Keep Track of all the Movies I Watch in 2008

A disappointment compared to the book but entertaining enough. This was my first movie in the theater since Clara was born so it was a noteworthy occasion regardless of the movie.

2.5/5

My husband is a Hunter S. Thompson fan so I agreed to watch this with him. It was fairly interesting, and I now know more about the man that I ever intended to. Lots of neat political stuff from the late ‘60’s and ‘70’s.

3/5

A great action-packed movie – funny, thrilling, and moving. The Firefly universe ended much too soon, but I’m so glad they were able to make this movie.

5/5

“I aim to misbehave.”

I have a soft spot for classic movies, and I love Jimmy Stewart, but this one didn’t do much for me. To me, it was just a simple love trianle (quadrangle?) story, and I was expecting more.

3/5

This was an okay documentary. The subject matter was interesting, but the documentary could have done a better job presenting the material.

3/5

Ugh. I did not enjoy this movie. Bad acting. Really bad acting. Annoying plot. It earns one star for the creepie crawlies in the mist.

1/5

“There’s something in the mist!!!!”

We saw an outdoor showing of this a few weeks ago. I think I’d only seen it all the way through once before so it almost felt like seeing it for the first time. I have to admit, I don’t get what all the fuss is about when it comes to The Wizard of Oz. I think it’s okay, but it’s not a movie I desire to watch over and over again.

3.5/5

Audrey, Clara, and I ventured out to this one Saturday afternoon. I wasn’t sure how taking Clara would work out, but she fell asleep on the way over and stayed passed out in the Bjorn for almost the entire movie. Nice to know this is something I can do with the girls on weekends Eric’s working. This was also a milestone movie for me…my first-ever 3-D movie! Audrey wasn’t too sure about wearing the glasses until she realized it was a little blurry without them. She loved the 3-D aspect once she got used to it glasses and kept reaching out to touch things.

The movie itself was okay. It was fun to watch for the 3-D factor, but the plot was pretty weak, and the addition of a villain 3/4 of the way through seemed completely unnecessary.

3/5

Audrey and I saw this one several weeks ago. It was watchable but nothing special or memorable. I found some of the humor downright annoying, but Audrey enjoyed herself immensely.

2.5/5

This was such a cute and charming little movie. It’s fun, amazing to look at, and carries a great message. Pixar blows me away, and I can’t wait for Toy Story 3 in a couple of years.

4/5

“Caution: Rogue robots.”
