It was a slow movie month for me, but I’m guessing most of you have seen at least one of these.
Every time you add 5 words of your own to one of these reviews then you donate $1 to charity. What charity, you ask? The charity is chosen by the person who has the most reviews once we reach 100. (Last charity here)
We’re starting with a clean slate this week. You can add reviews to any of my past movie posts here.

Let’s see for The Secret Life of Bees I’d say: Great casting does book justice. It’s been so long since I saw Down with Love I can’t remember enough about it to come up with anything. I haven’t decided if I’ll go see One for the Money or not.
I’m sorry sweetie but I haven’t seen any of these movies 😦
OK, I’ve only seen The Secret Life of Bees. My thought: Amazing group of talented women
The Secret Life of Bees: Movie great, book even better.
I haven’t seen the other ones.
Dwon with Love: Doris and Rock modernized tribute!
The Secret Life of Bees was touching, amazing with the perfect cast that pulled this off. I think the book and movie are both top notch.
I have not seen any of these!
Loved secret life…excellent movie and fave book. The other two I have not watched!
One for the money – oh no say it isnt so. I was so looking forward to the movie dammit. Oh well might have to be a wait till its on dvd movie then. Not that I have much time to go to the movies anyway (except for last month when inlaws babysat for us a couple of times so we could go yay).
Life of bees – never saw, might have to check it out.
Down with love – wow havent seen this movie in ages. Flash from the past lol Cant even remember what happened it was that memorable.
I loved the Secret Life of Bees, one of the best movies ever.
Secret Life of Bees is one of my favorite books and movies. I also gave One For the Money a C+. What hurt it for me was this: Casting of Grandma and Ranger was WRONG.
