As a southern girl myself I was really excited to see this movie. It promised to be sweet, witty and funny. I was so sure that it would be because the trailer looked funny. I did go see it and have to admit that I was a little disappointed …
Sleepy Hollow (1999 Film)
Who can forget the legend of Sleepy Hollow? And after watching the 1999 film “Sleepy Hollow” starring Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci, the blood and gore of the film (and the headless horsemen of course) make it difficult to. Though this film was made in the 90’s, and technology …
1408 Movie

Obsessed the movie
I saw the Beyonce movie, Obessed, last night with my husband. It was honestly exactly what I expected. I didn’t expect something that would have me sitting on the edge of my seat, and it didn’t. The story line was fast moving and kept me interested, but it didn’t …

Funny People (2009) movie
I’m a huge fan of Judd Apatow films but I have to say this one missed the mark for me. It has a strong cast of comedy but the plot just never seemed to come together for me and it just seemed some what thrown together.

Holiday in Handcuffs (2007 Film)
“Holiday in Handcuffs” was a 2007 film that, while it was festive for the holiday season, it did not really wow me as I had hoped that it would. I don’t want to say that this film was a complete dud, and that I didn’t enjoy watching it, it …

Wall-E
