| The Exorcist: The Version You've Never Seen (Linda Blair, Ella Burstyn) Not as scary as I thought it would be but maybe I was expecting more because of the way my hubby was freakin' out about watching it! Personally I thought The Ring was scarier but I can understand why Linda Blair received an Academy nomination for her role. She was AMAZING! I can't believe that she was only 12? Warning: some of the new parts are very graphic so may not be suitable for young people. Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Walking Tall (The Rock, Johnny Knoxville, Neal McDonough) Not TOO bad of a movie. Apparently the original was better but as I have never seen it I have nothing to compare it too. So far I like The Rock in The Rundown better but that is probably because he has potential to be funny more so than dramatic. But this movie is still worth watching. Rating: 2.5 out of 5 Fahrenheit 9/11 (Michael Moore) Definitely a very good documentary but I'm sure conservatives/Republicans may not agree! Makes you realize how good you have it living in Canada, despite how much we may all complain about it sometimes. I can honestly say that next time my husband says we should live somewhere warmer like Florida, I will remind him of this movie and the things we saw in it. I suggest everyone watch this one! Rating: 5 out of 5 Home on the Range (voices of Roseanne Barr, Jennifer Tilly, Judy Dench) Not too bad of a movie though not as funny as I expected. Really kind of disappointing but each of the characters play their parts very well and would like to see Roseanne do something else in animation. I would suggest watching it but I don't know about buying it. Rating: 2.5 out of 5 Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (Sarah Michelle Gellar, Freddy Prinze Jr.) If you liked the first one, you'll like this one. The animation for Scooby is phenomenal, especially when you look at the behind the scenes footage. Mathew Lillard who plays Shaggy is identical to the animated version, definitely a job well done by him. Kids will definitely enjoy this movie and if you bought the first one, I would suggest buying this one. Worth watching more than once. Rating: 3 out of 5 The Punisher (Thomas Jane, John Travolta) What was Travolta thinking? I admit I didn't watch the entire movie but am soooo glad I didn't! Definitely a waste of anyone's money and wouldn't suggest watching, renting and definitely not buying this movie! Maybe it sounded good on paper but it just didn't translate to the big screen in a good way at all! Rating: 0 out of 5 |
