“When I was a kid, I could see a movie AND get popcorn for a quarter.”
Now, I don’t know if that’s entirely true, but my dad was a kid in the ’50s. And I heard this refrain every freakin’ time we went to the theater.

Opens July 30, 2010 | Runtime: 1 hr. 50 min.
PG-13 for sequences of crude and sexual content, some partial nudity and language and sexual content
Steve Carell and Paul Rudd, together again (they were both in The 40 Year Old Virgin and Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.) This could either be really really funny or really really stupid. Sorry, I have to go for it:
This movie is Schmucking Funny!!

Despicable Me
In Entertainment - Movie Review by Pam@IW on Friday, July 16th, 2010
Opened July 9, 2010 | Runtime: 1 hr. 35 min.
PG rude humor and mild action
When I saw the first trailer for this movie over a year ago, it was a scene with an insanely obnoxious (and all too typical) American tourist family in Egypt and a giant inflatable pyramid. And I remember thinking What.The.Heck?! It didn’t really make any sense. Then finally around January another trailer, this one with Gru (Steve Carell – the main “villain”) trying to invade another villain’s Fortress of Evil (that looked like it was Bill Gates’ summer home) and a shark. Which didn’t fit in at all with the previous trailer and left me wondering if the filmmakers had decided to scrap the first idea and go in a completely different direction. That would also explain why it was taking so darn long to finally be released!

Sex and the City 2

By Jennie
Sex and the City 2 was released this past Friday, and has apparently taken the second spot at the weekend box office, after Shrek Forever After. I’m glad SATC2 has been released, if only because maybe now I won’t have to hear about it any more.

The Blind Side
In Movie Review by Samantha on Wednesday, November 25th, 2009
Written by Tiffany
Opened November 20, 2009 | Runtime: 2 hr. 6 min.
PG-13: one scene involving brief violence, drug and sexual references
Bring an extra large box of Kleenex, this is definitely a three hanky experience.
This is based on the true story of Michael Oher. Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw play Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy, a wealthy southern couple who take in the homeless black teen. Kathy Bates is exceptional (as always) as his tutor.

2012 – Who Will Survive?
In Entertainment - Movies by Pam@IW on Sunday, November 15th, 2009
By Tiffany
Opened November 13, 2009 | Runtime: 2 hr. 38 min.
PG-13: intense disaster sequences and some language
Well, I think we’ve watched enough disaster movies to have a pretty good idea of who survives. Though there are some surprises in that aspect too. But they have to be right. That’s part of the whole disaster end-of-world movie making formula. And yes, the writers/producers/directors followed that formula. The reason for that is quite simple: it works. Armeggedon, Deep Impact, The Day After Tomorrow – they all built on each other in magnitude and scope, but they all follow the same basic blueprint.

Amelia – Does it soar or crash and burn?
In Entertainment - Movies by Pam@IW on Sunday, November 1st, 2009
Written by Tiffany
Opened: October 23, 2009 | Runtime: 1 hr. 51 min.
PG: some sensuality, language, thematic elements and smoking.
The one thing I think everyone agrees on: Hilary Swank is a dead ringer for Amelia Earhart (no pun intended!) I mean, WOW! It’s almost eerie (and so appropriate for it’s pre-Halloween release!) I suppose she sounds just like her too, not that I am an expert on Amelia Earhart’s speech and dialect.

Motherhood
In Entertainment - Movies by Pam@IW on Sunday, October 25th, 2009
Written by Tiffany
Opened October 23, 2009 | Runtime:1 hr. 30 min.
PG-13: language, sexual references and a brief drug comment
Motherhood is a slice of life movie. It chronicles a day in the life of Eliza Welch (played by Uma Thurman), a stay-at-home mother of two and writer of the mommy-blog “The Bjorn Identity” (why didn’t I think of that?!) It starts with Eliza waking in the still dark morning, shuffling out of bed, checking on her still sleeping children, snapping a picture of her daughter, making a cup of coffee, and sitting down in her office to write her blog. Hmm… I don’t know about you, but switch out the coffee for tea (and “office” for my bed) and that describes my morning to a T.

What’s a director to do when the big, shocking climax of the movie is already known by everyone who’d want to see it?
