Prince of Persia, it cost money to see this?

Oh wait! I've seen this movie its called The Mummy! No? Ok, then its called National Treasure! No again? Ok, how about Indiana Jones Temple of Doom! No? Lost Arc?

I swear I've seen this before.....hhhhmmm *light bulb going off

Got it! Its because this has BEEN DONE BEFORE AND FAR BETTER THAN THIS!

Starting my actual review now, Prince of Persia directed by Mike Newell and staring Jake Gyllenhaal (jill-en-hall) as our hunky eye candy Dastan, Gemma Arterton (who could double as Data's sister from STTNG) as Princess Tamina, and Sir Ben Kingsley (not sure if I can forgive you for this on Ben) as Nizam.

I would like to take this time to point out that so far all these characters are of Caucasian decent, and 2 out of the 3 talk in this movie as in real life, with an English accent. I mean was this all Hollywood could come up with? Are we as a nation that afraid of seeing middle eastern actors on screen in the US? A debate for another day perhaps but for now, lets all say together...P-E-R-S-I-A. Say it with me now, come on guys, PERSIA. :)

I think the powers at be decided it would be a really swell idea to raid a halloween superstore! (ok I am totally guilty of that too) Throw a bunch of half-rate low budget wigs on these actors and just call it a day. Look now their Persian! I can hear it now, "Hey just pull out those cheap wigs for these guys Tom and get this movie made baby! Now action!"

Stunts in this movie were so freakin corny I was cracking up non stop, and the hits just kept coming. I mean of course every time you need an exact length of rope to jump off a roof while escaping the bad guys, it just happens to be there. I mean duh.

Jake, baby, your hot but honey your not that hot. I didn't buy any of it. No deal. Your acting sucked and your stunts were even worse. Was that really the best accent you could come up with? Give it up to your stunt double though. Just you stand there and look pretty sweetie. Smile and wave boys, just smile and wave. :)

Gemma, why don't you ever have facial expressions? Is it a medical issue? Come on. This was the same character from Clash of The Titans (which also sucked) and I am just not feeling it. Give me some depth in your work, be an actress. Believe you can fly! Believe you can touch the sky! *dang now i want to hear that song.

Alfred Molina played the character of Sheik Amar, a bad rip off of Jake Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean. Sorry dude you just cant fill those shoes, Johnny's got it on lock!

Green Screen. Man on man this movie was over the top with the green screen action, you couldn't even pretend it was real. Fake and fake and shake and bake. And I have so seen this set at Epcot in Florida, walked thorough it in fact. Glad to know Disney spared no expense on this one. Ata-boy.

If by now your still unsure about my review let me spell it out, this movie bombed the big one. Pass it up and watch The Mummy, at least Brandon Fraiser is funny. Sorry you had to pay for this one V, I got you next time.

Shades of Midnight

Shades of Midnight by Lara Adrian is book number 7 in her latest addition to the Midnight Breed series.

This story takes you on the journey of Kade and Alex, taking place in the Alaskan wilderness. **Howling at the moon Wolf Wolf!

Kade, our hunky vamp for this story, is sent from Boston to investigate some strange murders on humans in the wilderness. Expecting to wrap up his trip in a few days, he runs into a few unexpected problems along the way. Cause it just wouldn't be a good story without them.

Alexandra a local pilot (who wears to much flannel for me) makes a stunning first impression on Kade that adds a new set of issues to his mission. Twists and turns throughout this book keep you engaged in the story. But be warned you may really want to own a snow mobil afterword.

Lara Adrian is fast becoming one of my new favorite authors to read. JOYGASM!

She keeps each story fresh with new plot twists and introduction of new villeins. Great character dialog and realistic situations (yeah yeah vamps aren't real....or so you think!) add to the reading pleasure of this book.

Some sexy men who know how to treat a lady are a MAJOR plus in my book and these men do not disappoint. Lets get warm and cozy by the fire in my log cabin! :)

This book was super fun and I recommend it to all who like this genre. Thanks Amber for the missing link to this series, I would be lost without you. :)

Just Wright, um yeah I dont think so.

Just Wright, directed by Sanaa Hamri and staring Queen Latifah and Common is in theaters now across the nation. One word sums this movie up, Predictable.

Queen Latifah (love you girl) plays a physical therapist who helps a young NBA star (Common) recover from a potential career ending injury. He falls for her god-sister, who is money hungry and shallow beyond words. But when Mr. NBA gets hurt guess what, money hungry cuts out leaving Queen to clean up the mess. Sale at Bergdorf!

Of course over the months of his therapy, chemistry between the two starts to develop and things get hot and heavy between them. ba chicka wa-wa!

Queen is that natural down to earth, real girl but once he is all healed up oh so trashy comes back into the picture wanting a second chance with him. Will he pick the down to earth girl or the hott money hungry chick??

Come on its Queen! No movie would ever have her losing out to the competition! Unfortunately this movie is not based on real life situations, and thats a sad truth. Its nice to think that would be the case but.....not likely.

This film is jam packed with NBA starts from across the board, basketball fans enjoy. :)

Aside from the predictable story line, Common did a poor acting job in this film. A lot of one liners but no real emotion or depth shown in his character. Its as if he did the film to hang out with the NBA stars......but hey I cant blame him for that.

Predictable movie with fairytale ending, watch ESPN instead.

Megan Fox gets cut! Oh thank you!!!!!

I am the first to admit I have never nor will I ever be a fan of Megan Fox in any capacity. I am so freakin thrilled she finally got the boot from the Transformers franchise! Oh happy day!!!!

There are some mixed reports as to why she got cut, her saying of course "It was my decision to quit" uh huh sureeee we all believe that. A multi billion dollar franchise and you just wanna up and quit? Yeah the Harry Potter kids feel that same way, oh thats right they don't!

Some reports say the director Michael Bay cut her out of the next flick "do to critical comments she made about the film". Sum it up....I don't care what she said I am just happy she is gone. :) Men hate me all you want for this one!

She cant act at all, no personality, she brings nothing to these films other then a "hollywood body". And come on did anyone really believe she knew what she was talking about looking at Bumblebees engine? Ummm no. **I roll my eyes every time I see this part.

And than in the second one she works at a bad boy (no pun intended) motorcycle shop?! Are you kidding me? It was just too much for me. Maybe if she was a believable actress I would find something I could be ok with, but the fact is she is not.

She tainted these films in my eyes and I love my Transformers, and Michael Bay, just my opinion of course boo me if you want to! Bye Bye Megan!!!!!! :) bo-yay

MacGruber takes it there......

MacGruber directed by Jorma Taccone hit theaters today with a bang! Has anyone seen where I put my C-4?

If you have lived in a bat cave for the last couple years and have no clue what this is about, then really thats your loss. Based on a reoccurring skit from the amazing SNL on NBC, MacGruber is a comedy parody based on the 1980's hit tv show MacGyver. Mullets Rock!

This film stars SNL actors Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph and Will Forte along with Ryan Phillippe and the amazing Val Kilmer.

I was very impressed with the first 15 minutes of this movie, your classic 80's inspired action movies were tapped into and it was hysterical. The music fantastic, the cloths and set design are right on, the Miata....superb! After the first portion the film started to fall off a bit for me and did not pick up steam again until the last 15 minutes. I am so a 3 wire woman.

Some guest appearances from various actors where a surprise especially WWE star "The Big Show", and wow did not see that one coming! Overall the film was so so, I really wanted to see the movie bang it out better then what was delivered. I love this skit so much and really felt it was lacking in many areas.

But again there are some defiant high points to the movie, plenty of raunchy comedy for you all with a sick sense of humor. (Hey I am NOT the only one!) The faint of heart may not want to see this film. Also men if your not secure in yourself be warned, as in the skit the MacGruber character has bisexual tendencies. :)

So go see it, hit a matinee or even better make someone else pay! Its funny but ya get what ya get.
