Title: Sarah Plain and Tall
Director: Glenn Jordan
Run Time: 98 minutes
Rated: G

Summary: Caleb and Anna's father puts an ad in the paper asking for a mail-ordered bride. When he gets a reply, Caleb gets super excited because Sarah, the woman who answered the letter, makes plans to visit for a month. Caleb's sister, Anna, on the other hand isn't so happy and she's definitely not excited. She doesn't want another mother, especially one that will leave. Will she learn to like Sarah, or will she get her way and will Sarah go back home?

Why I watched this movie:

I watched this movie because I read the book by Patricia MacLachlan. When I found out there was a movie about it, my mom and sister got it from the library for me to watch.

Likes:

  • Christopher Walken the father, looks so young! I saw him in Hairspray and wow. My mom says he's cute. I'm not so sure about that, but I guess that's up to you.
  • Glenn Close played Sarah Wheaton and while she was far too pretty for someone described as plain and tall, she was fantastic!
  • I thought Lexi Randall and Christopher Bell who played the kids were good too. They came across pretty genuine.

Dislikes:

  • This movie was too slow for me. I like the way things are filmed now with a little more action and sharper transitions. It was pretty much the book acted out word for word.
  • Anna was too much of a brat considering she wasn't at all that way in the book. I know. I know. I thought the kids were too nice in the book, obviously the script writers and director thought so too. I'm entitled to change my mind. She should have been a nice kid.

Last minute thoughts: My sister saw that there were sequels to the movie, which we think means sequels to the book. We're going to look out for them at the library. Have you read/seen them?

Movie Review: Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief directed by Chris Columbus

by First Mate Keira, guest reviewer

Title: Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief
Director: Chris Columbus
Length: 119 minutes
Rating: PG

Summary: The mythical world is hunting unsuspecting Percy Jackson. He is said to be the Lightning Thief, the one who stole Zeus’ master thunderbolt. Dark angry clouds are gathering across the world as Zeus prepares for war against Poseidon, Percy’s father, who is supposedly the mastermind behind this nefarious scheme. When Percy’s mother is abducted to the underworld, Percy and his friends Annabeth and Grover go on a quest to find her and clear his name.

Why I saw this movie:

I read the entire series of Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan with the idea that I would see all the movies. They will be the next Harry Potter and not just because Chris Columbus directed the film.

Likes:

Everything because I don’t think there was anything that I didn’t like.

I loved Brandon T. Jackson as Grover. He was fantastic. A lot of his lines were comic relief and a bit campy but fun. He delivered with perfect execution and timing. You can’t help but chuckle.

Alexandra Daddario who plays Annabeth was wonderful. It’s nice to see a side of her outside of White Collar, USA Network’s television series. She does an amazing job and brings a lot of life to the character. I think she’s pretty kickass.

They could not have cast a better Percy Jackson than in Logan Lerman. The boy is extremely good looking, hovering right between a more dorky persona and a confident youth. I wouldn’t mind watching him for long hours in a row.

Jake Abel is one hunky Luke. Without giving away too much of the future movies and plots, let’s just say I can’t wait to see him in the next films.

Rosario Dawson was an unexpected delight. She gave life to Persephone, a character I wasn’t all that sure about in the novels. I loved her sassy and sarcastic behavior toward Hades (Steve Coogan).

Craig Titley did an excellent job writing the script. He kept the essence of Rick Riordan’s novel while inserting a little more comedy, fluidity, and interest. Much of the basic world building facts are there. I can’t think of anything that was missed and needed.

I particular liked the handling of Medusa. In the books I thought it was extremely lame. The movie brought it out better and you seriously can’t go wrong with Uma Thurman. She was hysterical and fabulous.

The visual effects were stunning. It’s amazing what almost a decade can do when you compare the first Harry Potter movie to the first of this new franchise. I was not at all disappointed. They’re subtle, loud, beautiful, scary, and perfect rendered. You will be delighted.

I seriously can’t wait for movie two: Sea of Monsters!

Movie Review: Twilight directed by Catherine Hardwicke

movierev

by Captain Lyaf Yarr

Title: Twilight
Director: Catherine Hardwicke
Run Time: 122 minutes
Rated: PG 13

Summary: Bella Swan moves to the little town of Forks and meets a handsome boy named Edward Cullen. But what she doesn’t know is his secret, that he and his family are vampires. Will Edward be able to save her... from himself? Can the lion love a lamb? When Bella finally finds out it brings danger in everyone’s lives. Will Bella survive?

Why I watched this movie:

I watched this movie because, I heard it was good. Also, I read the book and I wanted to compare the book to the movie. Plus I wanted to see Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen!

Likes:

  • I enjoyed when Edward sparkled!
  • I liked the scene when Edward and Bella are officially dating and they go to school and everybody is staring at them. Edward in sunglasses is hot.
  • I liked the actor Cam Gigandet (James). I think he did a good job. He looked scary and like he was going to kill someone.
  • The last scene when Bella expects Edward to bite her and he doesn’t but, kisses her neck! So cute.
  • One of my favorite scenes is when Edward takes Bella to their house and the Cullens make Italian for her.

Dislikes:

  • I think it would be better if the actresses Nikki Reed (Rosalie) and Rachelle Lefevre (Victoria) switched places. I think Rachelle is prettier than Nikki, and would be a better actress for Rosalie.
  • I disliked that in the beginning Edward was in Bellas’ room without her knowing, watching her sleep. (I wouldn’t like it if someone was watching me sleep... it was okay after she invited him to do so, to each their own you know.)

Movie Review: Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events directed by Brad Siberling

by Cook Cutlery, guest reveiwer

Title: Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events
Director: Brad Siberling
Run Time: 108 minutes
Rated: PG

Summary: When the Baudilaire children are at the beach they are told that their parents had died in the fire and that their house was destroyed along with their parents. Orphaned, they go live with Count Olaf, a relative that none of them have heard of or meet. While the kids are living there they are given many chores and are not treated very nicely... and something is quite clearly afoot!

Why I watched this movie:

I had just finished reading the first book, The Bad Beginning. The movie itself is actually more than just the first book. I'm not sure how many, but I would guess it is at least about the first 3 or 4 books in the series.

Like:

  • I liked the actress, Emily Browning, that played Violet. She's very pretty. Browning looked just as I imagined Violet and was splendid to watch.
  • The way how none of the kids were going to give up; they kept on going. It's very admirable.
  • I liked how Violet did what was right for Klaus and Sunny. For instance when she does the play towards the end of the movie even though she really didn’t want to do it. She did it because if she didn’t Sunny was going to be dropped in the cage that was at the top of the tower.

Dislike:

  • The way Count Olaf (Jim Carrey) treated the children by like giving them many hard chores and then later striking Klaus a cross the face. I didn't like it in the book either.
  • The movie didn’t stick to the book. One change (outside of the fact it's more than one book long)  in the movie is that Klaus (Liam Aiken) was the one trying to save Sunny from the tower, when in the book it was Violet. I suppose it is meant to give Aiken something to do. Also Klaus was suppose to have glasses but he doesn’t. He should have glasses. After all where would Harry Potter be without his?

Movie Review: The Spiderwick Chronicles directed by Mark Waters

by First Mate Keira, guest reviewer

Title: The Spiderwick Chronicles
Director: Mark Waters
Run Time: 107 minutes
Rated: PG

Summary: The Grace children move with their mom into their crazy aunt's house after their parent's split up. Jared is embittered and blames his mom for the split. All he wants to do is be with his dad and can't wait until he shows up and takes him away. When unimaginable and unthinkable things begin to happen, Jared is blamed for them. How can he prove his innocence when what's causing all the problems is so fantastical and so invisible?

Why I watched this movie:

I saw this movie  after reading the original five Spiderwick Chronicles.

Likes:

  • One of the best things about this movie is the fact that it combined all the novels into one movie. The books are exceptionally short and hardly made a book let alone a movie.
  • I think Freddie Highmore who plays both Jared and Simon is absolutely adorable! His acting is incredible. I actually thought he was twins until I looked up the specifics.
  • Mary-Louise Parker who played the mom, Helen Grace, did a great job too. She looked and acted every bit the exasperated, exhausted, and sad mother. Parker truly fleshes out the character from book to onscreen.
  • Hogsqueal. Loved him!

Dislikes:

  • They changed a lot and I mean a lot of things from the books to the movies. Everything from how the griffin becomes part of the family to Helen seeing and battling goblins in the house and all in between.
  • The CGI is weaker than I'd like it to be especially with Thimbletack.
  • There are several continuity errors that the discerning eye and ear can make out while watching.
