My Movie Reviews: Country Strong
http://tawniamovies.blogspot.com/2011/04/country-strong.html
Sunday, April 10, 2011. I went into this movie- much like her Glee episodes- skeptical that Gwyneth Paltrow could sing. While not Grammy worthy, I found her (and Leighton Meester for that matter) not only believable but curiously easy on the ears. The easy on the eyes award (like that transition? If you like country music, you'll like this movie.and its soundtrack. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Girl Who Played With Fire. I Love You Phillip Morris. Http:/ iamtawnia.blogspot.com.

My Movie Reviews: May 2011
http://tawniamovies.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 16, 2011. I don't have too many but I did think the movie was a little too long for a comedy. I also thought Maya Rudolph was a miscast as the bride. I love the chemistry that her and Wiig have (especially during the Wilson Phillips number) but I found myself wanting her to be more outrageous like she was on SNL. See this movie if you like to laugh. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Http:/ iamtawnia.blogspot.com. Awesome Inc. template. Powered by Blogger.

My Movie Reviews: The King's Speech
http://tawniamovies.blogspot.com/2011/04/kings-speech.html
Thursday, April 21, 2011. Everyone loves a good underdog story (cue the Rudy chant) and this one is definitely unique. It was odd rooting for an adult to "sound out his words" but Colin Firth was terrific. I would have given him the Oscar too because Lord knows it can't be easy to carry a stutter the length of a film let alone listen to yourself for that long. The rest of us will watch Rudy.

My Movie Reviews: April 2011
http://tawniamovies.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 27, 2011. I don't know why Portman's home life had to be so messed up. The ballet is competitive, she has no friends, her dance instructor is a creep- it's enough to make a girl lose her mind. Why add that she lives in a shit box apartment with a mom who paints creepy pictures of her and sleeps by her bedside in a room filled with an uncomfortable amount of stuffed animals? Add to that the crazy amount of scenes where Portman's hands, feet or back were bleeding? It was overkill for me.

My Movie Reviews: Hereafter
http://tawniamovies.blogspot.com/2011/04/hereafter.html
Saturday, April 16, 2011. The movie starts on a high note. It's split into three separate plot lines and you're immediately invested in each unique story. You want to know how Matt Damon's character will deal with a debilitating gift, how Cecile De France's character will cope with a near death experience and how a young boy will recover after a devastating death in his family. The only way to truly enjoy this movie is to mock it to death. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Girl Who Played With Fire.

My Movie Reviews: Gulliver's Travels
http://tawniamovies.blogspot.com/2011/04/gullivers-travels.html
Tuesday, April 12, 2011. The movie tried entirely too hard to be funny. I felt like 80% of its punchlines could have been followed by the "buh-dum-ch" sound effect. I didn't expect much of a plot, hell I've ignored the plot in most Jack Black movies because his facial expressions and comedic delivery are usually enough, but this one couldn't be ignored. And I don't even want to discuss the movie's ending dance sequence! Jack Black, if you're listening, this is your mulligan. The Girl Who Played With Fire.

Friday, April 8, 2011. The Girl Who Played With Fire. The casting of the Noomi Rapace as Lisbeth Salandar is dead on- if you've seen the first movie (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) then this should be no surprise. Anyone who's read the books will also be pleased to know that this movie- much like the first- follows the plot nearly scene for scene; line for line. See it only if you've read the books and can't wait for the American version. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Girl Who Played With Fire.
