Okay, my lovely fans, I haven't posted in 8 days. I have finished the 50 Shades of Grey trilogy. Once again I love the books, but this is not what I want to post about tonight.
Over the last few days I have been watching some of the newer movies released onto DVD. I have watched This is 40, Parental Guidance, Preacher's Daughter, and just finished only minutes ago, Zero Dark Thirty. I will review in order listed.
This is 40 - Funny movie. If you want a comedy relief this definitely one to watch. Paul Rudd, Leslie Mann, even Melissa McCarthy is in it. Melissa doesn't have a big part, but she is very funny it this. Even her blopper at the end has you laughing on the floor.
Watching them argue was hilarious. Reminded me of my life, and I'm not even close to being 40 yet. I'm not even 30 yet. This movie is a must watch without kids, as it is rated R.
Parental Guidance - This movie will have you rolling on the floor in laughter through the whole movie. A movie about parents that over parent their kids to be kind of high achievers. Grandparents that raised their daughter in a less formal way, comes to take care of those children while parents are out of town. Funny to see those grandparents trying to do what the parents ask them to do with the children and not parent as they had years before. Coming to find that both ways can be effective if you follow through.
This movie for me shows how some people can do the over parenting and get it to work. They make kids follow a schedule to the "T" along with them getting good grades, attending private schools, having master instruments of some kind that is approved but parents. It also showed me that we can parent the same way our own parents parented us and still be effective.
I believe a parent should be there for their child in every aspect of their lives, but I don't believe in holding their hands for every little thing. Both my kids are independent and well behaved. I believe in spanking or swatting their behinds when it is something big, not beating them, but a smack or 2, no more. Some would say this is how your child learns to hit others, I say no, a child learns to do things from other kids either the same age or older. They look up to those that are around the same size as them. Maybe this movie can teacher parents that yes there are tons of ways to parent a child, no one parents the same so do not bash how another parent parents their child unless you know for sure those parents are abusing the child.
Preacher's Daughter - This movie I was not impressed with. It could be that I am not a religious person in the sense these people are in the movie. I follow a different religion, but my husband was told it was a good movie. So we rented it from the Redbox at our local rental place.
It follows a preacher's daughter, obviously, who ended up leaving her family and way of life behind. When she has to call home for help, and she moves back, it flashes back here and there to show how she ended up the way she had. Maybe if you are a religious family in the Christian faith this would be a good movie for you and your family, meaning older teens to sit with their parents and watch. There is drugs and bad language used to be forewarned.
Last but not least ...
Zero Dark Thirty - This movie is about the capture and killing of United States most wanted since the 9-11-01 attacks. I wouldn't say for me it was a great movie, at least not until the end part when they go in for the attack, but it was good. Following through to show what the people that are to be protecting the U.S. citizens, did to catch him. Maybe even just a thought of what might have happened, since we aren't really suppose to know what our government does for us. We only got the important part, which is that he was killed that night. I know for the safety of any and all Black Ops teams they can't give all away, but I would like to know more. As for the movie, it is a movie to go on the list to watch, but not a movie I would put on the top as a must definitely see.
Well I hope this makes up for not reading anything other than 50 Shades. I hope this gives you some ideas of movie to watch if you haven't already. Also, I rented all these movies from the Redbox. Thank you for reading.
