Movies review

I thought I share some of the movies I've seen throughout the weekend with you all. most of them are kind of old and you might seen them already, but just in case you didn't.
===================================
The Nanny Diaries

What can I say? LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!

A true story about parenting; a must see movie to all parents and the ones who are thinking of starting a family, because no matter who successful the parents are, they should really take care of their children. What the point of having them If they relayed on day cares or Nannies (if they can afford them). My mother did her Masters and PHD while raising 6 children.

Like in the movie, parenting isn’t bragging about perfection in cloths, schools, or wealth; it is about how to raise the child to self respect, individual identity, courage, and many of the good personality aspects.

I love the concept of using the umbrella that resembles Mary Poppins. I also loved the beginning of the movie when Scarlett Johansson visits the Museum of Natural History and explains the dioramas showing lifelike models of Upper East Side natives seen in their natural habitats. The search of the true individual identity. Who AM I? and what DO I HAVE TO OFFER THE WORLD?
Scarlett Johansson did a good job in this movie, as she did in most of the movies I saw for her; Laura Linney was right for her part.
I loved the entertainment comedy drama with a moral behind it, which made it a memorable movie.
I usually read the book before the movie and I end up ruin the movie, but in this case I saw the movie first (well I didn’t know about the book) and loved it and now I can look forward to read the book.
===================================
Over Her Dead Body

Is to romantic comedy; I never heard about it, therefore I thought it will be kind of freaky, scary movie.

Although I wished Ashley ends up with Dan, but good he ended up dating Chloe.

I don’t believe in ghosts and the closure they need to do for themselves or their loved ones in-order to go to the light.

I loved it, because of the silliness comedy, romance, and drama. I can see why the reviews and credits can split in two ways; you can either like/love it or hate it with some of Not bad/ok.

In the beginning of the movie when Eva Longoria starts as a bridezilla on her wedding day, reminded me of my self during the preparation of my wedding.

I loved the last part of the movie when Ashley sat next to Kate in Church seeking her blessings.
Also, I loved the part when Kate goes to the white room; hilarious. I can see Eva Longoria stuck in the stereotype Desperate Housewives gave her.
==================================
Mama's Boy

I hated the movie. I couldn’t believe Diane Keaton did this movie. Although it had some scenes, but I won’t recommend watching it.

John Heder is always playing retarded idiot geek character and so as Anna Faris.

John lives in his parents’ house for 29 years until his mom starts to date and he doesn’t like the change of the routine of their lives. A mother who hides the fact that she is dating of her son??? Who is the adult in this relationship???
==================================
Music Within

"Music Within" brings us the true story and inspiring of Richard Pimentel. An awareness of a noble cause needed back then and nowadays. Movies with similar message is needed.

A story of a hero on behalf of countless others, who couldn’t take decades of struggle, decades of rejection, decades of streets that couldn't be crossed, stairs that couldn't be climbed, houses that couldn't be lived in and customers who couldn't be bothered any more. Talked on behalf of people that wanted to be noticed, to be appreciated; basically the right to live.

Michael Sheen did a great job acting as Art with CP; so as Ron Livingston as Richard.
==================================
Sydney White

Check flick movie. I don’t like that kind of movies specially that deals with sorority life. There were parts that I enjoyed it, but it was so predictable and I wasn’t expecting much out of it.

There were some lessons and morals that we need to learn, like that individuality, the importance of family, self worth and fighting for the believes and right to be.

I liked the part Matthew Long sings for Amanda in the library and presenting her with roses.
But I think Amanda Bynes is stuck in this stereotype role.
==================================
Bobby

Story and facts well combined and written, that was very moving and powerful, Casts well chosen and acted, well directed, and good visuals specially in using real footage of the presidential campaign.

It is a must see movie, I really enjoyed Bobby’s speeches, because of the honesty and truly. A realty makes each one of us wondering how the states will become if he had lived to be the president of the USA; a compassionate and generous nation.

Although the movie is named bobby, but it was mostly about an era that been stopped before it started; about the change of history; about the lives it has touched and changed. It is a movie full of good morals and lessons that we all can relate to and use.

It was a history movie; a documentary, that was light to digest, which is needed for us young generation.

I couldn’t believe that Sharon Stone was part of it; I had my doubts until it was confirmed to me by the website.
==================================
Charlie Wilson's War

I enjoy a movie based on true story and /or facts or have knowledge to pass on.

In this case it is Charlie Wilson and his rule to support the cold war in Afghanistan.

I just noticed that in the past 2 months all I read and watched is related to Afghanistan. The Kite Runner (the book and movie), Charlie Wilson's War, A Thousand Splendid Suns and enjoyed watching/reading them; They were an eye opener to so many things.

Charlie Wilson’s war was well written, directed and casted. It is great because it has so many factors: Documentary, Comedy with a pinch of Romance.
==================================
License to wed

Although I’ve seen so many romantic comedy movies and which some how the same, but I enjoyed License to wed.
What made me see it in the first place is of course Robin Williams and John Krasinski from the office. Wanting to see how could he make it in a movie.
It was fun with some morals on the meaning of marriage and how could each couple maintain one.
No mater what Hollywood does for romantic comedy movies, is always predictable. I would love to see one that will swoop me from my feet and surprise me.
So many reviews says it is a bad movie, not comedy and that the story could’ve ended from the start to go to another church and get married their instead of taking the course.
But I liked the concept or the idea of it, because so many couples rush to marry without knowing each other well, therefore the divorce rate is so high every where in the world.
It might be worth it for those who like to go to the theaters and enjoy pr
==================================
Lars and the Real Girl
Hmm, interesting movie in a bad way. Although it was deadly boring in the first 40 minutes, but it started to pick up little bit when all the people in town started to take care and interested about the doll Lars ordered via internet. I almost wanted to turn off the dvd. The only think I liked of the movie, and I believe that what the moral of it, is the concept of caring, loving, support, and union.
