Red Widow (2013)
Very intriguing!
I was "held hostage" to this premiere of Red Widow for the whole 2 hours! It will be one show I will be watching every week as long as it is on! Hopefully it will remain on the air. Seems as though every new show I get involved in is cancelled - maybe this one will make it even tho the ratings on IMDb do not reflect my opinion.
This show is about a married woman with a family, who was not aware of the depth her husband was involved in with the Mob and is left with a debt that has to be paid back after her husband is brutally murdered or there will be consequences to her and her family. She has relatives involved in the Mob and she goes to them for advice.
The Hunger Games (2012)
Strange
This movie is obviously aimed at a generation that is much younger than I am.
I should have read up on what the movie was about before I watched it, I guess. Although I did ask my granddaughter if she had seen it. She said she had read the book and liked it better then the movie, but didn't go in to much detail about the movie.
It was kind of an intense, on the edge of your seat movie and the acting was good, but it was just not my kind of movie.
I did like Taylor Swift and the Civil Wars singing while the credits ran at the end.
Journey 2: The Mysterious Island (2012)
Wonderful in 3D!
My husband and I watched this movie tonight on our 3D television and it was AMAZING! The 3-D effects were the best I've seen so far. Even better than Titanic!! I liked the plot in the movie because it reminded me of other "quest" movies that I have enjoyed in the past. Namely, the Indiana Jones movies. Michael Caine and Dwayne Johnson were great The scenery was beautiful and in 3D it was like you were there with them! It is a good family movie and I saw nothing that suggested anything other than a good family entertaining movie.
I noticed some of the people who wrote reviews did not seem to care for it, but I gave it a "10" and was happy to do so!
Dark Shadows (2012)
Terrible! Terrible! Terrible!
As a person who watched Dark Shadows in the beginning when it first was on TV it was a great disappointment to watch this movie. Maybe it would have been okay if I had not seen the original shows but watching this adaptation made me cringe!
Johnny Depp and Michelle Pheiffer should have known better if they had ever really became involved in the original show.
Makes me wonder what Jonathan Frid and other people in the original show really thought of this movie.
My daughter saw it at the theater (got in free) and she said she was so glad she didn't pay to see this nonsense!
Johnny Depp has always been a favorite actor of mine especially his "Pirates" movies, but after this debacle I will be very leery of him and any future movies!
Titanic (1997)
A great movie!
I watched this movie tonight in the Blu-ray 3-D version! I thought it was a wonderful movie! I have seen the original version at the theater and have watched it several times on TV. I think it is one of the most heart wrenching movies I have ever seen. I loved the music, the actors, and the story-line. The 3-D version is the BEST in my opinion.
I ordered the 3-D version from AMAZON several weeks ago and waited impatiently for it in the mail. When it arrived today I could hardly wait to watch it on my 3-D TV!
I thought Kate Winslet, Leonard DiCaprio and others did an amazing job.
I looked at the era this was set in and thought about my own Dad who would have been in his mid-20's at that time and how a catastrophe like the sinking of a ship like the Titanic might have affected the people of that era.
Great movie!
The Ten Commandments (1956)
I loved this movie!
I was 16 years old in 1956 when this movie was made. I don't remember how many times I've seen this movie over the years, but I was super impressed tonight.
People today find it hard to believe there were movies made during that era that had these graphics and sound effects! I think maybe the redoing of them with Dolby sound and other effects make them more interesting to watch.
I enjoyed seeing Charlton Heston, Yul Brenner, Yvonne DeCarlo and all the other actors when they were young. Most of them have probably passed on.
This is truly a masterpiece! Wonder if they will ever remake it in 3d!
