Welcome to Six Sentence Movie Thoughts.
Where I try to express my thoughts on recent movies
using only 6 sentences!!!!.
At the end of each review I will post a
rating scale of 1-5 .
Rating scale will be as follows:
5 Stars- You must watch this movie NOW!!
4 Stars- A great movie, put it on your TBW list.
3 Stars- Happy that I watched it...a good way to spend a few hours.
2 Stars- Just O.K but nothing to write home about.
One Day
~Reason for watching it: I have the book but just haven't made the time to get to it. Saw this at the library for $1.50 and figured why not.
I loved the concept of getting together every year on the same day and also the emotional turmoil Emma and Dexter experienced as their relationship changed and evolved. Even though much of it played out quite predictably, I still enjoyed the movie. I really want to read the book because I'm sure it will add a bit more depth to the story.
Rating: 3 Stars
One For the Money
~
Reason for watching it: I have been reading Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series forever. I had to see how it translated to film.
After watching this I can say that I accept Katherine Heigl as Stephanie and heck, I even liked who they picked for Joe Morelli. But, I totally can not accept who they cast as Ranger! Ranger needed to be larger than life, not a few inches taller than Stephanie. Other than that, I thought the movie was cute and not a terrible way to spend a couple of hours.
Rating: 3 Stars
The Vow
~ Reason for watching it: I thought it looked incredibly romantic and Channing Tatum is a hottie.
Who in the world wrote this piece of garbage??? OMG! I hated Paige after the accident...she was a cold-hearted person and treated Leo terribly. Yet, poor Leo kept hanging on and believing with time that she would love him again. I think the producers would have done better to stick with the true story instead of trying to put a modern (current time instead of the 1990's) twist on this stupid story. But I guess a couple with strong faith and values doesn't sell in Hollywood.

The Hunger Games
~ Reason for watching it: I loved the book and missed the movie when it was in the theater!
Wow!! My husband and I watched this one together and I was pleasantly surprised at how much he enjoyed it. Have to tell you that it really stirred up a great conversation between us and we were talking about this one well after it finished. The costumes were amazing and I thought it stayed fairly true to the book. This one was worth the $3.00 I spent on all four of the movies!
Rating: 4.5 Stars
