These are the movies I’ve watched this month and I’ve given each one a grade and 5 words to describe it. I’ve seen quite a few since I’ve had to take it easy this month due to the babe. If you’ve seen any of the movies leave me your 1-5 words in the comments and I’ll add them to the post. Or, if you are feeling ambitious and want to do this on your own blog leave me a link in the comments and I’ll add it to the bottom of the post. Of course, you can always just comment 🙂

Let’s see here, Ratatouille :: Culinary rats? Superb Pixar recipe.
I’m a recent fan to Pixar.
I was disappointed in Ratatouille – I would give it a B also.
I had no expectations and liked it, just didn’t love it like I loved Wall-E.
You did see quite a few this month! I really enjoyed Ratatouille and think Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead would be worth seeing for Phillip Seymour Hoffman alone – I think he’s a great actor.
The acting in Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead was superb. Of you like Hoffman you should check it out.
Gosh I’ve got to put I Want to Marry Ryan Banks and the Answer Man on my Netflix list.
Ryan Banks was cute – nothing too serious about it. But you do get to watch Bradley Cooper, which is a plus.
Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead is one I’ve been curious about. I may have to add that one to my list.
It was good, but don’t expect to be uplifted.
The Truth About Charlie I thought was a horrible remake of Charade. Ratatouille was just really funny. I’m a big fan of all things Pixar. And the others haven’t seen…never wanted to for Stepbrothers, though. Good to know I’m backed up on how lame it is! Great reviews, Stacy!
I didn’t think of it as a remake of Charade, interesting. As for Stepbrothers, Will Farrell was funny for a total of…well, he wasn’t funny at all AND I saw his private parts which I did not enjoy!
I haven’t seen any of those – except for about 15 minutes of Swing Vote – which you are right, seemed surprisingly not that bad.
I just added Before The Devil Knows You’re Dead to our Netflix queue – sounds like a good cast.
Let me know what you think about Before the Devil Knows Your Dead. It’s told in a very interesting way and the acting is great.
Ratatouille: Top movie when granddaughter was three. She laughed so much we laughed at her. Something about the rats hiding under the hat and other places just tickled her.
I hope the rats aren’t cooking the food when we go to France!
Ratatouille: My 15-year-old son’s favorite movie of all time.
Clash of the Titans – Best mediocre movie I’ve ever seen!
I need to see the original Clash of the Titans to compare.
I still haven’t watched Clash of the Titans… I love your 5-word movie reviews!
Hope you like it!
I laughed out with your 5 words on Step Brother. I thought it was incredibly stupid but my 15 year-old loves it…boys go figure!!
I think you have to be a boy to appreciate it. If there is anything to appreciate 😉
I’ve not seen those movies on your list, except Ratatouille and Clash of the Titans (the original movie released in 1981). I hope to catch the latest one on DVD.
I need to see the original Titans!
The only one of these I’ve seen is Ratatouille. Who knew rats were cute?
It’s true! Never thought I’d feel compassion for a rat 🙂
HAHA! Love your review of Stepbrothers. I’ll avoid that one!!!
And I really really liked “Before the Devil Knows Your Dead.” You never really hear about it but I wish it had gotten more attention.
Stepbrothers didn’t even deserve a fifth word 🙂 I think Before the Devil Knows Your Dead is overlooked too, so I;m glad that a few commenters will be checking it out.
OMG What was up with Stepbrother? Who wanted to see that? It had to be the hubby 🙂
I would watch the Ugly Truth just for Butler, and the rest I’ll wait until cable. Good amount of movies to watch though.
Ratatouille: Least-favorite Pixar. Kinda boring.
The Truth About Charlie: Mediocre mystery, mediocre Mark Wahlberg.
Step-Brothers: Hated it. Ridiculous and unfunny.
The Answer Man: Mediocre movie but interesting storyline.
Clash of the Titans: Same movie but different names.
