DVR recorded movie ratings #9

It's been a while and it could be the fact that I didn't really watch movies for quite some time. I was trying to catch up on shows I recorded and playing my new DSi that my hubby got me for my birthday a few weeks ago.

• Sexual Chronicles of a French Family: This movie has a lot of sex and nudity. Everyone in this movie comes out naked except for the principal and secretary. I mean the whole family is naked and having sex (not with each other of course). It has to do with some guy and his friends that dare each other to masturbate in class, record it, send it to some girl so she can judge. Except the boy got caught and suspended. The boy is 18 and a virgin and wonders what it's like to have sex. In the mean time, mom starts to questions whether or not she should talk to her 2 sons and her daughter about their sexual lives. She does, and they don't tell her much, but her father-in-law does dish out some info. It's quite a sad story, but I love it. The rest of the movie has to do with the boy trying to find his sexual side and how to go about it. Meantime, the brother ends up being gay (well bi) and the sis and her man are big ol' nymphos. In the end, I didn't really like the story. It didn't go anywhere. The boy was depressed this whole time because he hadn't had sex yet and when he does, he is smiling on a family portrait and the movie is over. I give this movie 2 Daisy- girls. 
• The Queen of Versailles: Hmmm, I had been wanting to see this movie/documentary when I first heard about it a while back. It was even on my IMDB movie watchlist. Then I saw that it was showing on Bravo and I recorded it. This movie/doc... call it what you want, is pretty interesting. It has to do with David Siegal and his wife and the 8 kids they have (oldest being 12). This family is loaded and set out to build the biggest single-family living mansion in the U.S. Was going to have about 10 kitchens, loads of bathrooms and even more loads of bedrooms, a ballroom, bowling alley... you name it. David owns the biggest timeshare company in the world, but when the economic crisis hit, it hit them big time. I like the family, well the parents. They both seem realistic and don't seem as if they are the king and queen of the world. They are realistic people that realized that they could not build their dream home and have to do with what they have, even shopping at Wal-Mart. It's not to say that mom gave away her fur coats and such, but they weren't trying to be snobby, or fake, or anything of that sort. It was actually sad in a way because David was trying so hard to keep his company going and not wanting to let go of his employees. the economic crisis hit everyone. I recommend seeing this film, I give it 5 Daisy-girls. It was a pretty interesting film.  
• Under the Same Moon: This movie is Mexican with English subtitles. Or American. Anyway, it doesn't really matter if it's Mexican or American, the thing is, it's pretty good to watch. It has to do with a Mexican lady who works for rich families over in Los Angeles. Her son is living with her mom in Mexico. Every Sunday she calls him from a pay phone and she tells him that she wishes she could be with him. I'm quite sure the kid is tired of hearing this BS from mom seeing as she hasn't seen him in about 6 years or so. Anyway, grandma dies, and seeing as he doesn't have a dad, he sets off to cross the border (illegally!) thanks to this young Hispanic couple (who don't speak Spanish!) who are willing to cross him over for some money (so the guy can continue on with his college courses). Everything is going fine after the border patrol checks them out, then they realize that the van they are in has expired tags and a lot of parking tickets. So there goes the van being towed away with the kid hiding under the back seat. A day or so later mom is still working with the richy families and the security guards (also Hispanic) has a thing for her and asks her out but she declines. Some lady from back in Mexico calls the mom to let her know that the kid is missing and that her mom died (this was about 4 days after). Now.... how the fuck are you not going to call someone to let them know your mom passed away?! Anyway, later on the kid tries to get help to go to L.A. and he meets up with some guy who tries to sell him off but some lady takes him. He ends up going to a house where there are illegal men there staying overnight. While working the immigration shows up and all the men scatter. He ends up tagging along with some man that couldn't care less about this boy, but he continues to tag along. they end up in Arizona and the kid says his dad lives there. He ends up seeing dad for the first time in years and the kids story touches the distant father that he promises to take him to L.A. to be with mom, only he doesn't show up. The man that dislikes the kid ends up feeling sorry for him and decides to ride with him to L.A. Meanwhile mom is debating whether or not she should stay in L.A. in case the kid shows up, or go back to Mexico. They finally find each other when mom is at the pay phone she calls her son at every Sunday, and the kid happens to end up there after running away from the cops. End of sob story. It was pretty decent like I said before, I give it 4 Daisy-girls. 

DVR recorded movie ratings #7

Happy Easter everyone! Seeing as my hubby is still sleeping, I figured I would type away some of my movie reviews that I have seen this past week.

• Volver: Let me start out by saying that I could care less about Penelope Cruz. I don't like her accent when she speaks English and I don't like her demeanor. I'm all for Hispanics or other races and ethnicities making it through to movies made in America, but her and a few other Hispanics I couldn't care less for. BUT, there are always exceptions. This movie is not American and is not in English. It is Spanish...and it was good. Even Penelope Cruz. Her acting and her manners and such are so different from American movies. Anyway, onto the movie. It's about her, her sister, her mom and her daughter. Husband loses job, says he will find another one. Penelope comes home from work one day and sees daughter waiting for her. She then starts to cry and says that dad was sexually attacking her and she killed him. Penelope feels angry and sad about it.Tells the daughter that everything will be okay. A neighbor leaves his key of his restaurant to her because he is leaving. She stores the hubby body in the restaurant refrigerator. Some guy comes up to her, says he has a film crew that is hungry, she passes the restaurant over as hers and makes them some food and money on the side. The neighbor has no idea she is doing this, seeing as he is trying to sell it. A neighbor of her aunt calls saying that the aunt died. Penelope, her sis, and her daughter go over there. Sis gets creeped out cause she feels mom present and mom is deceased. Penelope and her mom got along, but she wasn't raised by her, she was raised by her mom instead. 
• **** I did not get a chance to finish the Volver rating and review but go see it. I give it 4 Daisy- girls.****
• Dopamine: 3 guys are working on a computer program and in order to test it out, they decide to put it in some computers in a kindergarten class. One of the guys had slept with the teacher ( but all the guys did not know that she was a teacher since they had met at a bar the previous night). There's a glitch in the program and one of the guys (not the one that slept with the teacher) goes to the kindergarten class to try and fix it. Since the program involves an artificially-lived computer character named Koy Koy, one of the students feels connected to Koy Koy and makes him his friend. The guy and the teacher sort of hit it off. There is a bit of awkwardness, but you know they are into each other. After innocently flirting, they end up kissing and eventually sleep with each other. One of the times they are out at a bar, they realize that the girl has sleep with two of the three guys and the guy that is into her leaves the bar. The men paying the computer guys to develop the program decide to scrap the program and the three guys get upset saying that they have spent the last three years not having a social life, let alone sleep trying to get this program up and running. The guy who likes the teacher makes a copy of it and takes it to the kindergarten class, where he gives the copy to the little boy and says that he can talk to Koy Koy anytime he wants at home. There is awkwardness with the teacher and the guy, they both go on their separate ways. After some time, the guy realizes he has nothing holding him back since the program flopped and decides to go to the teacher, who no longer works at the school. He goes to her apartment and sees that she is selling all her belongings because she is going to move. It ends with both of them confessing how they feel toward each other and that they really don't have anyone else but each other. It was sort of cutesy, I'm giving this 3 or 4 Daisy- girls.
• Storytelling: It's about two small stories set based on two students who have no relation to one another. The first story stars Selma Blair who is taking a small writing course. There's about ten or so students and they read their stories, but are quick to criticize each other, basically saying how much their writing sucks. Only thing is, the harshest critic happens to be the professor who doesn't hold back and doesn't care how he makes his students feel. Selma sees the professor in a bar and they go back to his place and we all know what happens. But before it did, she goes to his restroom and finds pictures of all her other classmates in sexual poses. Seems to be that they have all slept with the professor at one time or another, even the guys, even the guy Selma had been sleeping with when the movie first started. She then shares her story in class and is criticized by the professor saying that it sounds too fictional. It pretty much ends with her saying that it is not fiction and it's true because it happened to her. The second story has to do with Paul Giamatti calling an old classmate and trying to catch up. The conversation is very one-sided and very uncomfortable to witness. The girl can care less about this guy. He then goes to a high school where he tells them that he wants to make a documentary and that it will be shown in HBO and other big channels. Thing is, it's a lie. He wants to make a documentary just to make one, to feel connected to someone and he finds it in some high school loner. This story was more depressing than the first one. I actually didn't really want to see this after some time. So if you want to see a real downer type of movie, this should be one of them. I give it 3 Daisy- girls.

DVR recorded movie ratings #6

This post won't be so long seeing as I have only really seen two movies since my last posting, but the movies I watched were great!

• The Changeling-  I had been wanting to see this movie since it pretty much came out, then I forgot about it. Then I jumped to record it the moment I saw it showing on cable. Seeing as it was late when I started to watch it, I didn't think that I would watch the whole thing (something I hardly do) in one sitting...but I did! Wow, oh wow... this movie was heart-breaking and unbelievable. Angelina Jolie stars as a single mom who went to work one day, came home, and her son was gone. She called the cops and filed a report. Then they found her son, only it wasn't her son and she kept telling the cops that and everyone who would listen. There were too many discrepancies to even begin to believe that this boy was her son. His looks, his height, his appetite, his schooling, his teeth, his manhood. She had teachers, doctors (her own), dentists, her priest saying they would back her up in saying that this boy was not her son, but the cops would have none of that. Instead, they decided to get their own doctor and make excuses for the boys changes [trauma stuns your growth (so much that you SHRINK 3 inches)]. Then they take her to a psych ward until she accepts that the police was right and that the boy is her son. Every day she refused to sign the form stating so and she was left in there being medicated and was about to be given electric shock therapy, until her priest and some lawyers came just in time to stop it. In another related story, there's this other boy who will be deported to Canada who starts crying at the police station. He then states to the police that he has been a witness to his uncle killing so many kids he lost track, but somewhere around 20 at his ranch chicken coop. He goes into detail of what the uncle did and what the uncle made him do. The police don't believe him at first but then they show the boy pictures and the boy is able to identify most of them being victims. Among one of them is Angelina's son. The police goes to the ranch, tells the boy to start digging since "he buried them, might as well dig them up." So the boy dug and about 5 minutes later, the police started seeing shoes, skulls, body parts. They arrested the uncle in Canada, who went into hiding (at least tried to) at his sister's house, but she called the cops. Angelina was told of the killings and of her son being a victim. This was all based on a true story. So true that the residents of the city of Wineville did not want to be associated with such horror that it changed it's name to Mira Loma. As in Mira Loma in California.that's 24 miles east of where my parents live. I know there have been several movies based in Los Angeles and I love that, but somehow this hit home. It was a very sad, stunning, shocking story and movie. If you haven't seen this movie go see it NOW! I give this movie 5 Daisy-girls, PLUS 5 more.
• The Mysteries of Pittsburgh- I stumbled upon this movie after watching I-forgot-what on the LOGO channel. It had to do with some guy who has a mob dad and has finished school. So before he goes to work as a stock broker, he has an unforgettable Summer. He goes to a party and meets Sienna Miller. She is pretty, well was, because I don't think she is now, still cute though. She is quick to tell him that she has a boyfriend. Before he realizes it, the boyfriend becomes his friend. Soon the three are all hanging out all the time. So much that the guy's girlfriend feels left out and soon dumps him. Oh, and she was also his boss at the school bookstore. Stuff happens and the boyfriend leaves for a while, so the guy and the girlfriend become close. The boyfriend comes back and he is in trouble. Turns out he owes to the dad, but states that he can't buy himself out of the debt. They go to dad and in return the boyfriend is told to defriend (my word by the way) the son and in return he will be free. The son says fuck that and leaves town with the boyfriend, but not before breaking into the house and stealing some jewelry. Of course the silent alarm goes off and dad calls the cops. A chase ensues and the boyfriend climbs some stairs and jumps off the smokestack and dies. The son is arrested, dad bails him out. The son asks dad why he called the cops, dad doesn't want to discuss it and tells him to get in the car. The he orders him to get in the car, then demands he get in the car. The son walks away and in a voice-over says he never saw his dad again that he was going to grand central station to catch the train for his future in stocks. It was a pretty decent movie, I give it 4 Daisy-girls.

DVR recorded movie ratings #5

What can I say? The list on my DVR is actually getting smaller and smaller even though I know I've added movies. Something's not right, but I'm not going to bother with it for the time being. I've been thinking about my rating scale and how it's not fair to Daisy that I only use her name and not some type of icon or something in relation to her. Honestly, I haven't even bothered trying to make it any different, but it's the thought that counts (at least for the time being).

• Winter's Bone: Of all places, I recorded this off of Lifetime. I had read articles and such about how Jennifer Lawrence was great in this movie. So I decided to record and watch it. The movie suuuuucks. I don't mean the actual movie, but the whole situation and the characters suck. Jennifer trying to find her drug dealing dad so that he can show up to court because he put the house up for collateral on his bail. The people living in the Ozarks ( which I hope they aren't really like that) who turn their backs to her when she wants information of where her dad may be. The uncle (who has a change of heart after a while). The ladies that beat the shit out of her. The way she finds her dad, thanks to the ladies that beat her earlier in the movie. The whole situation sucked for her. The movie was good. So good, it caught my hubby's interest for at least half of the film, but I think it had to do more with how Jennifer was being treated and her and her family's situation. I don't know what else to really say about this movie, except go see it (unedited and commercial free of course), but don't forget that I warned you of what you are about to see. I give it 4 Daisy-girls.

• X: (aka X:Night of Vengeance). Uhm...wow...ya...wow. First of all, this movie starts out with a naked guy standing in the middle of the room while a lady is talking about his features to a circle of high-class looking women. Okay, let's go back...the movie starts out with a naked guy standing...NAKED! Not as in, oh I see his ass and a lil something. More as in I see his chest, his ass, his cock and his balls.... NAKED! Ok, now that we have gotten that out of the way, the movie doesn't have much else on the guy. It has to do with the girl. High-end call girl who stumbles upon a runaway and asks her if she wants to earn some fast cash by being involved in a threesome. Well, obviously shit goes down and soon enough they are being hunted down by some  bad cop who pretty much wants them dead. It's pretty high paced and lots more girl beatings (wayyyyyyyyyyyy more than Winter's Bone). The lady pretty much gets the shit beat out of her multiple times and repeatedly punched in the face (at that point I pointed out to my hubby that she's not even bleeding all that badly except for a minor cut on the corner of her lip). the homeless girl got annoying a few times, but the movie was too fast paced for me to take much interest. I was rooting more for the beaten gal. Ok, so going back to the plot of the movie...hmm, well I already covered that about after the threesome going bad. I would recommend going to see this movie. There is a lot of tits, ass, dick, chi-chis, and more boobs, but the story line is pretty interesting. I give this movie 4 Daisy-girls.

• Things We Lost In The Fire: It stars Halle Barry, Benicio Del Toro and flashback scenes of David Duchovny. Okay, I get that Halle Barry is hot, but WHY must she always look run down in movies? I'm not saying she needs to be sexy and shit in movies, but why dumb down her looks? Will she not be believable as a widow mourning the loss of her husband and a mom trying to keep her kids happy if she were to look hot? *shakes head* Anyway, this movie got 3 stars and I was left wondering why. I mean the movie is not bad or even that bad, but I don't think it deserves 3 our of 4 stars. Basically David (husband) dies and Halle (wife) asks Benicio to move in because he is her hubby's drug addicted best friend. He says no at first but then reconsiders when she tells him that he can have a place to live rent free in return for him (a man) being there and to help her cope with the murder of her husband (which is told in flashback almost toward the end of the movie). Benicio goes through withdrawals, gets hooked again, and again goes through withdrawals. I don't get what SHE was getting out of all this because it seemed to me that she just had an extra kid to take care of seeing as she was cooking, doing laundry...all for him, as if he was a replacement hubby, BUT she wasn't getting any sex out of it. Like I said, the movie was pretty decent, I just don't see why it was given three stars. I'm willing to give it, well shit, like I've mentioned before I don't dare cut Daisy in half, so I'm going to give this movie 3 Daisy-girls ( if I didn't love my Daisy SO much, I wold give this movie 2.5).

DVR Movie Recording reviews #4

I should really start doing these reviews the same day as I watch these movies for two reasons. One, I lose my momentum and emotions when I write about them days later. Two, I forget which movies I have watched when I write about them a week or so later and by then, I have already watched a few other movies and tend to push them a week after. It's a continuous cycle. But, moving on...

• Charlie Wilson's War- We ended up watching this movie by accident. I would see it on the guide from time to time and I knew it had big names attached to it, but it never really grabbed my attention. It's one of those movies that I wouldn't mind seeing, but not actually record it. And oops, yeah, this was not a movie I had recorded, but one I saw after a show had finished on IFC. Anyway, this movie stars Tom Hanks as Charlie Wilson, who is a (of all things, seeing as where we live) Texan congressman who likes to drink hard liquor and is a womanizer. It also stars Julia Roberts (who I feel does not look good at all as a blonde and big hair). Philip Seymour Hoffman was great in this movie. He put up a fight and was such a smart-ass that I loved it. Anyway, it was a political movie, but with a sense of humor. It had to do with how he  worked with the CIA in administering weapons to Aghans to fight against the Soviets. See this is one of those movies I saw over a week and I cannot recount certain details, but it was a funny and informative movie. I'm quite sure this movie got some type of award seeing as there are three major names in it. Political, but semi-humorously, I give this movie 4 Daisy-girls.
• Imagine Me & You- Rachel gets married to Heck (uhm, ya... the name?...right?!)  and at her wedding she meets the florist (Luce) who decorated the reception. Rachel and Luce hit it off right from the start and soon Rachel sets up Luce with Heck's friend Cooper. Cooper takes a quick liking to Luce and pretty much wants to fuck her, but at a lunch date, she tells him she is gay. That doesn't seem to stop Cooper throughout the movie, until almost the end of the movie. So Rachel and Luce spend a lot of time together and Heck, who has been so busy at work doesn't seem to mind. If anything he feels bad he can't really spend much time with Rachel. After some time, Heck feels as if he is not being a good hubby to Rachel and goes over to talk to Luce about it. He senses there is something wrong with Rachel and hopes that Luce can help him figure out what's going on since Rachel does not seem happy at home. What Heck does not know is that Rachel is in the bad room, with hair all messed up because she and Luce had just finished making out! OOooooh. Soon Heck and Cooper find out and Cooper basically calls Luce a slut for going after a married woman. the thing that was heart breaking for me was when Luce's mom, who has such a big open heart and only wishes the best for her daughter and for Rachel when Rachel went to go talk to her. I loved this movie and I would recommend this movie by giving it 5 Daisy-girls. I'm not really into romantic movies, but at times, there are exceptions.
• The Kid With A Bike- This movie, I'm mixed about. Well the kid makes me angry. I understand there are reasons behind it, but he came off as a little fucker to me and not appreciating what has been given to him. Cyril is an 11 year-old boy who was abandoned by his dad (he doesn't quite know it yet) and was put in a "state- run youth farm" (which looks like a foster home to me). At the beginning he keeps asking about his dad until he is harshly told that his dad left him. He then continues to ask about his bike, that if dad really left, dad would have left the bike for Cyril behind. He runs away and goes back to his apartment he had with dad and keeps kicking and screaming that he wants his bike. The landlord finally lets him in and the bike is nowhere to be found. When Cyril was running away from everyone, he went into a local clinic to hide (but was found) and knocked over a lady, Samantha a local hairdresser, who tells him, "you can hold on, just don't squeeze too hard." Next day, the lady arrives at the "youth farm" and takes Cyril his bike, which he had described earlier, and doesn't even thank her until he is told to do so. He then asks her if he can stay with her on the weekends and she ( not knowing this kid and for some fucken reason) agrees. She does whatever she can do, as far as keeping him happy and teaching him some life values, but the kid is still rude. She even sacrificed her relationship with her boyfriend for Cyril and the kid could care less. They end up finding the dad and go see him at his work. Dad is not thrilled at all. More of why are you here? I don't want to see you. Dad confides in Samantha that he cannot afford Cyril to live with him and that Cyril is basically a burden in his life. She tells him that he has to tell Cyril that and stop leading him on in hopes of reconciling with him once dad settles down. Dad (again harshly) says: I don't want you in my life. I don't want to see you again. Do not come back. The kid could somewhat cares less. He and Samantha go back to their town and he befriends some guy who shows him how to rob people. He is pretty much a drug dealer and stuff. In the end, Cyril (kinda) realizes that he has it going good, living with Rachel and having his bike. If the kid wasn't such an egotistical little bastard who only thinks of himself when people are there for him, I would give this movie a higher rating. As of now, this movie gets 3 Daisy-girls.

DVR movie recording reviews #3

Well, well. I saw these movies about two weeks ago and meant to comment on them, but we were pretty busy last weekend. We ended up going to the Houston Auto Show. Although we aren't big car enthusiasts, it was only 10 bucks and close by. It turned out to be pretty damn cool. There were a few car companies that had test driving, in which you got a gift afterwards. We test drove a Honda Accord and got two  $10 gift cards for Target. We then test drove Volkswagon. I drove the Passat and my hubby drove the Beetle. In the end we got two pairs of sunglasses. The rest of the show was good. Not that we are car hunting but it was nice to get a close-up view of cars that we deemed nice or seemed slightly interested in by watching Top Gear or other sources. We also had high hopes for some cars, but it turned out that they weren't as good or nice as we had thought they were. Still love the BMW X5 (hubby says it's big, I said I can really see myself driving that thing), loved the Volkswagon, loved the Honda. But anywayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, enough about our super-exciting life of non-car enthusiasts, here are three movie reviews:

• Me and Orson Welles: I have never seen a Zack Efron movie (I tried to watch the one about him seeing his younger dead brother, but I got as far as 15 minutes into it and gave up. High School Musical....forget it), but that's not to say that the guy is not cute. He can look hot in some cases. Anyway, this movie is about him being in high school and him getting an acting job in an Orson Welles production of Julius Caesar in 1937. Love the clothes and make-up of that era. It was pretty good. Claire Danes also comes out in it. I don't recall how old she is supposed to be, but I do know that she will do "whatever it takes" for her to meet the right people so she could move up. Zack tries his best in acting to satisfy Orson, but also wants to be true to himself. I don't know much about Orson Welles, but I do know that he comes out in everything he directed, or was it produced? Either way, he is portrayed here as an egotistical bastard that does whatever he can to get his way. Even if it means not giving credit to people who deserve it, or using people just for a grand opening and then firing them after the production is over. I would suggest watching the movie, it was pretty decent.. not at the theater though. I would give this 2.5 Daisy-girls, but since I love my Daisy TOO much and not dare cut her in half, I suggest 3 Daisy-girls.
• The Perfect Family: I had been wanting to see this movie when it came out last year in the theater, but never got a chance. I'm glad I waited. It stars Kathleen Turner as a devoted Catholic mom who is being nominated as  "Catholic of the Year" by her church. She is excited about this, but once she is told that her family will be interviewed so they can see how a Catholic's life should be lived, her happiness quickly fades away. She is married and has two adult children, a son and a daughter. Her husband goes on day to day doing his usual routine of going to work and listening to his wife talk about what she did at church. The son, played by Jason Ritter, is married, but leaves his wife to be with a manicurist. And her daughter, played by Emily Deschanel, is a lesbian and engaged, but mom doesn't know that just yet. Mom tries to hide all this from the church and her competition (Sharon Lawrence), who she has known, I think, since high school. It turns out that the more Mom tried to fix, hide, and ignore things, they do not go away. In the end, she ends up writing a letter to her church telling them the truth and they realize that she could in fact by the "Catholic of the Year" based on her being truthful to everyone. It was a good movie...for Lifetime, which is where I saw it on. I would not suggest paying to see this movie. Just like the Auto Show, my expectations seemed a bit high for such a TV-like movie. I give this movie 2 Daisy-girls.
• The Woods:  I was flipping through the guide and this movie sounded interesting when I read it. I don't know anyone who comes out in it, except for Patricia Clarkson and Bruce Campbell (Burn Notice, which my hubby watches). It turns out that Bruce's daughter Heather burned something down and was taken to a a bad-girl school located in the woods. It turns out that some scary crap happened in the woods years ago and that if you go in there, you will most likely not come back. Has to do with some three girls being called witches and how they had been outcasted by everyone at the school. I think they either ended up killing them, oh yeah, they did with an ax. Well maybe hurting them, but wtf gets hurt with an ax to the head or face? Anyway, back to current time, the bad girl gets called a fire-crotch by the mean girl. Strange stuff happens at night that has to do with fog and tree branches. It's kind of a trippy movie, and they do talk about the axed girls in the woods from the past, so you get the back story to all this that is going on. BUT, it turns out that those girls from the past aren't really dead. No, they are not zombies or anything like that. But it's trippy in a way. Like when Dad and Heather are forced to drink some blood from the headmaster and they both barf and there is either a small branch or a leaf coming out of their mouths. It turns out that the woods really play a BIG part in this movie. If you want to see something different, not scary or gruesome, just mysterious, watch this movie. I give this 3 Daisy-girls.

Continuing with the movie weekend

A-ha! I have returned but once, not twice, but three times to posting in only two days. Thrilling, isn't it? Well at least to me it is. Continuing with my movie viewing from my recordings this weekend, here are two more movies:

• The Extra Man: This movie is a bit strange and sad. It stars Paul Dano, Kevin Kline, John C. Reilly (great in Wreck-It Ralph), and a few others. Paul Dano gets caught at his job trying on a student's bra and is suggested that he move on to another job. So he heads over to New York where he rents a room from Kevin  (I thought he was hilarious in this role), who is a gigolo (but don't tell him that) to older woman he can cares less about. He teaches Paul how to sneak into a broadway show and how to pee outside in public by being discreet. Kevin  also has these pet peeves about stuff, like no fornicating in the apartment, and how one should not do so unless married, which Paul  questions him on, but is quick to ignore the question. Katie Holmes plays his crush, but she finds him to be a bit odd. Oh, then there is John C. Reilly's character who looks like a caveman and has a very horrible (dare I say it?) girl's voice who is going through puberty and an old lady at the same time. Moving on, Paul  has had dreams in which he dresses like a transvestite and finds someone who can give him a make-over. Only then does he realize that he doesn't like the way he looks like a girl and decides that he is better off being man. By then Kevin  walks in through the door and disapproves of what he sees telling Paul he needs to move out ASAP. Somehow, they reconcile and Paul brings Kevin baubles (which he likes) and Paul doesn't have to move out. If you want to have a couple of chuckles, I recommend this movie 2 Daisy-girls.
• Prosecuting Casey Anthony: This movie made me upset, as I'm sure it did many other people all over again about this case. Besides knowing the obvious ending, I felt that it focused too much on Rob Lowe's attorney character. By the way, can that man ever look bad?!? He is some hot stuff. Anyway, sorry for the distraction, but as I was saying, there wasn't much focus on Casey Anthony or Caylee. I felt that it made me question this whole case all over again and got nowhere. I thought they were going to show them questioning her and catching her in her lies before she was arrested. I wasn't really much into this case as the nation or my best friend was at the time it was happening, but I went to Crime Library and read about it. That girl is such a liar and everything else that goes with it. If you want unsatisfactory results and too much focus on the everyone else besides the person who this movie is named after, go see it. I give it 1 Daisy-girl.
