National Treasure is one of my favorite movies. Then again, I love movies like this. There's a ton of historical fact (and a lot of creative liberties taken with some very old rumors) that bring the story together and not only make it believable, but make younger generations take an interest in our history (as if all the blood gore and conspiracies that are actually in our history aren't enough). What I like most about this movie is that even the fictional parts of the it are so detailed in explanation, you can't help but wonder if at least some of it is true. Perhaps there is a lost Templar treasure somewhere, prehaps someday this movie will be remade as being "based on true events". All we can do is wonder and dream about such a wonderful find.

I give this movie 5 of 5 paws.

Don't let the name fool you, Quillity Author Services does more than just promote authors. I use them to help promote my Scentsy business and I have zero regrets. Quillity has been amazing with promoting my products. They're diligent, eager to help and actually enjoy promoting others, which is rare since most companies these days are just looking for a quick buck. Their prices are more than fair for the amount of work they do within an hour. They are very creative-minded and have a million ideas on how to sell your brand and products more effectively while reaching new customers in the process. I totally intend to continue using their services and not just for Scentsy.

This is probably one of the most twisted movies I've ever seen in my life. Definitely a must-see for anyone who likes crime dramas and thrillers. There's a ton of unexpected twists and turns, and unlike most Rated R movies, there's some actual boy-bit visuals too from both the main actor, Ben Affleck, as well as the supporting minor male, Neil Patrick Harris. Rosamund Pike played the sociopath beautifully. I was very impressed with her performance. If you hated her, she did her job well, trust me. This is definitely something I would watch again... and again.

​Carmen: A Hip Hopera was one of my favorite movies growing up. With an all star cast, this movie was the pinnacle of hip hop culture when it released. Watching it now as an adult though, the acting is absolutely horrible!  The only thing even half way decent are the songs which riddle the movie since it's a musical. This movie brings back so many memories for me and for that reason alone, I give it 4 of 5 paws.

Ghost in the shell is a pretty good movie. There are some very noticeable variations between the movie and the anime, though I'd have to say, they did an amazing job of bringing the first scene of the first episode to life in the movie. I wasn't pleased with the casting choices, however. Motoko was all right being played by scarlet Johanson, but the they should have cast Batou better, or at the very least given the character his infamous pony tail. The story line was decent, mixing scenes from stand alone complex and things that were new (to me at any rate). They did a great job of bringing the city to life and even Motoko's infamous backward fall from the roof that's in the opening credits of the anime. I definitely plan to watch this one again at some point. I give this movie 5 of 5 paws

I have tried so hard to watch this movie all the way through several times since it's release and have failed every time. The idea of the story is a good one, but the execution falls short. There's plenty of action and jump scares to keep most people glued to the screen. For me, it's not enough. 

It reminds me so much of The Skulls and I think that's where my issue lies. While The Covenant has different characters, the main premise is quite similar to The Skulls, which released first and gave me the same attention-holding issues.

The Covenant is a good movie for those who need a quick jump-start, or for those who don't like hardcore thrillers, but for those of us who find only the goriest and scariest of movies good enough, this one doesn't even come close to hitting that mark. I give this movie 3 of 4 paws.

The Boss Baby gives an interesting take on where babies come from. While most babies go to families to grow up and be normal, others are kept behind to manage and run the place all babies come from. One of these management babies is sent to a family on a mission, one that will save all of baby-kind if he succeeds. His task isn't easy, he must first find a way to get along with the boy that's already there.

This is probably one of the cutest movies I've seen in a long time. It's funny straight from the start, and its serious points are well-played out, without interfering with anything or sobering the movie too much. It's almost like a metaphor. As children, we never want to grow up, but at some point, we realize that some things are worth growing up for and this movie hits that point right on the head.

When this first released, I was certain I wouldn't like it, I didn't even want to see it. But, I'm glad my daughter pressed for it and we watched it. It's definitely a movie I'd watch again.

The Sword in the Stone is a Disney classic. One which has opened many children's eyes to the wonder of medieval life. It's a great start to the Arthurian era, but it has always left me wanting. The movie only discusses Arthur as a child and promptly ends about five minutes after he draws Excalibur from the stone; Excalibur is not once called by its name during the movie, which is understandable given it's a very old Disney animated movie. There is zero action and adventure in this film, which is unlike most Disney films. Even Sleeping Beauty and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs had some action, but this film had none, which in my own personal experience as a child, turned me off to this movie for many many years. I found it dull and a bit boring, and I still do. Merlin is seen as a clown instead of the great wizard he was noted as in the lore of Arthur. The only character that made this even made this worth paying attention to was Archimedes, Merlin's surly owl. Don't get me wrong, it's a good introduction to Arthur's life, but it will lose the attention of most children rather quickly due to the lack of jumpy, happy songs, which are adored by children, and the lack of a villain.
