Wow! I saw a lot of movies this month. And some good ones too 🙂
Add your 5 words (or less!) to mine and earn $1 for charity. Once we get to $100 the person with the most reviews will choose the charity. Click here to see the past winners, the charities they chose and the other reviews you can add to. Anyone is welcome to join in at any time.
I hope that you will take a few minutes to participate when you can each month. It’s fun for me and for everyone else who reads it. I’m not looking for a critical review, just a few words about how you felt about the movie. This is ongoing so you can leave your 5 words anytime.
We’re up to $50

Stacy's Books 
Austenland: Slapstick, cheesy comedy with romance! (I liked the movie a lot better than the book!)
Lorax: Cute and fun. Save trees!
Winter’s Bone: Acting amazing…story so sad.
Lucy looks really creepy. Guess I’ll pass on this one!
You might like it. I think it’s a love or hate thing.
Austenland: I want who she got. 🙂
Winter’s Bone: Better on second time watching.
Lucy: Mind-blowing – really makes you think.
Side note: You didn’t like Lucy? I really liked it!
I didn’t like Lucy, but there were parts that were okay and I wasn’t bored! I was shocked that my husband didn’t like it either. I think it must be a love or hate thing,
Have not seen these movies, but do want to watch Austenland.
Oh, you will love it!
I haven’t seen any of these but I did see the trailer for Lucy and thought it looked very odd.
I’m actually the one who suggested that we see it! Disappointing.
Ha!! We saw a preview for Lucy recently and Scott thought it looked AWESOME. Meh–I think you’ve confirmed what I thought. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed Just Go With It, though!
I was a little embarrassed by how much I thought that Just Go With It didn’t suck 😉
I haven’t seen any of these, but would like to see a few of them. I think this “5 words” charity thing is awesome!!
Is it bad that I’m glad you didn’t like Lucy either? Haha! I wish now I’d gone and seen Sex Tape like I originally planned.
Lucy and Sex Tapes are on at the movies here now … I really wanted to see Lucy but a friend said it was *crud* lol. Same friend loved Sex Tape … hmm
The Lorax – total cuteness, go the trees!
I wish there was a real Austenland too. I would so be there!
Lucy – Not expected storyline – kinda ‘meh’.
