Netflix and why I think its great

For those who like to watch everything and anything let me tell you about Netflix if you don't already know about it. Its by far better then Blockbusters. On Netflix you can instantly watch movies and TV shows that would have cost too much money at Blockbusters. I've discovered so many great movies and shows that a lot of people probably have never heard of before. Its cheap and fast as well. It doesn't take long for movies to come in the mail. It is awesome. I discovered a lot of entertaining shows like Murder She Wrote and Spartacus:Blood and Sand. Its like a gold mind of movies and tv shows. http://www.netflix.com

Movies Worth Going to See at the Movie Theater

I've pretty much seen most of the movies currently playing at the movie theater. Here is a brief review and grade of the movies I've seen so far.

Knight and Day
D-
I expected something fun,romantic, and exciting when I went to go see this. What I got was a movie that I felt lacked chemistry between Cruise and Diaz and too much Screaming from Diaz. The trailer is better then the film itself. I wish I could find the words to better describe how bad this movie is.

Toy Story 3
A+
This is a very heartwarming, funny, and fun movie. I actually embarrassed myself when I went to see this because I teared up at the end and a couple saw me. Its a great movie to watch with the family.

Despicable Me 3D
A
This was a very cute and heartwarming movie. This is a must see.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice
B
I feel like it could have been better but it was still enjoyable. A great movie to watch to pass the time. I would rather rent it though then pay 8 dollars.

The A-team
A+
If you have not seen this movie then you have missed out. By far it is my 2nd favorite. It use to be my number 1 but then I went to see Inception. It has action(loads of it), crazy stunts, a good looking cast, great chemistry between the characters, lots of funny dialogue and moments, and Sharlto Copley. It is to me sort of like a mesh between The Hangover and Oceans Eleven.

Inception
A+
This movie is by far the best movie at the movie theater right now. It is amazing. The soundtrack works wonderfully with every amazing scene. The visuals in this movie are stunning.The cast is very talented. That's all I'm going to say because I can't really describe perfectly what makes this movie great.

Al diablo con los guapos ("To Hell with Handsome Men")

This Spanish novella is very entertaining and the surprising thing about it is that the actress who plays the main character Milagros is actually 15 years old.

Pros: If your into soap operas then you will like this.

Cons: It looks like they cut out a quite a lot of scenes that involve the other minor characters but you pretty much still know whats going on with the two main characters.













Brief Synopsis: Milagros, a young girl raised in a orphanage, is hired as a servant for the wealthy and powerful Belmonte Family. The Belmontes disapprove of the girls coarse manner, except for the family matriarch, Regina, who take Milagros under her wing. Alejandro, the handsome, womanizing grandson ,becomes fascinated with tomboyish Milagros, and though she resists his advances, she falls in love with him. This doesn't sit will with either cousin Hugo, who wants Milagros for himself, or Andrea, Alejandro's ex-fiancee and they reveal a well kept family secret that could destroy the couples chances for happiness.
