Repo! The Genetic Opera

      After being nagged by my husband to watch this musical he found, I finally decided to watch it. If you liked Rocky Horror Picure Show, you'll also love Repo! The Genetic Opera. It's billed to be a cult classic and I fully agree that it certainly will be. My favorite part is when the two brothers in the movie argue about who will inherit the company when their ill father dies. Wow!

     I hated that Paris Hilton is in here however near the end of the film when her face falls off , it seemed that finally we were seeing the real Paris or how she looks inside. lol! You've got to see this film it you like off the wall rock operas!

The Ringer

      The Ringer is a cute movie about a down on his luck guy competing in the special olympics to win money from bets. What made this movie so cute is the wonderful job that some of these special actors did as well as the normal actors did pretending to be special. I don't think I would pay full price to see this if it ever should come back to the theater, however I do recommend seeing it. Johnny Knoxville was very good in the lead roll.

Seven Pounds

     I have to tell you that I knew what this film was about from just the first ten minutes or so, and I turned it off. I stopped watching it not only because I had it figured out from beginning to end or so I thought, but also because it involved the subject of organ donation.

     I lost my parents this December 2008, just two days apart, and we donated my moms organs. It was not just a process of asking and saying yes. There were numerous questions about organs and what could or would be done with them. It was a painful process for me.

     Anyway, several days later I decided to watch the entire film. I was wrong about the end, but even so I'm glad I watched it. It was a very sad flick and Will Smith was excellent in the role. If you need a good cry, this is the movie you want.

Quarantine

     Quarantine, what can I say? The movies trailer is good and perks your interest, and of course we've all seen the part of the trailer where the woman is laying down crying in the dark and suddenly screams and is quickly dragged away. Unfortunately that is the best part of this movie, and it's at the very end of the film.
     It should be scary and you know they've done their best to make it scary, however it just comes across as annoying. The screaming gets to be a bit much, and the constant state of darkness is maddening. I much prefer that we see everything dimly, indicating that it's really dark. The way it is you really only see half the movie and just short glimpses of the special effects makeup. Too much been there, done that. If you want to see the film, just go to U-Tube and watch the movie trailer. What you see there is pretty much it, and you'll save yourself some time and money.

Tropic Thunder

     Tropic Thunder is not really my kind of movie, however I thought it was very funny right up till the end. The right cast made this movie the success it is. You just can't go wrong with Robert Downey, Jr, Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Nick Nolte to name a few. My favorite parts were Jack Black being tied to the tree, and Downey, Jr trying to be black. These guys made the movie and of course had a good script with which to do it.
