The Other Questions Linger: The Book of Eli Movie Review

Jennifer Busfield — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 01:04:04 +0100

First let me say, I am glad for guy friends. If not for my movie buddy, I would have been watching Valentine's Day or some such chick flick, wasting my time away with bon-bons. Instead, I had a list of 4 movies to choose from: The Book of Eli, Shutter Island, The Blind Side and From Paris with Love. The most chick of those flicks, I've already seen (The Blind Side). So, what's left? Not Shutter Island- I'm too&hRead More...

Armored

Stop!!!! If you are thinking about going to see this movie and it is raining stay at home and watch the rain. Believe me it will be far more entertaining.

Summary:

A crew of officers at an armored transport security firm risk their lives when they embark on the ultimate heist.against their own company. Armed with a seemingly fool-proof plan, the men plan on Read More...

Star Trek (2009): Movie Review

Jennifer Busfield — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 19:28:34 +0100

I first saw the 2009 movie release of Star Trek at the uber-fabulous Warren Theater in Moore, Oklahoma. As soon as it was done, I called my parents, the people who influenced me to become the sci-fi geek that I am today, and shouted into the receiver, "Oh my gosh, that was SO GOOD!!!"

It is not hard to believe after sharing a completely satisfying Thanksgiving dinner with these same two people, that Star TrekRead More...

Angels and Demons: Science vs. Religion

Jennifer Busfield — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 15:55:51 +0100

Let's chalk it up to it being a holiday week that I am spitting out the movie reviews like crazy.

Okay, let me cut to the chase- I CANNOT believe it was him! I was pulling for Patrick the entire time. It just makes me sick! His death wasn't so pleasant either.

I really enjoy the science vs. religion conversation- so the back and forth of the two points of view throughout the movie was very interestingRead More...

G.I. Joe: "Knowing is Half the Battle"

Jennifer Busfield — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 06:11:17 +0100

When you've got a good thing going, why stop it? This chica can keep the movie reviews rolling at a $1 a night via the Red Box. Tonight I was in the mood for action (giggles), so I picked up G.I. Joe.

I used to live with my cousins- both of them were boys. So, I was a tomboy by necessity: scraping my knees climbing trees, catching bugs, racing bikes, building forts and watching boy cartoons like G.I. Joe.

The Ugly Truth: "Thanks for coming tonight!"

Jennifer Busfield — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 04:42:15 +0100

Coming off a weekend of movie overload, you'd think I'd have had enough. Well, that's not the case. I was enjoying writing up my movie reviews for latest releases in the theater, I thought I would take a look at the recent releases in the rental world. That and going to the movies on a weeknight with a little kid in the house just isn't a reality for this mom.

So, I went to my favorite place to rent movies: The Red Read More...

The Blind Side: Movie Review

Jennifer Busfield — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 04:03:56 +0100

I had some free time last Sunday morning, and Alamance Crossings Carousel Cinemas offers an pre-matinee price for movies before 2pm. They call it the Early Bird, a $5.50 ticket. I can definitely handle that. Even this chica-on-a-budget can go see movies to her heart's content and write awesome movie reviews on that cheap ticket price.

I am a sucker for movies that have a circle plot: they start and end in Read More...

Planet 51: Make Sure Your Attenas Are Up

Jennifer Busfield — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 02:55:04 +0100

I caught the 11:10pm showing of Planet 51 at the Alamance Crossings Carousel Cinemas last Saturday night (I am a little behind on my movie reviews)- I don't think the Burlington population cares much for animation past 11pm at night. I was the only one in the theater- a rare treat. And perfect under the circumstances, because I got to kick my feet up and enjoy a steady flow of sincere giggles and chuckles (and eveRead More...

Law Abiding Citizen

James Ashe — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 17:00:28 +0100

2009 Movie Review

"Law Abiding Citizen," is an action packed edge of your seat thriller. Its very name is a complete contradiction to every character in the movie. The continuous action only takes a break to deliRead More...

Amelia: 2009 Movie Review

Jennifer Busfield — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 21:39:35 +0100

Went to the Regal Greensboro Grande Stadium 16 (NC) to catch a matinee showing of Amelia.

It really works in my favor that I didn't to my research before I went to the movie. Confession: I am sadly lacking in my historical knowledge of great American personalities. I mean, I knew that Amelia Earhart was an amazing pioneer of the woman's role in aviation; but I didn't know that she didn't survive her lastRead More...

2012: Whew! I'm glad that's over. I need a break!

Jennifer Busfield — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 04:27:28 +0100

Yep.

I am that moviegoer that will gasp audibly when something amazing/shocking happens on the big screen. Which means, that I was pretty loud throughout the entire movie; and my friends gave me grief.

I like to suspend belief while I watch a movie- pretend that it could really happen…sure it could.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Caleb Nance — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:44:22 +0100

So I just got done watching the midnight showing of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and it was a great movie. It was well worth the money in these harsh economic times :). I went into the movie with pretty high expectations. Liking all the past X-Men movies, and the role Hugh Jackman played in each, I knew that it would be a good movie. I was hoping for a great one and was satisfied.Read More...

Star Trek (2009)

Caleb Nance — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:31:56 +0100

I went to see this movie last night for the early showings. Evidently they had three showings of it before the actual release date so some of my friends were going to see it and I said what the heck might as well. Side note, there was no yoda in this one! Ha. I am a big Star Wars fan and had never seen any of the, probably twenty now, Star Trek movies. So I was a little skepticRead More...

New Moon: "You're kinda beautiful."

Jennifer Busfield — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:30:36 +0100

Bella said, “you’re kinda beautiful.”

And that’s exactly how I feel about New Moon- it was kinda great.

A few things you might want to know about me:

First: If I had the choice, I would be a vampire. I mean, really, just take a good look at my avatar.

Second: I supremely apRead More...

Terminator Salvation

Caleb Nance — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:26:47 +0100

Just saw the early showing of Terminator Salvation, and I was impressed with the movie. It tied into the other movies, and wasn't like a lot of other sequel movies that kinda touched base but then go into a whole other direction. This movie kept to the script and explained a lot, but also raised more questions and definitely a place for there to be another one!

The movie had great special Read More...

Angels and Demons

Caleb Nance — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:44:08 +0100

This movie was well cast and written. The only thing I did not like about this movie was the length. I mean it kept my attention the whole time, until the end, I was ready for it to end! I did like the whole scavenger hunt type of movie that it was, and liked how it made you want to solve the movie before it was revealed, it had a lot of twists and turns.

The acting and casRead More...

Year One Review

Caleb Nance — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:11:29 +0100

Year One looked really good in the previews, but it was very deceitful. I am bias I guess but it was very sacrilegious. It was a major turn off. It talked about the beginning of time, and how everything was, a parody of it. I mean not taking away the whole movie being bad. It was really funny at parts, and it was good acting. I am a fan of Jack Black and like his movies, but it just rRead More...

New Moon: Team Jacob or Team Edward

Jennifer Busfield — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:00:00 +0100

As the only female staff member of seeandtweet.com, I feel like it is my duty to bring attention to a major debate that began with the first installment of the Twilight Saga and that has exploded with installment two, New Moon.

Team Jacob or Team Edward

It's a tough call- I'll be the first to admit, at first glance, that choice seems almost impossible. But it is possible, and boils dowRead More...

Hangover movie lives up to expectations

Caleb Nance — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:00:00 +0100

I saw this movie with my friends the night it came out. I had high expectations for this movie because the trailer looked really funny. It did not let me down. It was great, funny and had a good story. Even Mike Tyson got in on the action in this movie, and the scenes he was in were great. Probably not the best movie to take kids to, at all actually. It is rated R fRead More...
