"What to Expect When You're Expecting" Review

I know it's been a while but some medical emergencies have kept me away from my reviewing for at least the past four to six weeks. All things aside, I absolutely adored this movie! This movie stars Elizabeth Banks, J-Lo, Cameron Diaz, Brooklyn Decker, and Anna Kendrick.

This movie chronicles all of the things you read about in the book mostly known by expecting mothers and fathers "What to Expect When You're Expecting." And it does it well and had me laughing the whole way through. Now, in the essence of time and having to get dinner on the table I won't give out any spoilers, but I will say this. This movie was one of the best comedies I've seen in a while.

That means a lot coming from me since I don't really don't watch too many comedies and mostly stick to the action and horror genres with some sci-fi and fantasy, but this movie was fantastic. I have actually watched it a few more times since I initially watched it. This is a movie every woman should cuddle up on the couch with their man (if you have one) and watch. I'm sure you'd enjoy it.

"Snow White and the Huntsman" Review

I know there has been a lot of controversy surrounding this film and because of the whole KStew cheating scandal, but to be honest I don't really care about it. For me, the film should not have to suffer because someone screwed up. So, for those of you who won't watch this film because it has "her" in it then you're definitely missing out.

As we all know, this starts Kristin Stewart as Snow White, Charlize Theron as the evil queen, and Chris Hemsworth as the Huntsman. It follows the basic fairy tale of snow white with a slight and very dark twist, which I'm going to go ahead and say I thoroughly enjoyed. Now, for those people who don't think Kristin Stewart can't act worth a damn, well, I just have to say (and I say this because it is my true opinion as well as some other people I know) she is a fantastic actress.

Now, trust me, I know she wasn't all that great when it came to the "Twilight" saga, but every other movie she's been in she has been absolutely fabulous. In this she shows such range that you would think she actually felt these things and she had become her character.

As always, Charlize Theron's performance was nothing short of perfect. To me, she plays the best evil queen to date. And well, who doesn't love Chris Hemsworth who I have come lovingly to refer to as "Thor," for those of you who have seen it but are unsure of what his name is. I think this movie was pull of superb acting, very good visual effects, and a story line that I have genuinely come to enjoy watching unfold.

Did I expect the story of Snow White to take such a dark turn? I can honestly say no. But I have to say this version is the best by far. The darkness of what most would call a whimsical story had me captivated the whole time I was watching it in a packed movie theater. Now that it's out on DVD and BluRay I have to take at least one time a week to watch it, and the soundtrack is a perfect fit. Especially the song titled "Breath of Life" by Florence and the Machine which shows in the credits.

I honestly don't care what public opinion of Kristin Stewart is and I know ever since the "Twilight" movies she has become wildly unpopular and said to be a horrible actress who shows absolutely no emotion. I have enjoyed pretty much every performance of hers and I see her as full of range and talent that is going unappreciated. But I saw a rising star in her when she starred in "Panic Room" with beloved Jodie Foster and I still see her that way. Just because you don't approve of what happened between her and directors Rupert Sanders, doesn't mean you should miss out on such an extraordinary film, and anyone who uses it as an excuse not to indulge and watch it, well, shame shame.

"Resident Evil: Retribution" Review

I will be the first to admit I am a HUGE "Resident Evil" addict. I played a few of the video games, just like most teenagers who had nothing else to do. This movie, just like all the others in the franchise, stars Milla Jovovich as Alice a.k.a. Project Alice. It takes off where the last film ended and as all of you can tell some key characters from past films have made a come back, but because I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, I won't tell you how .

Now, I hate to break it to you guys but this review won't be nearly as long as the others seeing as I suffered a black widow bite and have been quite ill as a result. I have a few more movies I've seen since that I have yet to write about.

Anyways, in this movie you'll see one of the beloved characters from the games make her first appearance in the films.  To disappoint you all though I will have to be completely honest. While the movie was actually really good as was the soundtrack and the action sequences, the franchise could have done without this one. To me, and my boyfriend who went and saw this with me, it was what we are going to coin it as a "filler movie." Good, but not necessary to the plot and could've been done as part of a more essential movie to the franchise and not a whole movie.

Unfortunately this is all I really have to say about it, but not because that was my full opinion, but because I am just way to exhausted to continue typing. If you do end up seeing it though remember that just because it was a "filler movie" doesn't mean it wasn't a good movie. Just not necessary.

"The Hunger Games" Review

I know it's been a while since I have posted a new review and I figured why not review one of my recent favorites to hit DVD. This movie stars Jennifer Lawrence playing Katniss Everdeen and Josh Hutcherson playing Peeta Mallark as two teens who are thrust into a fight to the death. It is set in a Dystopian society in the future where there are twelve districts and each year, a young man and woman from the ages of twelve and eighteen are drawn to participate in The Hunger Games.

This movie struck a chord in me since I can see our present society turning into something similar. Now, I've heard a lot of people saying Suzanne Summers copied a Japanese movie named "Battle Royale," and seeing how this isn't a very well known film here in America I would have to disagree. There are marked differences in each. I have actually seen "Battle Royale," and I have to be honest, both it and "The Hunger Games" were very good.

I have been a fan of Dystopian literature since I read the famed "1984" in high school. I felt the characters and plot were very well developed. Casting couldn't have been more perfect. I heard a lot of people saying they were iffy about Lenny Kravitz playing Cinna, but I felt his performance was outstanding. Since I actually read the books I felt the casting choices were, like I said, perfect. Woody Harrelson as Haymitch was one of my favorites, but seeing as I'm a huge Woody Harrelson fan I don't think he can do wrong.

As you can all see I have nothing but positive things to say about this film, so this review won't be long. If you want a movie that is rich and full of loveable characters than this is the movie for you. It also helps that it will make you think about the current world position and helps you to speculate about what the future will truly be like for our country. I high suggest this film, and I hope everyone who reads this enjoys it just as much as I did.

"The Apparition" Review

"The Apparition" begins with a couple who is haunted by an entity that is conjured during a college experiment. The college experiment goes wrong and one of the people involved goes missing. This movie stars Ashley Greene as the slightly naive, but supportive girlfriend named Kelly who's boyfriend Ben (played by Sebastian Stan) was involved in the original experiment. He had never told her until things went from bad to worse. His friend Patrick (played by Tom Felton), comes into the picture as the proprietor of the experiment and tries to help as much as he can since he is also haunted by this entity.

Now, I am a huge horror movie fan. Especially when it comes to ghosts, and from the trailer I was expecting it to be a very good movie, but I changed my mind halfway through. The movie was slow and predictable, along with somewhat cheesy writing and (even though I do love this woman as an actress) Ashley Greene's acting was almost as bad as the movie itself. I found myself extremely bored even at the movie's "scariest" parts.

When you watch the trailer you expect an excellent example of an excellently written horror movie, but all of the best parts were in the trailer which left nothing else to the imagination. My boy friend even said the best part of the movie was Ashley Greene in a neglige, and to be honest, I would have to agree with him. Sebastian Stan's acting was much better, and I'll admit I am a huge fan from when he starred in "The Covenant." Tom Felton's acting was also on the same level, but I have to admit I liked him since he co-starred in the Harry Potter films.

There were some things about this movie I liked, but that was few and far between. And to avoid spoilers I won't go into any detail about them. Really though, if you want a terrifying movie that will have you jumping, screaming, and sitting on the edge of your seat this is not the movie for you. To be completely honest, I was yawning through the whole thing, and walked out very disappointed.

"Ted" Review

I went and saw "Ted" last night and I have to tell you guys I could not stop laughing. Every moment there was a smart ass comment by either Ted, the commenter, or Mark Wahlberg's character John. This movie has come from the mind of the creator of some of the shows we have come to love like "Family Guy" and "American Dad." Which, I can honestly say, I would watch all the time if I had cable.

This movie starts off with a wish made by a young John Bennett (Mark Wahlberg), who makes a Christmas wish for his teddy bear to come to life so they could be friends forever. Upon waking the next morning he finds is teddy bear is alive. He than names him Ted (Seth Macfarlane). The next time we see these two they are all grown up and still together. Hilariously smoking weed on the couch watching "Flash Gordon." I couldn't stop laughing while the bear was saying how weak it was and that he needed to call his buyer while John was already high off of a few hits.

Lori Collins (Mila Kunis) is John's girlfriend whom he has been dating for four years. It is apparent to begin with that she really needs John to make a change. Mostly to grow up and  stop depending on his bear for companionship. She then gives him an ultimatum to either get rid of Ted, or she goes. I was definitely taken aback by the scene of Ted fornicating with a girl who works at the local grocery store and I quickly recovered enough to let out a loud chuckle.

Pretty much every aspect of this movie was absolutely ridiculous considering it's hard to take a teddy bear smoking weed, partying, and with the mouth of a sailor seriously even when it's in a very serious situation. But this movie was in no way stupid. It was funny. Very funny.

Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis did a great job as always and Seth Macfarlane is a great writer and voice actor. The thing I love about it is that it makes fun of everyone. Not just a set group, which is what I think i appreciate most from his shows. If you want non-stop laughs this is definitely the movie to see and when it comes out on DVD I will definitely be adding it to my collection.

"Total Recall" Review





I will start my review of the new "Total Recall" by saying this. This is a new brand of Arnold Schwarzenegger remake. Basically meaning, a brand new animal that is almost nothing like the original, but nonetheless, any die hard "Total Recall" fan will still love this movie. Which is basically exactly what my significant other told me about halfway through the movie.

It stars Colin Ferrall as Doug Quaid who his married to a woman named Lori played by the gorgeous Kate Beckinsale. Doug is troubled by horrible dreams of his capture which, according to memory, has never happened. The dream is always the same and he is always accompanied by the same woman. He visits Rekall, a spa-like atmosphere where any memory you want will be booted directly into your brain, unless this memory is already there. He begins to suspect he is a spy when he is checked for the memory and it is already there and locked away, changing everything. On the run from the authorities he runs into the woman from his dreams, Melina, played by Jessica Biel.

Like I said, this is absolutely almost nothing like it's original counterpart. While the basic premise of the movie is exactly the same, so many aspects of it are completely different. For instance, besides the three breasted woman from what I can best describe from The Colony's "red light district" there are no mutants and we aren't given any hints as to her origin. The action is non-stop and leaves you on the edge of your seat.

Honestly, I have never seen the original, but I took the time to check out at least the preview for it and this is how I figured out how different the two movies actually were. The remake is geared more a 21st century audience, not lending much to its origins. I was even half expecting a cameo from the Governator himself, but seeing as he's still governor of California that wasn't going to happen. I can definitely say I was very happy to see Bryan Cranston as Cohaagen and Bill Nighy as Mathias.

The graphics and technologies in this film were amazing and the writing was so much better then the original. For me, the most fascinating part of it was "The Fall." It was the transport system between The Colony (Australia) and The Federation of Britain that went all the way through the Earth.

I will definitely say this, Ferrall, Biel, and Beckinsale did not dissapoint. I can definitely tell you though that ever since Kate Beckinsale has been in the "Underworld" movies it's hard for me to see her any other way and we kept making "Underworld" references. As always, these three actor's performance was fantastic.

I will go ahead and repeat what I originally said about it. Any die hard "Total Recall" fans will love it no matter how different it is from the original. Anyone who loves a post-apocalyptic sci-fi action/thriller will love this movie, which is why I guess I have become a huge fan.

"Sucker Punch" Review

Yes, I am aware this movie has been out for a year, but it is one of my absolute favorites and I figured why not let everyone know what I think of it. It begins with a young girl and her sister, whose mother has just passed away. We don't know how she died. They're mother leaves them everything she has in her will, leaving their abusive step father with nothing. In his attempt to kill them both, Babydoll (Emily Browning), the older sister, accidentally shoots her little sister, killing her instantly. Her step father brings her to a mental hospital where Babydoll envisions a plan to escape, while her therapist Dr. Vera Groski helps her to survive and to fight back from her pain.

This cast is made up of a mixed group of characters. Sweet Pea (Abbie Cornish), the one who is protective of her sister Rocket (Jena Malone) and is skeptical of Babydoll and her escape plan. Rocket instantly accepts her into the group. The other girls who are a part of this plan of escape are Blondie (Vanessa Hudgens) and Amber (Jamie Chung).

I've heard some people say they think that the action in this movie was just thrown in there for the sake of having action, but I beg to differ. To me, and I'm sure a lot of other people out there, they could see that this is her attempt to build her own world inside of her mind to cope. Which I thought was pretty obvious. The action scenes are incredible and the girls are thrust into these situations that no one would think five girls could beat.

Fortunately for me I am not the only person in my household that loves this movie. I can even get my two year old nephew to sit down and watch it and he doesn't move the whole time. My one year old nephew loves the music. And I will admit, the soundtrack was also amazing. The special effects were very well put together and the writing was impeccable. I don't think this movie could've been done any better.

When I watched this I couldn't help but think I wished I had some of their outfits and weaponry. A few of the girls even reminded me of myself in some way, which I think is very important in a story. I think everyone should be able to see some part of themselves in the characters and be able to relate. These girls each had very different personalities that I felt represent the many facets of a single person that you can't help but relate to all of the characters in some way. The action scenes were very well choreographed and I envied a lot of their moves.

There wasn't a single thing I hated about this movie, but I do know a few that said it was "stupid." Now, when I hear that I can't help but think that when people watch a movie with this much depth that they are actually watching the movie as it was intended. You actually have to think and be in this fight with the girls in your mind to full understand it and I think some personal experience in when it comes to envisioning your own world where anything is possible to help you cope with life is important to being able to love this movie and fully understand what it all means.

"Zombie Strippers" Review

 I know I promised everyone a review on "Ted" last weekend, but illness kept me at home. So, please don't hold that against me.

I watched this a week and a half ago. but decided I really wanted to share my thoughts on "Zombie Strippers." Yes, it's a B-flick, but I really enjoyed it. A company starts working on a re-animation chemo-virus in a small town in Nebraska, The virus leaks and ends up in an underground strip club own by Ian, played by Robert Englund. The virus spreads, turning the strippers into "Super Zombie Strippers." Their main attraction Kat, played by famous porn star Jenna Jameson, is the first to be turned and strippers that are zombies turn into the new "fad." Her fellow strippers struggle on whether or not to conform to this fad.

Yes, like I said, this is a complete B-flick and is not a movie to be taken seriously. It had me laughing at some of the more cheesy moments and definitely loving the concept. And yeah, a porn star in an actual movie sounds like a bad idea, but Jenna Jameson did a great job at playing the stripper with an attitude. Robert Englund's character Ian os obviously an extreme germaphobe and is always carrying around a can of what I can best guess is an antibacterial spray that he just has to spray when someone comes near him or touches him. Especially his beloved stripper gang who he exploits when the zombie virus is spreading amongst them.

For this being a B-movie I was actually surprised by the special effects work. It was remarkable for being a low-budget film. The writing is a little cheesy in some areas, but what do you expect in a movie like this? I know I was expecting to hate it considering most low-budget films I've watched I hated, but I actually enjoyed it. This is definitely worth a sit down and if you have a boyfriend or husband who frequents strip clubs and isn't home much because of this then you should definitely sit him down to watch this. Than maybe he'll think twice about going into the champagne room.

"Dead Season" Review

I have decided that today is going to be a rare treat. Two reviews in one day as I will be seeing "Ted" later tonight. I am still in the process of watching "Dead Season," which I can best describe as a B-movie knock off of popular AMC show "The Walking Dead." This movie stars James C. Burns as Kurt Conrad, Scott Peat as Elvis, and Marrissa Merrill as Tweeter.

This movie takes place after a viral outbreak that leads to a zombie plague where two survivors, Elvis and Tweeter, flee America and end up on what they assume is a deserted island. Not too long after they come upon the island they are greeted by a hoard of zombies followed by men with guns who save their lives.

Elvis and Tweeter's highly uncooperative nature when it comes to the people who saved them from certain death seems unfounded to me, as well as how quickly they are welcomed into the group. The house on the island where they congregate is too neatly kept, but what did I expect from a B-movie really?

As far as I can tell a lot of people who rated this on IMDB feel the same way I do about it. It was rated a 4.3 which I would have to agree with. Story line is inconsistent and way to cheesy for my taste. The acting seemed alright for the first ten minutes of the movie but the farther along it goes the worse it gets. The camera work is shotty at best. The characters in this are too willing to use a gun to solve their problems and an old woman with a broken leg is met with scrutiny even though it is obvious she hasn't been bitten.

The familiar term of Walker is used to describe the undead just like in the beloved show "The Walking Dead," which I will admit I'm a fan. The characters aren't as complex as you'd expect from supposedly good writing, which I would think would be the reason they got funding for this movie to begin with. Well, I don't see it.

I will be completely honest here. The action had no rhyme or reason and there was no suspense at all. I think we've all come to expect those three very important things from other zombie movies. I couldn't continue to watch this movie because of sheer boredom and a just out right horrible movie that I had to stop watching after the first fifteen minutes and began to write this review. To anyone who doesn't want to feel like they wasted an hour and twenty-five minutes of their lives watching this movie, don't waste your time.

"The Dark Knight Rises" Review


Now, everyone I know it's late, but I just got home from seeing "The Dark Knight Rises." I also know that the recent events that took place opening night have scared a lot of people away from movie theaters and all I can say is that this is definitely worth seeing. Not trying to be insensitive, but this is the kind of thing that would usually scare me but after all of this and a lot of thinking I decided I wouldn't let a homicidal manic keep me from enjoying my life as much as possible and I was going to go see this movie. Also...I'm a HUGE Batman fan.

In all fairness I know it's hard to sit through a movie that's almost three hours long, but if we all could make it through every single Harry Potter movie then we can sit through another Batman flick. Of course, this stars Christian Bale as the billionaire Bruce Wayne a.k.a. Batman who protects the fictional Gotham City from evildoers. Michael Kaine still takes his rightful place as Alfred, where he will forever hold my heart. I am aware that a lot of people were iffy about Anne Hathaway playing Cat Woman a.k.a. Selina Kyle, and I'll admit I was as well no matter how much I absolutely adore this woman. Bane is played by Tom Hardy, and of course, Gary Oldman continues to play the famous Commissioner Gordon.

As far as the plot for "The Dark Knight Rises" goes, the most basic way I can put it without giving away too much seeing as it's opening weekend is that Bruce Wayne has been out of the game for eight years when Bane (renowned terrorist and mercenary) comes into the picture, promising revolution through terror in Gotham City, completely overwhelming the local police force. Bruce Wayne, even though it wasn't easy, decides to become Batman once again to save his fair city he had fought to protect for so long. During his eight year "vacation" his company had been seriously neglected and he loses everything except his gorgeous home.

But, of course, as Bruce Wayne always does. He falls into the clutches of yet another woman, as well as Cat Woman. One thing I can definitely say about this trilogy is that the bad guys are what I can best describe as based in reality. Bane wasn't a science experiment gone wrong like in the original, but an injured man who needed the mask to be able to function. Cat Woman wasn't a woman brought back to life by her cat, but was a very talented cat burglar who wanted a fresh start and a clean slate. I have to say I really do appreciate the "realness" of the characters and their complexity, and the actors and actresses in this movie have really outdone themselves. This was one of the best performances I have seen in a long time.

Now, I will admit this. A few parts of the story seemed to drag on just a little bit for me, but I do feel in some stories it is necessary to be able to give you the complex characters that we all come to know and love. "T.D.K.R." was no different. The length of time they took to make sure we knew these characters was well used and even though I felt it was a little slow in some areas I wasn't disappointed. There were no holes in the story begging to be filled. Everything we needed to know was there, and there was even a slight twist to indulge in our curiosities.

From one human being to another though, I would definitely say that anyone who really wants to see something they think, as well as I do, that they would thoroughly enjoy that this is worth the time and the slight amount of anxiety anyone may have at stepping into a movie theater right now. I know it's tough when you have so much fear in you that you can't even go out and enjoy something as simple as a movie. But one thing I learned from going out and doing it myself is that we can't let anyone dictate how we live our lives and we can't let anyone keep us from enjoying the simple things in life that make it more tolerable.

"Friends WIth Kids" Review

Well, I have now watched this movie twice and, yes, I still really enjoy it. This movie is based in New York. The movie, of course, is "Friends With Kids," as is obvious by the poster I have posted above, which I'll be doing with every review.

This comedy stars Adam Scott as the egotistical womanizer named Jason Fryman, and Jennifer Westfeldt as Julie Keller who can never seem to get past the second date no matter now much she wants a relationship to work. Their friends are all in long term relationships, which kind of makes them the outcasts of the group (and we've all felt this at some point). Leslie (Maya Rudolph) and Alex (Chris O'Dowd) are the loving couple who are thrilled to announce their pregnancy. Missy (Kristen Wigg) and Ben (Jon Hamm) are the couple who can't seem to keep their hands off of each other. Jason and Julie both have disdain for people who bring their children to high-end restaurants, which I would agree with as far as a place like the Four Seasons goes, but not when it comes to your local McDonald's.

After about 4 years they see how having children has effected their friend's relationships and make a pact.They decide to have a child together while only remaining friends so they can avoid the toll having kids have on romantic relationships. I found this hilarious for two reasons.
1. This kind of thing would never work because of that bond two people have when they have a child, which is unavoidable;
2. To me, if you are willing to have sex with someone, there must be some kind of feelings there to begin with that would keep you commited to this kind of arrangement.

I was surprised to see that throughout this whole film Jason is 100% committed to her and their son and is actually great with children. While Julie falls apart because she can't get him to stop crying, Jason flies in and saves the day (well night considering she wakes him up in the middle of the night to come help her).  Their friends talk about how Jason and Julie didn't realize how hard having a child would be, but when they walk into Julie's apartment it's clean and beautiful, the baby is quiet, and Julie had even made quiche. Also, they are extremely happy.

The amazement  and shock is written all over their faces and I couldn't stop laughing during their visit. I know, when my sister had both of her boys that their house had boxes of diapers and bags of wipes all over the place. The house definitely wasn't what it used to be. During this visit though it is completely obvious that Jason and Julie have some chemistry, but it was something they are both choosing to ignore without even realizing it.

Now, because I am trying my best to avoid a complete spoiler I will only say that Jason meets Mary Jane (Megan Fox) and Julie meets Kurt (Edward Burns). Considering it's a parenting comedy with some romance mixed in it's completely obvious where it is going as soon as they make their pact.

On IMDB the rating was a 6.2 which, for me, I'd have to say should be a little bit higher. While it's not 10 star material by any means, the movie had me laughing and ooohing and awwing as everything unfolded. I definitely have to say Adam Scott and Jennifer Westfeldt did a great job. Their acting was definitely believable and if you forget it's just a movie you'd believe these people were actually living this life.

Now, I noticed this within the first few minutes of the movie, that most of the cast in the movie were also in "Bridesmaids" together. This had me remembering parts of that movie and laughing when I'd see certain actors like Maya Rudolph or Kristen Wigg. Kristen Wigg is always good for a laugh, but surprisingly she didn't do anything memorable besides her phenomenal break down when we realize her and Ben's relationship is obviously failing. Now, that does hit home for me since I have experienced this myself so I was almost in tears watching that.

As far as re-watching this movie, I would watch it again. It's not a movie I would watch all the time, but definitely one I would pop in on those nights where you want a semi-romantic comedy along with a pint of ice cream and a wine cooler. So, I am going to go ahead and admit that's exactly what I did the first time I watched it. "Friends With Kids" is a great movie to sit down with your beau and watch, and since it has something in it for everyone, he will enjoy it too.

Jennifer Westfeldt is witty and definitely a wonderful writer, seeing as how she directed and wrote this film. It shows us all that no one can escape when it comes to what children can do to even the most healthy of romantic relationships. I couldn't have done it better myself.

Announcing My First Review!

Hello, all!

 My name is Kindra and I am new to this blog thing, but I figured I could take a stab at it. I will soon be posting my first movie review and I am extremely excited about it. All I can hope is that I don't leave anything out when it comes to any movie or book I will watch or read in the future. I'm hoping everyone feels they can count on my opinion as someone who is constantly reading books and watching movies. This will work for me, especially when it comes to a book that has been turned into a movie.

For anyone who would actually like to get to know me at least a little bit before I start on  my journey as a "critic" of sorts I am a 24 year old unemployed college graduate. Yup, graduate. Anyone who knows me will tell you that I bitch about this all the time. I have a degree in Abnormal Psychology that, so far, has done me no good, but then again, it's an associate's so what did I really expect?

I live in South Carolina, but am originally from Los Angeles. Why make such a move one would ask? And, trust me, I have been asked this quite a bit. Divorce, custody battle, and then a huge move 7 years later just about sums that up so I won't dwell on that too much. Went through tons of hell in high school, but I think I'm a better person for it. At least 5 failed relationships. The most recent being the second worst, where my first ever relationship takes the number one spot.

At least I can say that one thing I flourished in  in High School was English (secondly art, thirdly psychology). Hence, this is why I decided to start a blog. It just happens to pertain to two of my passions, literature and film. Which is why I hope I can help you enjoy these things just as much as I do.

My first movie review will be posted very, very soon and I have already chosen which movie I will be reviewing. I watched this movie the other night and really enjoyed it, and I hope I can help you entice you to watch it so you can enjoy it just as much. I will be sharing that with everyone hopefully by tomorrow night. I'm shooting for tomorrow afternoon to tell everyone the truth.

If anyone has any suggestions for any book or movie they would like for me to review I will be taking suggestions by email, which is kmkrbook2012@gmail.com.Please do not hesitate to write me.

Not only do I plan on this being entertaining, but also useful. If there's anything I can't stand it would be useless places, things, or people. Thanks guys for reading my first EVER post on my blog and I hope you will continue to do so.

For all of you who are wondering which movie I will be reviewing first I'll tell you. I will be reviewing "Friends with Kids." For anyone who has seen it already, please try to avoid spoilers in any comments because I will be trying to do the same in the review.
