Property Virgins

On the Canadian HGTV - came across it by accident. I hate reality tv, but this has me hooked. People who have never owned a home before get help finding a house on a budget that suits them & hopefully has everything on their wish list. I like seeing all the cities and the homes. All in all, I say: TRY IT at least once.

Transformers Dark Side of the Moon

3rd movie in the series. Sam has left his last girlfriend and met the girl of his dreams - her lips gross me out. Plot is too complicated to detail in a blog. There is a big fight - autobots die! All in all, I say: SEE IT - don't need to see it in 3D - super cool action.

Paranormal Activity 2

Boring! Nothing interesting happens until the end - also this is a prequel?! The sister of the woman that was possessed in the 1st movie is haunted in this - the demon wants her son. All in all, I say: SKIP IT - I hate movies where they hurt dogs.

Bad Teacher

I didn't like it - maybe it's because I'm a teacher. Cameron wants to meet a man to take care of her and thinks bigger boobs are the way to reach that goal. It was way over the top and a bit to much slap-stick. A lot of the humor was uncomfortably sexual. I was disappointed. All in all, I say: SKIP IT.

Titanic II

One of those Canadian SyFi Channel movies. An ice shelf in Greenland breaks off and causes Tsunamis in the Atlantic which in turn causes the Titanic II to flip over and sink. Meanwhile the coast guard Captain and the scientist head to the boat to save his daughter who is on the boat - not surprising I know. Not a very happy ending. All in all, I say: SKIP IT.

Secretariat

A remake - woman inherits a failing horse ranch and has the courage to stick with a particular race horse to save the ranch. The original was very good - this one was better - except for the soundtrack - which sucked. Diane Lane did a good job. All in all, I say: SEE IT on TV some day.

Nightmare on Elm Street


A remake - parents kill a guy for hurting their kids and later he appears in the kids dreams to get revenge. Not as scary as the original but I'm older and have seen way more horror flicks. The guy that plays Freddie (Human Target) is not as scary as the original. All in all, I say: SEE IT if you like horror & especially if you haven't seen the original and like horror. It's a classic and was well done.
