Bad Words
Holy #^@%$. This movie is freaking hilarious! I seriously loved it. I haven't laughed that hard in a movie since...um...well, in a long time. Jason Bateman is &@#$ amazing. I'd happily see it again. Rohan Chand is insanely adorable and I can see this kid stealing hearts as he grows up. I really have nothing negative to say, and would LOVE to tell about a few things, but I refuse to give any spoilers and ruin any laughs.
GO SEE THIS. Just not with your parents.

3 Days to Kill
This movie is about a friendly, yet extremely dangerous, spy who is trying to reconnect with his out of control teenage daughter. Oh yeah, he's dying. Kevin Costner was pretty decent as a I-don't-give-a-damn-I'm-gonna-kill-'em-all spy. He doesn't miss a beat as he kills, beats up, or threatens bad guys while answering his phone from his bratty daughter. It had moments of almost greatness, but mostly was a mediocre action movie. It's a shame because I truly LOVE Kevin Costner.
Winter's Tale
So, we went to a screening of Winters Tale last night. That's 118 minutes I'll never get back. Fox News makes more sense than this movie, and that makes me sad. I wanted to like it. I adore Colin Farrell. I'll pretty much watch anything with him in it. Except this. I will never watch this again. The only teeny, tiny moment of decent in this entire movie was the 10 minutes Will Smith is on screen as Lucifer. Yeah.
Endless Love
If you're going to remake a movie from the 80s, make sure you choose a GOOD movie from the 80s. Endless Love was a sappy movie with Brooke Shields, and a crappy movie with Gabriella Wilde. It's a corny movie about teenagers kissing and a dad who wants them to stop. Hell, I wanted them to stop. If you are feeling the need to see a teenage love story, skip this one and rent anything from John Hughes instead.
RoboCop
I like RoboCop. I like the idea of a uber cool manbot kicking butt and taking names to clean up a crime ridden city. (Can we get him to come to NJ and straighten up Camden?) I loved the weak special effects and the loud heavy sounds of each and every step he took. That was the RoboCop of 1987.
The RoboCop of 2014 is...is...well, I sure liked the popcorn.

The Lego Movie
I'd like to pretend I was cool, calm , and collected about seeing this movie. I mean, it's a kid's movie with Lego minifigures. Right? Truthfully, I was instantly transported to my childhood and got completely caught up in the story. This movie is fun. Seriously. I was laughing pretty often throughout, and stayed interested until the end. I'm not even afraid to admit I squealed like a little girl when the Millennium Falcon showed up. Seeing my beloved Star Wars minifigures made this movie that much better for me. What could be better? Anthony freaking Daniels was C3PO. Billy Dee Williams was Lando! Come on. That just rocks. The only thing that would've made this better would've been having the great Peter Mayhew voice my beloved Chewbacca. Will Arnett is an amazing Batman and was clearly the star of the Lego world. Well, maybe not the star, but damn close. This is most definitely worth seeing. Everything is awesome.
