The Notebook

My Thoughts:

-    Why do I let people talk me into things I know I won't like? WHY?

-    I didn't like Noah or Allie. They were dumb as teenagers and as adults.

-    Noah totally manipulated Allie into going out with him! Great way to start a relationship! NOT!

-    I was bored for a lot of the film. A lot of it was just talking and talking and talking.

-    I liked Noah's dad. He was the best character in the movie.

-    Allie is such a SPAZ!

-    Noah turns into a crazy obsessive bum. What woman would want that? I didn't like how he used that poor widow lady.

-    I was SO bored!

-    Allie should have picked the other dude. He was stable and really nice. Plus he adored her. 

-    James Garner looks NOTHING like Ryan Gosling.

-    What was the point of this movie!?

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

My Thoughts:

-    I FINALLY saw this!!  I have been wanting to see this for a long time, and I finally got my chance.  I was not disappointed!

-    I really didn't like Rachel McAdams, I was really happy that she wasn't in very much of the movie. I won't lie, I was kinda happy about what happened to her.

-    The pony part made me laugh SO HARD!!  I didn't stop laughing for a long time after that scene.  It was hilarious!

-    The cinematography was trippy.  I think the should have cut down on it a bit.  Some of it was really cool, but they used the special slow down thingy way too much.

-    I loved the cast!  Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law are so good together as Holmes and Watson!  

-    Moriarty had a scarier voice in the first movie.  I kinda wish he still had that voice. 

-    The last scene made me laugh.

-    Sherlock's brother grossed me out!

-    The plot/story was really meticulous, and I'm going to have to watch this 5 more times to understand everything that happened.  I love movies like this though.  It has a lot of re-watch value, and I can pick up on new things each time.  

Tyson's Thoughts:

-    That Rachel lady is like sour melk and gives me bad acid reflux and heartburn.

-    It was good.

Hubby's Thought:

-    Who doesn't like gypsies?

Sherlock Holmes

My Thoughts:

-    This movie was a newer and fresher Sherlock Holmes.  I loved it!!  It was exciting!

-    I LOVE Robert Downey Jr. as Holmes.  He cracks me up! 

-    I thought Jude Law portrayed a really cool Watson.  I'm used to seeing an older pudgier Watson, and it was a nice change.

-    I don't like that everyone had an accent except Ms. Adler.  What is wrong with her?  Couldn't she pull off an English accent?

-    The action sequences were really good.  I loved how Holmes and Watson took down all the baddies.  

-    It was hilarious how Holmes got destructive when he got bored.  He is just like a dog.  When an intelligent dog gets bored, he destroys your house.  

-    It was good for me to watch this multiple times.  I caught on to a lot more and looked for different things.

-    I've heard a lot people say they didn't like this movie because it was dark.  I loved that aspect though.  It took place in Victorian England.  Things weren't all rainbows and sunshine.  I liked the the darkness and fear.  It added a lot to the urgency of solving the case.  

-    I'm way excited to see the 2nd movie!!

-    Confession:  I have never read any of the Sherlock Holmes books.  I desperately want to though, and I think I'll pick a copy for myself sometime soon!
