Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2

Is this going to be the movie in which he finally loses those glasses and gets contacts? Can't wait to find out...

Something Borrowed Review

What a splendidly unrealistic film! The whole ambiance of the movie is sensual. Lovely restaurants, great lighting, gorgeous people. What more does a movie need? I am a bit concerned that Ginnifer Goodwin is being type-cast as the girl with poor decorating taste. In He’s Just Not That Into You she had the frilly, little-girly type decorating style and I would have to say that in this movie her décor is only a smidgen better. Magnificent apartment with brick interior, nice kitchen (although the stove looked dated), pillars, lovely winding staircase with a nice roof-top area perfect for some sexy time. But sadly, too many florals and a criss-cross woven rocking chair? No thanks. I think a lawyer could afford nicer furnishings (or could hire a decorator at least). That apartment was a superb canvas left to be painted by an unskilled artist. Now for the other goods. My, my, my Colin Egglesfield. What a fabulous specimen. I love the look of a man in a suit and even more, the slightly undone tie that gives rise to, “Come help me undo this tie and…” Okay, focus. I have not seen him in any other movies so far, but will be keeping my eyes open. Ginnifer Goodwin is cute and lovely in contrast to the sexy, vixen character Darcy played by Kate Hudson. John Krasinski is charming and funny, but does not measure up in the eye candy department. This movie has much of what this blog feels is important for movie viewing. It gives me comfort to know that movies are still being made about girls who are supposedly the less-attractive type when really they are drop-dead gorgeous. Screw the realism of Indie films and long live the Hollywood beautiful 

Okay, this photo has nothing to do with the film, but it's just so fine.

The Hangover 2

Dazzling Bradley Cooper with his breathtaking blue eyes makes this movie.There is a scene in which I would be searching for a prescription pad with great fervor! Gorgeous lovely fire-lit lanterns floating in the sky also add to the film. However, for the most part, the movie went waaaaay to far. Also, if this film was in smell-o-vision you would be

The stunning Bradley Cooper

The Lincoln Lawyer

Okay, so for starters, too little footage of Matthew McConaughey without a shirt on. Really? Why is he in movies unless he is going to have his shirt off. Fairly interesting movie, however, at one point near the end of the film, Matthew’s character Mick Haller goes to the bathroom and does not wash his hands! Yuck! Even without your shirt on Matthew, this is NOT okay.

Academy Awards Predicitons - Best Picture

Black Swan I really liked the look of this movie. Great lighting, gorgeous dancers, handsome choreographer, beautiful dancing, fabulous dance studios. To an extent I would love to live in this movie. In another lifetime, I would love to be a ballet dancer. Now for the down sides of this movie – yucky skin peeling scenes, crazy mother, a bedroom filled with stuffed animals. Any movie that has stuffed animals in a fully-grown woman’s room cannot win an award. 

The Fighter Hot, sizzling Mark Wahlberg. He is fine enough to single-handedly inspire an Oscar win. However, the hideous homes, crack-house, stinky gym, creepy sisters and bad wardrobes all around. Sorry, no prize. 

Inception Great looking men in this movie (with the exception of the creeeeepy Cillian Murphy), however their haircuts were dreadful. No award.

The Kids Are All Right I liked this movie, but I was very disappointed in the look of Julianne Moore and Annette Bening – too realistic. They did, however, have a gorgeous house and an immaculate bathroom. Mark Ruffalo is what tips the scale though. He is NOT an attractive man and destroys any chance of this movie being the winner.

127 Hours I am a fan of James Franco. The movie was a true inspiration. I liked the scenery in the canyon. But, deserts are hot and dusty. I see nothing beautiful in cutting off your own arm, and I did not enjoy the urine-drinking scenes. Sorry, no Oscar.

Toy Story 3 The three-eyed aliens are cute. I have no desire to live in an animated world. No award.

True Grit A western. I won’t see it. No prize. 

The Social Network I did enjoy the lighting in this movie. I would want to live in this movie as long as I could avoid all of the technology geeks. This, however, seems unavoidable so I have to 

say no trophy.

Winter’s Bone This movie is surrounded with an aura of misery. It does not look remotely nice to look at and I know I would not want to live in it. I won’t see it any time soon. No thank you and no award.

The King’s Speech I always love a gorgeous period piece. This movie was beautiful to look at in many senses. And, of course, the dashing Colin Firth. I would love to live in this movie and give some speech therapy to Colin using highly unconventional methods. This is my 2011 Academy Award prediction for Best Picture.

The Rite Review

Bella, bella Italia! Once again, Italy delivers on the spectacular filming locations. Cobblestone roads, marble pillars, and classic architecture. The lighting in this film is quite pleasant. I could have done without the mortuary scenes, not very pleasing to view, but I suppose essential for plot lines. Father Lucas’ (Anthony Hopkins) home does not look very appealing and looks like it would smell absolutely revolting. However, with much cleaning and some renovating could be a great place to live. Much can be said for lead actor Colin O’Donoghue. His breath-taking blue eyes are offset by his dark locks. I have to say he looks really fine with his Roman collar as well. Must be something about that whole “unavailable” thing. All I can say is that if he were my priest, I would be at church every Sunday. I have to say he is pretty much the only eye-candy in this movie. Anthony Hopkins-creeeeepy. And sorry boys - not really a lot of attractive ladies in this film. However, Alice Braga does have a sexy, sultry voice. I would love an opportunity to live in Rome for two months to study exorcism. The demonic possession, however, no thank you. It is certainly not good for the soul and does terrible things to the skin and spine.

Mmm-mmm...

Forgive me, Father...but

you are HOT!
