What Jane Austen heroine are you?
Yea, Stacy, it begiins again! The only movie I’ve seen here is Skyfall. Here’s my take: Love that Bond, even aging.
I swear, better movies on the way~
I’ve only seen Skyfall. My hubby is interested in Zero Dark Thirty. I don’t care that Daniel is a bit older he is still handsomly ripped! Bond is lean, mean, but tender.
Okay, Nise, I’m taking 5 of your last 6 words! 🙂
Skyfall: Home Alone only spy style.
In Time: It needed a time out.
Larry Crowne: Had potential…but fizzled out.
I plan on seeing Zero Dark Thirty soon, so I’ll come back for that one later🙂
Love Skyfall review!!!
In Time: Inventive, sad, long, but enjoyable
I can’t believe I found two other bloggers who have seen In Time!
I haven’t seen any of these. I need to get with it. LOL
OMG I don’t think I could do this! Too much to say about some of them. We LOVED Skyfall and Zero Dark Thirty. The other ones appeared to be a waste of my time.
Sandy, I expect you to add your 5 words on a rainy day! It’s for charity🙂
Oh no, I haven’t seen any of these.
The Sitter: Before Jonah Hill lost weight.😉
Larry Crown: Julia and Tom had chemistry.
SKYFALL: Javier, most interesting villain around!
I love these movie reviews…Skyfall is the only one that I want to watch.
Skyfall ~ Daniel Craig hottest Bond ever
bahaha loved your review of A Thousand Words🙂
I really want to watch movies and stay up to date with the rest of the world but never can seem to find a couple of hours (or a partner to watch with)! Love this series though!
Love your Zero Dark Thirty take … though a B????!!!!!🙂
My 5 words would be: Intense Provocative Intelligent Modern Conversation
And I’m mad I missed the Bond movie.
What a brilliant idea for reviews
Skyfall – Possibly the best Bond ever
Zero Dark Thirty – Great production zero emotional connection
In Time – Fabulous idea but rubbish film
These are so fun!
Larry Crown – love the actors, not movie
In Time – neat idea, but glad DVD
Need a Sitter? – obnoxiously funny, OK on DVD
