Okay - Pam and I went to see One for the Money last night...
IF you are a Janet Evanovich fan (and I am!) the movie is OKAY. It follows the book to a "T"...so unlike other movies adapted from books - you know exactly what is going to happen and the words....
I will see the others when they come out...however...I will not be seeing them in a theater...I'll wait until they come out on DVD.
The casting isn't bad. I didn't like Debbie Reynolds as Grandma Mazur - she seemed too polished - does that make sense?
Ranger was okay - I was thinking Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) might be a better fit...Daniel Sunjata is cute though. Not sure who I thought would play Morelli - Jason O'Mara (love those blue eyes!!) did well....
So what movie(s) have you seen and what did you think of it or them?
Lynn: I am thinking this is one is testing the waters....for the series...it was cute. If you haven't read the books - you might like it better...they did a good job in following the book!! :)
yeah - The Rock...he can knock on my door any day!!
my Mom & I were just talking about the movie today. I will be with her next wkend & we're planning on a girl's night ....with as many women as we can round up...to go see the movie.
Can't wait....it'll be fun with a crowd! I'm reading #17 right now....but when I look back at the series, #4 really stands out as being super funny. I may have to go back thru the series!
You probably saw from my posts on FB but we took the kids early on Saturday to see We Bought A Zoo. It was better than I thought it would be and the kids liked it too.
Then hubby and I went Sat night to see The Grey. It was very graphic (hence the R rating) but you had enough notice it was coming so I closed my eyes during all those parts. =) The ending SUCKED! It left you hanging, more than any other movie I think I've seen. Although technically you *know* whats going to happen, I still hated it. So I can't decide if I liked it or not!!!! We don't have the kids this weekend so we may see Man on a Ledge and theres another one we want to see but I can't remember which one. =)
Thank you for the review! I am anxious to see it. I think that the Rock would have a good Ranger, too.
I love the books by Janet Evanovich too. Are they actually going to make all of them into movies?
We just saw Red Tails.
It's about the Tuskegee Airmen of WWII.
It was an excellent movie. We all loved it.
You should see it!
I saw this on friday with the hubby. He hasn't read the books so getting his opinion was very valuable. He gave it about a 6-7 out of 10. I gave it a 7-7.5 out of 10, and I've read ALL the books at least 4 times LOL
I think they did a good job with the casting and the screenplay. One for the Money is the only book in the series that the rights have been bought for (at least last I heard) and I think it will depend on how successful this one ends up being as to whether or not the others will be optioned or not. There were a few things that were not quite what they were in the book, but it was still well done in my opinion.
Sherlock Holmes Game of shadows was the last movie I saw and it was AWESOME!!!!!
That is all, the story line was masterful , I do hate what they did to the main girl in the first one. Other than that it was GREAT!
