Extremely well made film, one of its kind.
The story is set in Spain during the revolution. It revolves around Ofelia and her pregnant mother Carmen who have relocated to the mountains where the Captain awaits the birth of his son. The hills and her new home are oppressive for Ofelia who finds comfort in magic and fairies. As the drama unfolds, Ofelia and her mothers life take a tragic turn for the worse, but magic always finds her and keeps her.
A must see movie! Go enjoy Pan’s Labyrinth

This was a really good Valentine’s day romantic (perfect timing guys!) movie. It was funny and easy to watch, and the plot even made good sense. The movie focused on a 40s something washed out 80’s pop singer (Hugh Grant) who was trying to keep up with his music career, only to find out that he was truly clueless about lyrics. He chances upon a young woman (Drew Barrymore) who enters his life and apartment to water his plants. She helps him with lyrics for a new song which saves his career, however she also ends up in love with him, while he was not so sure at first. All in all it’s a feel good movie with a good happy ending. The visuals are nothing great so I would recommend you wait until its on DVD and have a sappy girls night to watch it.
If you like to hear Hugh Grant sing again then you should get the Music and Lyrics
soundtrack!
Check out the Music and Lyrics trailer!

Night at the museum is the best adventure movie I saw for a long time.
Ben Stiller plays the role of a guy that didn’t have a steady job for ages. And is almost evicted from his home. So as a last resort he find himself the job as night watch at the National History Museum.
The thing they didn’t tell him is that after sun set the things in the museum come to live. He needs to make sure to keep them all happy and make sure he doesn’t get eaten 
The story has some interesting twist and is real fun to go see in the theater.
Check out the official Night at the Museum website for the trailer!

Let me tell you a little bit about the movie “The Holiday”
The Holiday is the Romantic Christmas movie that just went in to theater. We went to see it yesterday and i have to say that i was surprised that so few people where at this movie.
The Holiday is about Amanada (Carman Diaz) and Iris (Kate Winslet) two girls that just had a nasty relation ship break and decide to swap houses. Amanda lives in LA and Iris lives in a small village in England (45 minutes from London )
Irist seem to love her new live in LA and makes friends with her new Neighbor and a movie composer (Jack Black) and Amanda runs in to Irisis Brother.
It was a positive surprise how well Jack Black does in this role he is still “funny” but also serious at times.
I would say go see the holiday and see where Amanda and Iris run in to.
The story is fun, it starts a bit slow and it has some strange gaps but still it is a fun movie to go see in the movie theater.
Or wait till The Holiday
comes out on DVD.

There is one again a new James Bond movie with a new James Bond. This time 007 is Daniel Graig and i have to say he is pretty good at his job as secret agent.
This James Bond movie is based on the first ever James Bond book written by Ian Fleming called Casino Royale
. I have to say that i have read the book but it is a long time ago and i can say not much of the book is used like it was written. But still it a good movie.
In Casino Royale James just got his double 00 status that gives him a licence to kill and he uses it to make some mess and M is not really happy about that.
This James Bond Movie is probably the most “normal” Bond movie i saw in a long time. Not so many impossible things happen and that gives it a more realistic feeling. Also James still has some nice girls around but it doesn’t seem to be at the same level as the movies before.
It is also good to see that BMW is definitely out of the movie and the nice Austin Martins are back. In Casino Royale James drives a DB5 and the brand new DBs and the last one will not be returned to Austin Martin 
There is like in most Bond movies a lot of hidden advertisement like most cars are part of Ford group you will see Land Rovers, Fords and of course Austin Martins. Also Sony is a big payer this time with their Viao Laptops and there Sony Ericson phones.
After seeing this movie i still wonder why Richard Brandson wanted to be in the picture for like 2 seconds (pay attention at the metal detectors at Miami airport).
But let me go tell you a bit about the story line. This Bond movie is about a guy that laundress and invests criminal money. And after James stops a big thing from happening the guy is not happy because the criminals are after him because they want their money back. So that is in short the story of the movie where is the money and where does it ends up 
I would say if you liked James Bond movies in the past you can’t miss this one. Go see it, I promise you that you will like it!

Yesterday evening i saw the movie Coach Carter with Samuel L. Jackson.
The movie is based on a true story. It is about how Ken Carter becomes the Basket ball coach of a school in Richmond California. before he starts coaching the team he wants them to sign a contract that stated that they will have an curtain grade average and that they attend all classes and will sit in the front row in those classes. He also wants the team members to wear a tie when they go to games.
Of course this brings up a lot of problems specially when a lot of the team players have real low grades. Coach Carter stops then teaching Basket ball and even locks down the gym.
The team members then all help in to get the grades up.
That should be all i write other wise i give away to much of the story. But i have to say this is a nice feel good movie that is worth a view.
It is not the typically hollywood movie with the best story but at least this is real!
I would say watch it and enjoy.
Interested in the Coach Carter Movie then check out Amazon for a new or used dvd.
Or check out the official Coach Carter website for more information about the movie.
