Grease Sing- Along Movie Review

Posted by Crystal Booker on July 30, 2010

The most fun you will have at a movie! Want to spice up a musical classic? Add a sing-along. Grease is a musical known and loved all over the world. It’s about going from teenager to adult and falling in love. Some songs are hot and energetic while others can bring a tear. You will feel every emotion as you watch Danny and Sandy played by John Travolta and Olivia Newton John and Rizzo and Canicki played by Stockard Channing and Jeff Conaway fall in love. This movie takes you through their ups and downs with electric dance numbers and wonderful songs. This movie has it all! The experience of having everyone in the movie singing to the songs is so much fun. A chorus of voices can be heard from every side of the theatre with young and old joining together in song. What a rush! The amazing part is everyone knows all the songs!

The words to your favorite songs larger than life on the big screen infused with funny images that glide over each verse. All of your favorite songs like “Summer Nights”, “We Go Together”, and “Grease Lightning” to name a few. The scene at the dance where everybody is dancing looks even better on the big screen. It this movie is not playing in your city demand it. You will be glad you did. Everyone must experience this cool twist on “Grease”.  This movie rocks! I am giving it 5 out of 5 popcorn bags.

Dinner for Schmucks Movie Review

Posted by Crystal Booker on July 30, 2010

This movie is schmuckarific! Steve Carell plays a lonely Taxidermist named Barry, who has a very extraordinary talent for making mouse art. Tim played by Paul Rudd is a Financial Analyst, who wants to climb the ladder of success.  He is up for a promotion that could change his life and get him a better office on a higher floor. He positions his firm to land a huge client worth a hundred million dollars. His boss played by Bruce Greenwood is so pleased with his work that he invites Tim to a secret dinner that only the elite people in his firm are privy to. Each person invited to this dinner has to bring an idiot with them and at the end of the night the person deemed the biggest idiot will win the trophy.

Tim meets Barry after he accidentally hit him with his car. Barry was trying to get the dead mouse in the street. Barry who is not hurt from the encounter is excited that he got hit by a Porsche because he’s never been hit by one before and he offers to pay Tim money for the accident, which makes no sense considering he was the one that was accidentally hit by Tim.  Tim realizes right away that Barry is an idiot and he invites him to the dinner.

Barry is over joyed. He gets the dates wrong and shows up at Tim’s place a day early and turns Tim’s whole world upside down. The scene where Barry gets into Tim’s computer is hilarious. There are some scenes in the movie that are so farfetched and over the top like the scene where Tim’s ex-girlfriend shows up and destroys Tim’s place was ridiculous and the scene at the dinner where the house catches fire was wild and unbelievable. It is this reason I can only give it 3 out of 5 popcorn bags.

Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore

Posted by Crystal Booker on July 30, 2010

Spyriffic! This movie has it all, spies, action, and animals! Bette Midler does the voice of Kitty Galore. Kitty is a bitter feline shunned by her own family as well as her fellow cats. James Marsden does the voice of Diggs a spunky canine that can’t seem to get things right. Christina Applegate does the voice of Catherine a stealthy feline spy willing to do whatever it takes to stop Kitty Galore. Michael Clark Duncan is back as the voice of Sam the shaggy dog and Joe Pantaliano as back as the voice of Peek the hairless little dog that sees everything. Nick Nolte does the voice of Butch a strong canine super spy.  Sean Hayes returns as the voice of Mr. Tinkles a cat with issues. Kat Williams stills the show as the voice of Seamus a pigeon that Kitty Galore is after because of information he has. Neil Patrick Harris does the voice of Lou head of the dog spies and Roger Moore does the voice of Tab Lazenby the debonair leader of the cat spies. All the stars give great performances in bringing their characters to life.

Kitty Galore is a devious feline bent on revenge. She is bitter because her owners kicked her out at Christmas. Since then she has been determined to exact her revenge on the humans. Her plan is to send out a signal through a satellite that only dogs can hear. Once they hear it they will go crazy and turn on humans. This does not bode well with the dogs or cats. They reluctantly form an alliance to take Kitty Galore down. The special effects are awesome! The scene where Butch is chasing Seamus to save him from one of Kitty Galore’s henchcats is hilarious but very thrilling. The 3D effects in this movie are unnecessary and they don’t make or break the film. I am giving it 4 out of 5 popcorn bags.
