs and would sing along at the top of my lungs! Yesterday, my mom, brothers and I relived those wonderful days and sang at the top of our lungs to every song :)
The magicalness to this movie is what makes it amazing. Who wouldn't want to have a nanny who seemed to have magical powers and looked and sounded like Julie Andrews? After I watched the movie yesterday, I couldn't get Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious out of my head!

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1
I have a slight obsession with Harry Potter. Not only have I read and watched all the movies and books available several times over BUT 2 family trips have been centered around Harry Potter. The first was two summers ago when my family and I went up to Chicago for a week to visit the Harry Potter exhibit at a museum. The second was when my family and I went to the Harry Potter theme park this past summer at Universal Studios!
This first installment of the Deathly Hallows was so great. I was happy to hear that they are going to do the last book into two parts. I feel that they would not have been able to fit everything into one movie.
This one starts with Harry and his friends getting ready to fly Harry to safety. When they start to leave the house they run into an attack by Voldemort and his followers. Harry makes it to safety but there are two significant casualties in this part. (my brother called me after one happened freaking out!) Harry, Ron, and Hermione set out on their own to finish Dumbledore's work on finding and destroying the horcruxes. The rest of this movie is following the threesome on their adventure.
The movie series has become darker as they have progressed and this part is the darkest yet.

Tron
I love movies with different worlds that I can get lost in. That being said, I love the movie Tron. I have already watched it twice since purchasing the movie on Tuesday. The movie is about a boy, Sam Flynn, who's dad, Kevin Flynn, disappeared when he was young. One day, his dad's friend, Alan Bradley, receives a page from Kevin's old office at the arcade he owned. He tells Sam he should go check the place out. When Sam gets to the arcade he finds a secret room where his dad would do a lot of his work. Sam sits down to the computer in the room, hacks into the system, and his journey onto the grid, the world of Tron begins!
There are a few sentimental moments but overall it is more action scenes. The movie is very futuristic and fun to watch, but you really have to pay attention to completely understand what is going on in the movie.
Get excited for this week!! Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 comes out on Friday!!

Life As We Know It
THis movie stars Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel as two people who cannot stand each other. They tried to go on a date but it failed miserably. Alas, they're best friends end up getting married and they are forced to be in each other's presence. They soon found out they were both named as legal guardians of their friends' baby. The rest of the movie is about the two raising the baby the best that they can.
I fell in love with this movie after watching it. I kept getting hints though of the Kate Hudson movie, Raising Helen. This is definitely a movie I am considering purchasing. I laughed hysterically and cried and there were even a few moments that I just had to aww at. Altogether, definitely a movie worth watching!

Casablanca
I'm a sucker for old movies. Casablanca is one of my very favorite movies of all time. So I decided for this week's post I would talk about it.
Casablanca is a movie that takes place in, of course, Casablanca in Africa during World War II. The movie follows Ilsa and her husband Victor as they try to get to America from Casablanca. Their paths cross with Rick who is their way out. However, Ilsa and Rick have a mysterious past that her husband does not know about.
This is such a wonderful movie and I cry everytime at the airplane scene. This is one old movie that everyone should watch!

Spring Break is upon us!!
Last night Ashton and I were flipping threw the channels down here in Fort Myers, Florida and ran across Aladdin on ABC Family.

Worst Villian: Maleficent (Everything about her was terrifying!)
Hottest Hero: Prince Phillip
Favorite Princess: Belle
Favorite Disney Movie: Beauty and the Beast! I swore when I was little that Belle and I looked exactly like alike :)
Now it's your turn guys!!
Have a wonderful spring break!!

Toy Story 3
I decided I've been watching too many scary movies lately. Toy Story was a must for me. Whenever I'm having a bad day or week I just want to put in a good Disney movie and cuddle up under the covers.
I, as I'm sure everyone else did, grew up with the Toy Story characters. My brother owned a Woody and Buzz doll and I always loved Bo Peep. I was so excited when I found out there was going to be a third movie! It definitely didn't disappoint. I watched it for the first time in theaters with my brothers.
The story stars with Andy all grown up and getting ready to leave for college. His toys accidently get donated to a daycare run by a tyrannical bear called Lots-O. The rest of the story deals with the toys adventures when they try to escape and get back to Andy.
There were a couple of parts that I thought the toys I grew up with were doomed and I cried a little at the end when I realized it really was over.

The Thing
Im in film appreciation this semester. Every Wednesday night we watch a movie as a class. This week we watched the 1982 John Carpenter movie The Thing.
This is a horror film but I didn't find myself too terrified (until of course my friend explained how she thought the monster looked like a spider, my biggest fear). The only reason I couldn't look out from behind my hands is the gore that John Carpenter found the need to put in. Blood + guts = a disgusted ebeth.
The story is about a group of researchers in Antarctica who stumble upon an alien ship and an alien that shapshifts into perfect replicas of human beings. I felt unsatisfied at the end, wanting to know what happened next.
After the movie I searched IMDb to find out more about the movie and found out that they are making a prequel to the movie. It will have the same title. This is going to be difficult for me to watch. Movies today seem to scare me more then the horror movies from the past.

Paranormal Activity 2
I have no idea how I got talked into watching this one.
I hate scary movies. And this one definitely terrified me. I couldn't fall asleep afterwards for the longest time.
The movie is a prequel to the first Paranormal Activity (which I did not watch and I probably never will). The movie centers around a family with a newborn baby boy. One day the family comes home to find all their things thrown around the house. The only room not touched was the baby's room. Thinking it was a burglar and not wanting it to happen again, the family puts up cameras. Most of the rest of the movie is seen through those cameras. The cameras catch some crazy things happening (doors opening by itself, shadows, the pool vacuum lift itself out of the pool, and the cabinets all opening at the same time just to name a few).
The movie was completely messed up and I had my eyes covered most of the time. Definitely not one I will watch again!

The Roommate
Saw The Roommate last night with my roomie Ashton.
The movie was completely psychotic. I didn't think Leighton Meester had it in her. She played her role so well it's scary. I will never be able to look at her the same way. Watching this movie made me so glad I would never have to be a freshman in college again!
The movie is about a girl from Iowa coming to school in LA for her freshman year. She is paired up with a random roommate who turns out to be Leighton Meester. Through the whole movie you can tell she's just a little off. *Spoiler Alert* One example is when she kills the kitten in the dryer.** All she wants is her roommate to be her best friend. She finally completely loses it and things do NOT go her way.
I'm glad I can say I've seen it but I will probably NEVER see it again. It freaked me out way too much!

Secretariat
Next movie up for discussion: Secretariat!
I bought this movie on Tuesday. I hadn't seen it yet but I'm a sucker for Disney movies so I knew I'd like it and want to watch it over and over again. I was right!!
The movie is about a woman who is trying to save her family farm. A horse is born and she has it trained to race. The goal is for Secretariat to win the triple crown... The Kentucky Derby, Preakness Steaks, and Belmont Steaks. If Secretariat loses just one, he will be devalued and the family will lose the farm. Of course, since this is based on a true story, we know exactly how it ends. BUT I was still on the edge of my seat, nervous, afraid that the horse won't win the next race. There was even a tear or two by the end.
I would definitely recommend anyone to watch this. A wonderful Disney family movie.

Movies, Movies, Movies!
So I created this blog for my social media marketing class. I was trying to think of what I could write about for the next few months that could keep me interested.
My answer: Movies!!
I'm obsessed.
When in Wal-Mart, it's difficult for me to pass by the $5 movie bin and NOT buy a new movie. I always make sure to visit the electronics section of Target to look at the movies they have. If I go see a movie and love it I will make sure to buy it the day it comes out at Best Buy. (It's always cheaper to buy the movie the day it comes out instead of waiting!)
I decided that this blog will be me talking about the movies I see and what I thought about them.
I will start with a movie I saw on Friday. No Strings Attached with Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman. I have not laughed so hard at a movie in a long time. There were times I had tears in my eyes from laughing so hard.
The movie is about a boy and a girl who decide to take their friendship to one with benefits... with "no strings attached." As soon as one of them started feeling something for the other person, they would end it.
Kutcher and Portman work well together in this movie. It was extremely entertaining to watch and pretty racy at some parts (definitely not a kid movie). This may be a movie I have to but the day it comes out on movie!
