Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter

When I heard that they were taking my favorite president and turning him into a vampire hunter I was a little skeptical but I went to see Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter and it was really pretty good. Normally I don't go to vampire movies but I was curious about how they would take our sixteenth President of the United States and make him a vampire hunter and would they change the history to do it. The answer is no. The history of Abraham Lincoln was all there but they just added back story to how some things happened to include vampires. It was well cast and well done. I highly recommend this movie even if you don't like vampire movies.

Rock of Ages

Today I am going to review the movie Rock of Ages. I think what drew me to this movie was first the soundtrack because it has all these great songs from Journey, Twisted Sister, Starship, Bon Jovi, Guns n Roses and more. It is about this rocker Stacee Jaxx played by Tom Cruise (who was very convincing and not a bad singer). Paul Giamatti plays his manager, Julianne Hough plays Sheri (small town girl), Mary J. Blige plays the owner of a strip club called the Venus Club, Catherine Zeta Jones plays Patty the mayor's wife and Bryan Cranston plays the mayor. Alec Baldwin plays the owner of the nightclub called the Bourbon Room, and Russell Brand plays a worker at the club and there is a newcomer names Diego Boneta plays a would be singer who gets his big break. The movie moved along and all the characters sang their own songs. It is great to see the eighties fashions again along with the hair. I recommend this movie. It is a great way to spend an evening. I think its worth the money.

Madagascar 3

Today I am going to write about the movie Madagascar 3. This is the third installment and the originals voices are back. Ben Stiller as Alex the lion, David Schwimmer as Melman the giraffe, Jada Pinkett-Smith as Gloria the hippo and Chris Rock as Marty the zebra. They are trying to get back to New York City Zoo and they end up in Monte Carlo trying to find the penguins. They are again on the run from a french captain who loves to kill animals and hang them up on her wall and she needs a lion so she decides to go after Alex. Now the runaways try to hide from this captain by trying to blend in with a circus. This is a disaster waiting to happen but it all ends well. This movie was by far the best of the three. Little kids will love it and so will the parents. Definitely worth the price of admission. Next I will review Rock of Ages.

What to Expect When you are Expecting

You guys are lucky today because I am going to now review What to Expect When you are Expecting. I know I got a little behind on my movies so this should get me caught up until next week. This movie has a pretty good cast with Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, Elizabeth Banks, Matthew Morrison, Chris Rock, Brooklyn Decker and Dennis Quaid with other great supporting cast members and a brief cameo of Megan Mellaly (from Will and Grace) as herself on a fictional dance competition. There is adoption, miscarriage, miracle, twins and surprise pregnancies in this movie. I thought it was charming and when all the pregnant women seem to go into labor at the same time it is a hilarious look at birth. I laughed and I cried. I give this movie 3 out of 5 stars so its worth the price of ticket. I must say though that I have never seen so many pregnant women come to one movie in my life.

Men in Black 3

Today I am going to give a review on the movie Men in Black 3. This movie stars Will Smith as Agent J, Tommy Lee Jones as Agent K, Josh Brolin as a young Agent K and Emma Thompson as the new leader.
At first I was a little skeptical about making a third installment of MIB 3 but this movie had the same energy as the other two. When people ask me how it was, I simply tell them that it is not as good as the first but better than the second. Which is mostly true of any trilogy (not all though). This movie is worth the price of admission. I give it a 3 out 5 stars.
