In the Mood for Movies

Here are the following films I want to see on the big screen this year (2011)! (In random order. *All dates are subject to change)

The King's Speech (2010) starring Colin Firth , Helena Bonham Carter, Geoffrey Rush, Jennifer Ehle    Watch the trailer below (source: trailers )  I just saw The King's Speech recently and I must say It was a terrific film. I've been wanting to see it since I first heard about it and I've been following its casting, production, and filming status as I love period movies especially historical and royal monarchies. There's something about those royals and time period/eras that always piqued my interest. They fascinate me and I've always enjoyed watching them. So, when I heard about this film, I knew I wanted to see it.

Tangled (2010) starring (voices by): Mandy Moore , Zachary Levi , Donna Murphy Watch the trailer below!   (source: trailers ) I was pleasantly surprised how great, fun, entertaining, and enjoyable Tangled (aka Rapunzel), the latest Disney animated film was when I saw it last Thanksgiving. It's been a while since Disney made a Princess animated film (ie. Alladin , Mulan , Beauty and the Beast , Snow white , Cinderella , etc.) that was really, really good as Tangled and that everyone loved and enjoyed watching from younger kids to adults (basically the general audience). It's a fun and entertaining movie for the entire family.

You Again (2010) starring Kristen Bell, Jaime Lee Curtis ,  Betty White , Sigourney Weaver , Odette Yustman Watch the trailer (source: HDTVStream ) 

Secretariat (2010) starring Diane Lane , Dylan Walsh, John Malkovich Watch the trailer below (source: DisneyMovieTrailers )

Life As We Know It (2010) starring Katherine Heigl , Josh Duhamel , Josh Lucas Watch the trailer below   (source: hollywoodstreams ) I thought this was just an okay movie that's been done many times before. A typical romantic comedy and predictable too. I was disappointed because I expected it to be really good with Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel in the lead. They make such a cute couple and they didn't seem to bring more spark into this film. I guess I expected more or expected too much and I usually end up being disappointed. Still, I enjoyed watching this movie for what it was. There were some funny moments and some sad moments, as well as sexual tensions between Heigl and Duhamel's characters.The baby was cute and funny too. Overall, this movie was a nice, romantic comedy, family drama type of film. More of like a Hallmark kind of film. I think this was better to Netflix or rent this movie than to watch in theaters. Not that I thought it was worst nor ...

Wall Street: Money Never Sleep (2010) starring: Michael Douglas, Shia Lebeauf, Carey Mulligan      Watch the trailer below!   (source: FoxMovies ) I saw the first Wall Street movie once, ages ago, and I don't remember much other than I wasn't into it. I guess because at the time, I never understood the Wall Street money talk. This time around though I got to see it again because I wanted to see the sequel. I must admit, I did want to see it, all because of Carey Mulligan 's addition to the cast and her playing Winnie Gekko , daughter of Michael Douglas ' character Gordon Gekko , the antagonist of the first original film and this one too. Seeing the first movie was not too bad too at all. Michael Douglas was actually pretty good and deserving of his Oscar win . Seeing this sequel, It made sense about his character. Also, it was nice to see Carey Mulligan playing his estranged daughter. Even Shia LaBeauf was pretty good here too. Charlie Sheen...
