The first movie of this year that I went to see was one that hasn't received a lot of attention from the media and being Heath Ledger's last performance I think should be getting tons more.
Movie Title: The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (pronounced Parn-ass-us)
Starring: Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell.
Rating: PG - 13 for violent imagines, some sensuality, language and smoking.
Review:
I can honestly say that this movie is one of a kind. It is very out of this world, but in a good...WOW...type way. The effects are amazing, the acting is incredible and the storyline was good-weird but still had the WOW factor. Prepare to be Amazed!!
Overall I give this movie an A+.

Movie Reviews for 2009!!
Hello Followers,
Being a lover of movies I watch alot of them...and I mean a lot. I'm a member with Netflix and so far without really trying to keep track of movies I've seen, I've given almost 1400 ratings....I've only been a member with them for a few months. When seeing this number today, I decided to give you my views on different movies I watch. There were a lot of movies that came out during 2009 so here is the list of the new ones I saw, out of the 51 I saw, that deserve mention:
Avatar - Best Special Effects
9 - Best Animated Movie for kids 10 +
Alvin and the Chipmunks - Best Animovie for kids (That is what I call the half animation/half real life movies)
Coraline - deserves mention because though it was creepy I thought it was extremely well done and had a great story line that kept you on the edge of your seat until the end.
Fame 2009 - Best Musical
Fired Up - deserves mention because it was really funny and we all have known someone like the main two guys.
Fast and Furious - Best Adrenaline Rush
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past - deserves mention because it was a new take on a classic tale.
G I Joe - deserves mention because it was very action packed, great story line and twists you didn't see coming.
Hannah Montana: The Movie - deserves mention as it was Miley Cyress's movie debut and as much as I can't stand her it was actually pretty good and the songs were amazing.
Harry Potter 6 - of course :) Best Book to Movie Crossover
Inkheart - deserves mention because I think this encourages children to read and I liked the movie better than the book.
Julie & Julia - deserves mention because this story is based on real life and it is amazing that someone would do that and succeed.
New Moon - Best Breakthrough Actor Taylor/Jacob
Pandorum - Best Actor Ben Foster, movie was not the most amazing but he's performance was incredible.
Princess and the Frog - Best Animated Movie
The Proposal - Best Romantic Comedy
Push - Best Fantasy Movie = tons of action and the storyline and acting were amazing they all did a fantastic job.
Race to Witch Mountain - deserves mention because the actors, especially the kids, did a great job in this movie and the effects were cool.
Star Trek 2009 - Best Sci-Fi movie = OME, I watched a few Star Trek episodes growing up but didn't really care that much about it, then I saw this movie and now I want to know everything :)
Taken - deserves mention because I feel Liam Neeson did an amazing, Arnold S, type job. He's bringing back the if you hurt my family watch out theme and I love that.
Terminator Salvation - deserves mention because hello Terminator and Christian Bale in one...AWESOME!!
Transformers 2 - Best Action Movie
Underworld: Rise of the Lycans - Best Prequel EVER!! = I always thought that Michael Sheen is awesome and I love his character in these films.
Up - deserves mention because it has everything for kids as well things only the adults understand. Not to mention its really funny...Squirrel :)
Wolverine - deserves mention as it came pretty close to being the best prequel ever for me, yet it lost points for me with what they did to Ryan Reynolds, if you haven't seen it I won't say anymore except it was still an Amazing movie and definately deserves viewing.
Now for my favorite part the WORST movies of 2009, as I see it:
Watchmen - OME, the only good thing about this movie was the storyline and even then the DUMBEST ending I've ever seen.
Adventureland - Sorry Kristen I love you as Bella, but this movie SUCKED so bad. The storyline was pure horror and you know a movie is bad when you want the main character to purchase an AK47 and kill everyone else.
How To Be - Sorry Rob but this movie again had the worst storyline, although I thought that the acting from only Rob was any good.
Prom Night - I know this movie came out a while ago but I only recently was able to watch it. Although the storyline was good, the movie SUCKED and the ending was ridiculous. Kellan, your character had only a few lines but you were the hightlight of the hour and half I had to sit through.
If there were any others you wanted to know my view please let me know. As you can tell from the list I love all kinds of movies, so any suggestions on ones I should see are apprecitated.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010!!
Happy New Year 2010 Followers.
I hope everyone had a great Christmas. Welcome to 2010!! I've been giving a lot of thought into New Year resolutions that usually happen this time of year and I believe that they can be achieved as long as you keep them realistic. Here are a few of mine:
1) Complete sequel
2) Go on vacation twice (once with kids, once without them)
3) Sell our house
4) Hopefully buy a new house, so we don't have to live with the in-laws for very long LOL
I personally think these goals are achieveable, but like many things I won't be handed these things on a silver platter, I'm going to need to do most of the work myself. I have a great feeling for this year and a positive attitude should help make it one. I pray that all your goals are achieved and wish you all the best for this 2010 year.
