Sunshine Cleaning

I was sooooooo excited to see this movie. I loved it, but not without a lot of heartache. But the end made everything all better so it was totally worth it!I love love love these two and they were the #1 reason I wanted to see this movie!
The #2 reason was the clever story line. It was interesting and even informational at times (who knew you can't just put bodily fluids in the dumpster?!?!) If you like seeing movies that are different--unlike any you've ever seen before, then you will probably like this movie. It has a little bit of everything--my favorite parts were the family relations--they were funny and dysfunctional and weird but in the end, they really love each other and came through for each other.
I loved it and left with a smile on my face!

Duplicity

I was sooooooo excited for this movie and I liked it, but not as much as I wanted to. It was kind of all over the place--but in general I did like it. There were a few scenes filmed in Italy (bonus) and I thought to topic was hilarious. *Spoiler: and I can't remember who but someone did comment to me that it was so hilarious that they were fighting over something as ridiculous as hair! Well I actually thought that was pretty ingenious--and it truly would be an AMAZING discovery!!! Maybe it's the hairdresser in me but that truly is an amazing find!
Anyway I saw this and bought it w/out thinking twice....still haven't read it but I'm sure it's a great article. :) Truthfully, this is the number one reason this movie was good....
...this photo explains why Clive has been on my top ten, and will be on my top ten for a very long time!

Taken

This movie was sooooooo good! I loved it for the following reasons:
  • It was exciting in an unexpected way--not super typical as far as thriller-type movies go.
  • It covered such an interesting topic--horrifying--but interesting at the same time.
  • It was filmed in Paris (at least some of it was).
  • Liam Neeson was awesome!


Pretty much everyone has seen it by now so I'm gonna give a soiler right now.....I LOVED THE ENDING! I've heard some others say they thought it was cheesy that daddy took his daughter to meet Sheerah--but I totally loved it! It was so cool how that connection worked out and what an awesome dream that would be for an aspiring singer!

Although this movie made me a little sick to my stomach at times, it didn't deter me from wanting to travel. Mostly I just wonder how people that do that kind of stuff can live with themselves! I thought it was interesting and fun in a very mainstream sort of way--meaning most people would like it!
