Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)
Great...Exciting...Everything I expected it to be
This movie was amazing. I enjoyed every bit of it. The special effects were stunning, the actors were great, and there were a lot of funny and humorous moments. The jungle chase scene was extraordinary, and it felt a lot like the old films...just 20 years later. Some people thought some of the action scenes were a little hokey (one of them being the vine swinging), but if you take it as it is and find humor in it, you'll get a lot out of the movie. There were a lot of great lines in the movie, and a specific character reintroduced from the first movies. There was so much going on this movie that it's hard to explain it without actually seeing it. I recommend anyone seeing it, even if you have never seen the originals!
Definitely gets a 10/10.
Because I Said So (2007)
Hysterically bad.
I got dragged in seeing this movie and knew it was going to be bad, but no where did I expect it to be THIS bad. You have the typical, over-dramatic and over-bearing mother, who's part might have been semi-humorous if it wasn't overdone. Anyway, there was a huge monologue where the mother was just ranting about how hard it is being a single mother, blah blah blah, with 3 kids...and I guess it was supposed to be a serious scene for the movie, but I literally started laughing hysterically with tears in my eyes. It was just sooo tacky and corny that this movie is hard to take seriously at all. And Mandy Moore, she gets these two guys attracted to her for God knows what reason...She's a one-dimensional character with no depth to her personality and it really makes you wonder why these guys have a thing for her. Anyway, she gets caught seeing both of them...expected cliché...she chooses the struggling musician over the successful architect...blah blah. Same ol' same ol'. Definitely an original storyline there.
Also, if they could have had one more scene with them trying to find the cell phone in her crowded purse or in the oven, or wherever...it might have been funny! K...maybe not.
Anyhow, I'd give this a 0 if it was an option.
