Movie Review

OK, I went to see the new Twilight movie (the day it came out, but at least I'm catching up, right), and I liked it. I had to take it for what it is, but I liked it. The book was really good, so of course, the movie doesn't compare, but if you look at it by itself, its good. I was able to get Luc to go along with me. I felt it needed more of the build up scenes to fill in a lot of the gaps and it was missing a lot of the background to explain the parts they did show. It was all the intense scenes crammed together, but without all the "fluff" they didn't seem as intense. Luc thought it needed more violence :) Men. It had a couple really cheesy parts I could have done without, but all in all, I give it 3 out of 5 stars. My SIL Candace said it gets a lot better the more you watch it. Ill try again :)

Marie Antoinette

This was one of the worst movies I have EVER seen. They put 80s music to a period piece and didn't really tell a story. It could have been done so much better. I know people are trying to make movies that are new and different, but every time a song came on my stomach turned and I really had a hard time taking the movie seriously. I understand that the 80s was a time of excess and laziness and so was Marie's story, but come on! None of the scenes flowed together well, no one even tried to use a foreign accent unless they already had one and Molly Shannon! Seriously! Seeing her in this movie just made me roll my eyes. So out of character. Using foreign actors would have been at least a good start to fixing this disaster. They also didn't tell the entire story. I was expecting a dramatic ending, but NO, nothing, it just ends. The costumes were the one saving grace of the film. They were beautiful.
