Monsters University

First there was "Monsters Inc".

I was never really interested in seeing it (and can actually not remember how it led to me seeing it) but I was pleasantly surprised after watching it. It was sweet, quirky and had a life lesson or two hidden in there. So when I saw that "Monsters University" (the sequel but actual prelude to "Monsters Inc") was being released, I was looking forward to see it. The trailer looked good and I enjoyed the first one. My expectations weren't extremely high but I was looking forward to being entertained as I was with "Monsters Inc". So one afternoon, my boyfriend and I went for a drive and decided to go see "Monsters University".

And what did I think of it? I was UTTERLY disappointed!! I found myself very bored at some stages (I even considered leaving a few times), it had only one good laugh in there and it was long! My boyfriend was so bored, he fell asleep for 10mins! I would not recommend this to anyone. Maybe kids will like it but it is unfortunately not worth seeing at the cinema. The only one positive thing I can say about it is that it was "cool" to see how Mike and Sully met and eventually started work at Monsters Inc.

Despicable Me 1 & 2

We all know them by now... the little yellow minions with their goggles and blue overalls. And we love them (admit it)! 

I first saw "Despicable Me" in 2010 and really loved it. It was the first time ever that I watched a movie in 3D but that didn't impress me much. 98% of my "movie satisfaction" was due to the movie itself. It was funny, it was sad, it just had everything a movie has to have! Even the happy ending :) 

So, when I saw that "Despicable Me 2" was going to be released this year, I was happy immediately and just had to see it at the "big screen". Even though my boyfriend did not see the first one, he took me out to see the second one. And oh man! It was even better than the first!! I just couldn't stop laughing (my stomach muscles ached). Do any of you have a favorite scene?? Mine was definitely the "fireman" scene *beedo beedo beedo*

PS I love you (follow up)

So, we just finished watching the movie. It is a beautiful story and it definitely pulls at your heart strings the way Gerry helps Holly to move on and get over his passing away. BUT, she irritated me SO much with her rudeness and self pity. Would I recommend this to anyone? Sure thing (especially if you are into romance films). What did y'all think of it??

The Heat

I saw the preview of "The Heat" a month or so ago and thought that it would be worth the watch. And that it was! I saw this "chick flick" also with my boyfriend and thoroughly enjoyed it. Sandra Bullock is brilliant as ever and Melissa McCarthy...well acted! I first saw Melissa McCarthy as Sookie in "Gilmore Girls", where she played the sweet business partner to Lorelai. In this movie she plays a dedicated but "bad ass" detective. I find the roles quite opposite to each other but she plays them both equally well and it somehow feels like she steals the limelight from Bullock. The movie does have a high level of swearing but that does not take away from the storyline and entertainment level. This one is definitely also worth the watch. Let me know what you think of it??

You Again

Last night I was lying on the couch while my boyfriend was playing games on his computer. I wanted to do something so I suggested to him we watch a movie together. I made chocolate mousse in the morning and thought it would be nice if we shared the bowl of mousse while watching the movie. I looked on Netflix and found "You again" (NEVER heard of it before). We settled in on the couch, I grabbed the mousse from the fridge and he pressed "play". I expected what I usually expect from RomComs: light entertainment with a happy ending. But, I was pleasantly surprised! The comedy was better than I expected and it seemed like even my boyfriend was entertained. So, if you haven't seen it before, do yourself a favor and rent it. It's worth the watch.

PS I love you

So, for years I have heard people talk about how good the movie "PS I love you" is but I have never gotten as far as actually watching it. My boyfriend offered to watch a "chick flick" with me tonight, so I decided to grab the chance and chose "PS I love you" to watch. Will let you know what I think of it :)
Laters!
