Starring: Annabeth Gish, Julia Roberts, Lili Taylor
Opening Date: October 21, 1988
The beginning was a little confusing for me, because it started off with a wedding who was Jojo's (Lili) sister, but looked exactly like Jojo. So it's her sister...
Two sisters and a friend (Annabeth, Julia and Lili) all work at a pizza shop, each having their own problem. Kat (Annabeth) is a smart, driven, bright girl who has a bright future and going to Yale. The problem seems that no guy is interested in her and she seems to feel jealous of her sister, Daisy (Julia), because Daisy can get any guy she wants. Daisy knows she will never amount to Kat and wants her mom to know it. Jojo has a boyfriend who is adamant about marrying her, and even breaks up with her because of it.
Kat ends up falling for the guy she babysits for to only find out it was a fling, and after love making, that it seemed like it didn't mean anything. But it meant so much to Kat, but she found that she had to move on. Daisy also falls for someone who's rich, and got kicked out of school. She finds out that he uses her toward his own family because she's lower class than them. Watching the movie, I didn't really figure out why he would do that, and didn't really understand the explanation.
What I didn't agree on was the mother being so harsh on Daisy because she wasn't going to school, she didn't see who Daisy really was, only what she wanted her to be. I think she could've encouraged her but not change her into her sister, who Daisy was not.
The movie is a very coming of age movie, and a chick flick or to just watch with a group of friends. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, and Julia Roberts is gorgeous in the film. All three of the girls played the characters very well.

Drag Me to Hell
Starring: Alison Lohman, Justin Long, Lorna Raver, and Dileep Rao.
Opening date: May 29, 2009
When there becomes a competition between Christine(Alison) and another employee for a spot as the assistant manager, a women comes in who changes Christine's fate. The old women Mrs. Ganush comes in asking for another extention on her house, Christine has to choose between yes and no. Yes means that Christine isn't adamant and not serious about her work, no means that she is serious about her work and is serious that she wants the position. Christine tells Mrs. Ganush no, even though you find out she could've extended it, but she had to show her boss who she really was.
When Mrs. Ganush puts a curse on Christine, Christine starts getting haunted by a creature. You can't ever see him, but you can see his shadow and that he is there. He puts Christine through hell by slapping her, and throwing her across the room. He follows her where ever she goes, including work. The presence is always around. When Christine tries to make ends meet and say sorry to the poor women, she finds out that she's dead.
Christine goes to a Forture Teller to try and help her, he gives her a book to tell her how to get rid of the curse but it doesn't work. They even get together with a medium, but they just find out that although the spirit is gone, the curse is not over.
By the end Christine tries to get the curse off by putting it back on Mrs. Ganush, but somehow the button that the old women cursed Christine on finds its way back to her boyfriend and back to her.
The movie had an intersting twist, but it was easy to figure out what was going to happen. It had a lot of jumps, and if you have teenagers in your theatre, you'll hear a lot of the screams. Some parts were gross, because of bugs and other things, which most people arn't okay watching. If you're into horror, you'll most likely have mixed feelings about this movie... I did. I loved it, but all the same it was kind of silly/funny at some parts. Overall, I'd recommend this movie, but not to small children. If you're a fan of Alison, like me, you'll love her in this, she did an amazing job. Ellen Page was suppose to play Christine, but I couldn't see it after watching Alison.

Evolution
Starring: David Duchovny. Orlando Jones. Seann William Scott. Julianne Moore. Dan Aykroyd. Opening date: June 8. 2001.
When a meteor hits in the desert of Arizona. Ira and Harry come to investigate (David and Orlando). They take samples and discover that the organisms separate and become more than they can handle. They find out that this organisms seem to be extra-terrestrials that form rapidly. After the government gets involved, the two men are banned from continuing their research and investigation, but the government and the men, plus a clutzy scientist and a fireman to be, end up coming together to try and fight these organisms.
The end had an interesting twist, and throughout the movie you're always cheering for the main characters, since they knew what they were doing all along than the government.
I highly recommend this movie to anyone who loves the sci-fi genre, and people of all ages. At some parts throughout the movie, some scenes were silly like the lady who thought there was a dog in her closet and wanted to touch it.

Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian
Starring: Ben Stiller. Amy Adams. Hank Azaria. Owen Wilson. Steve Coogan. Bill Hader. Opening date: May 22, 2009
When the Natural Museum of History decides to do renovations, they ship the artifacts to a new museum, the Smithsonian. After two years, and becoming an entrepreneur, Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) visits his old job as the night guard and has found out what has happened. He thinks they should stay, but the boss (Ricky Gervais) has already decided the museum's destiny.
After getting a call from Jedediah, Larry catches the first flight to D.C to the museum. This movie includes many adventures including some with Amelia Earhart (Amy Adams) and President Lincoln. The main idea in this movie was to get the Natural Museum of History back into the way it was beforehand. The end had a surprising moment and a tiny bit of a "I knew that was gonna happen" moment. But you also had a question, "what happened to the Smithsonian when it was all done?" It may not be an important aspect of the movie, but it was a question I had in mind when the end came.
In my opinion, this movie was very entertaining and had a lot of chuckles and laughs. It was full of adventure. I liked how Larry came back to the museum, saw what had happened, and found a way to fix it, and he did. The cast was amazing, and everyone did a perfect job, and a perfect casting. I would recommend this movie to anyone. It's for people of all ages.
