1. Grown Ups (2010)
After their high school basketball coach passes away, five good friends and former teammates reunite for a Fourth of July holiday weekend.
Actors: Adam Sandler, Salma Hayek
Rating: 3.5 of 5
This movie was a lot of fun to watch! I loved how spending the weekend together as one happy family made everyone realize what's really important in life, and to prioritize it!
2. John Tucker Must Die (2006)
2. John Tucker Must Die (2006) Three ex-girlfriends of a serial cheater set up their former lover to fall for the new girl in town so they can watch him get his heart broken.
Actors: Jesse Metcalfe, Brittany Snow Rating: 4 of 5
This is obviously not my first time watching this movie, more like the fifth... It is still very good though! High School romantic comedy at its best! 
3. Wedding Daze (2006)
3. Wedding Daze (2006)
After losing the woman of his dreams, Anderson is convinced he'll never fall in love again. But at the urging of his best friend, he spontaneously proposes to a dissatisfied waitress named Katie and an innocent dare evolves into the kind of love that both have been looking for all along.
Actors: Isla Fisher, Jason Biggs
Rating: 2 of 5
4. Step Up 3D (2010)
Meh, a romantic comedy which is not very funny and not very romantic. I watched with one eye only.
4. Step Up 3D (2010)
A tight-knit group of New York City street dancers, including Luke and Natalie, team up with NYU freshman Moose, and find themselves pitted against the world's best hip hop dancers in a high-stakes showdown that will change their lives forever.
Actors: Rick Malambri, Sharni Vinson, Alyson Stoner
Rating: 3 of 5
Far from as good as the first Step Up movie, but the dance scenes are cool as always! And I can imagine them being wicked cool if you watch them in 3D.
5. Salt (2010)
5. Salt (2010)
A CIA agent goes on the run after a defector accuses her of being a Russian spy.
Actors: Angelina Jolie, Liev Schreiber

Just four days until the New Moon premiere! Are you excited?
I'm sure that this movie is going to be much better than Twilight, Twilight was a bit rushed, and let's face it, the special effects were bad. (Seriously, did anyone see any sparkling?)
Nope, me either.
I think the special effects in the New Moon movie is going to much better, the Jacob-turns-into-a-wolf thing in the trailer is pretty well done, for example. So, yeah, I'm going to the movie theater to see New Moon. What about you?
What are your thoughts on New Moon? Are you going to see it? Any special parts you look forward to seeing adapted?

I'm not a big Jolie fan, so I was pleasantly surprised with how much I liked this movie!
6. The Tourist (2010)
Frank is an American tourist visiting Italy to mend his broken heart. Elise is an extraordinary woman who deliberately crosses his path.
Actors: Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie
Rating: 4.5 of 5
My second Jolie movie this month! I really liked The Tourist, it was smart and fun! Plus, Johnny Depp is always good.
7. The Wedding Date (2005)
Single-girl anxiety causes Kat Ellis to hire a male escort to pose as her boyfriend at her sister's wedding. Her plan, an attempt to dupe her ex-fiancé, who dumped her a couple years prior, proves to be her undoing.
Actors: Debra Messing, Dermot Mulroney, Amy Adams
Rating: 2.5 of 5
You all know how this movie is going to end, right? Predictable. On the plus side: Amy Adams and Debra Messing could really be sisters, they look very much alike!
Watched Movies: 7 (5 for the first time)
Best Movie: The Tourist & Salt
Worst Movie: Wedding Daze

Movie Review: Eclipse
A few days ago, I finally went to see Eclipse! For some reason, I haven't been as excited to see this movie, as I was before watching Twilight and New Moon. Anyways, the movie was good! It wasn't as funny as New Moon or Twilight, but it was very well made. I figure you all know what the movie is about, so I won't make a long review post, just share some of my highlights (+) and lowlights (-) from the movie, along with some things that bugged me or left me wondering (?).
Highlights:
+ JACOB! I smiled widely every time he appeared on the screen. Also - he had his shirt on like three times in the entire movie.
+ EMMETT! He's funny! I loved when he & Bella almost flirted and Rosalie got pissed :p. More Emmett in the next movie please!
+ THE PACK. They are all soo funny (ok maybe not Leah) and I love the way they joke around and treat each other like brothers.
+ The "vampire SPEED" - it actually looked like the Cullen's ran super fast!
- BREE Tanner. Stephenie Meyer wrote an entire novella about her. In the movie? I'm not sure if she said anything, or just screamed. More about her would have been fun!
- The RIPPING-vampires-apart stuff. That was not like I had imagined it at all. It looked like they were smashing porcelain pots!
- The part with ROSALIE's back story was interesting, but she did not look like she belonged at that time at all!
- What's up with JASPER's haircut? He looks silly.
? Why did they film Edward from the side during the entire movie? His EAR bugged me...
? Was it only me, or did Edward SPARKLE through his shirt in the end of the movie? Or did he just have a sparkling shirt on?

Fun-Post Friday: Who's Your Vampire Lover?
Who's your Vampire Lover? Do this quiz and find out!
I have to say, I'm happy over my result! Take a look at these vampires:
The Heroic Vampire
You love a man who’s romantic and likes to seek justice. That’s why your perfect vampire match is Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen in “Twilight,” David Boreanaz as Angel in “Angel,” Wesley Snipes as Blade in “Blade” or Kyle Schmid as Henry Fitzroy in “Blood Ties” (pictured from left to right). He’s the type of vampire lover who will want to protect you and others from harm, and he has a strong sense of wanting to be part of a larger moral good. Just remember that being with a self-righteous do-gooder can have its drawbacks, and it can bite you in the end if things are taken to the extreme.
Which Vampire/Vampires did you get?

Thoughts about New Moon: the Movie
So, I went to see New Moon on Tuesday night, and what can I say about it?
Well, New Moon was A LOT better than Twilight:
* The movie wasn't as rushed as Twilight
* The special effects were great and very well done (I even noticed the sparkling this time!)
* The movie stayed very true to the book
The Pros:
* Taylor Lautner did a great job as Jacob Black, he was probably the best actor in the movie
* The chemistry between Jacob and Bella was great
* The fighting scenes + other special effects
* I loved the wolf pack, those guys were funny, and you know well-built ;)
* Jacob's muscles and body!
The Cons:
* I wasn't that impressed with Rob Pattinson's job as Edward in this movie, he had one facial expression - suffering
* Bella's nightmares. Does anyone really scream that high when they have nightmares?
* I wanted to see more of the wolf pack, and more of the Cullens
* It was so sad to watch Bella break Jacob's heart over and over again...
* Edward's muscles (fake!) and body (pale & hairy)
So to sum it all up - New Moon was great, and I wished the movie had been even longer...
Jacob was adorable - especially in the rain scene.
Bella was sissy and selfish as usual,
and Edward wasn't hot at all in this movie. Is it just me or does he always sound superior and disparaging when he speaks?
I'm so Team Jacob in the movies!

What does Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Eddie Murphy and Kate Beckinsale have in common?
What does Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Eddie Murphy and Kate Beckinsale have in common?
They have all played vampires on the big screen.
Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise in Interview with the Vampire from 1994
A vampire tells his epic life story: love, betrayal, loneliness, and hunger.
Eddie Murphy in Vampire in Brooklyn, released in 1995
Maximillian is the only survivor from a race of vampires on a Caribbean Island, and as a vampire, he must find a mate to keep the line from ending. He knows that a child had been born to a woman who had a vampire father, and he searches for her in Brooklyn. Rita's mother, who has died in an asylum, was that woman and Rita has nightmares that she does not understand. Not knowing that she is part vampire, Max woos her and attempts to bring her to her blood sucking destiny. Even though Rita has strange dreams and actions, Justice, her partner, has feelings for her and does not want her involved with this stranger Max. But it is Rita who must decide her destiny.
And Kate Beckinsale in 2003's Underworld and 2006's Underworld:Evolution
Vampires and Werewolves have been sworn enemies for hundreds of years. Now fought in a Gothic-like setting, the conflict takes an unexpected and deadly new turn. Selene, a beautiful vampire warrior, uncovers a Lycan plot that could prove fatal for her entire race. She shadows a human, Michael, the Lycan's supposed target. Although she finds herself becoming attracted to him, he becomes infected with the lupine disease during a violent struggle with the Lycan overlord, Lucian, long thought to be dead. Now both sides must decide how to end the conflict and save their species as new and terrifying secrets unearth themselves and threaten their entire existance
So tell me, who makes the best vampire? Have you seen any of these movies, and what did you think about them?

New Moon Movie Posters
Hey guys, have you seen the new New Moon posters? What do you think of them?
I'm not that impressed by this poster. . . Everyone's looking kind of meeh. They're not looking great, or anywhere near "the most beautiful women and men in the world" - as they're supposed too.
This one is a bit better - but I can't say that the Volturi's look particulary scary. The blond guy on the left (Caius) looks afraid himself! And the second guy from the left, Alec, is he really supposed to be that young? I can't remember. I think Dakota Fanning is gonna make a great Jane though.
And the last one - Now we're talking!! Those guys are HOT! I'm so glad that Jacob cut his hair, and Taylor Lautner looks so good with all those pounds of new muscles! And the second guy from the right - who is that sexy dude? I love his laid-back style!
And the tattoos - don't you just love the tattoos?
Here's a bonus photo - 'cause who doesn't wanna see the Wolf Pack shirtless?
