This movie was not the happy-go-lucky, Rom-Com that I thought I was going to see.

Yes it was funny but that was just to offset the seriousness of the subject being dealt with in this movie.

Yes they are talking about Sex Addiction. But this movie shows that ANY addiction, when not taken care of, confronted and handled will be the detriment of all involved. Whether that be with your family, friends, your job or just yourself. It is a roller coaster ride of raw emotion and a real look at what can come from addiction and how help, once you really want it and really make the decision to change, can be a wonderful life affirming thing.

The cast was great and Pink aka Alecia Moore was AMAZING! Way to go for her first time out in a movie. I can’t wait to see more from her!

Well I was eagerly anticipating this movie. “Catcher in the Rye” has stuck with me since 6th grade when I read it.

I felt connected to Holden Caulfield as I know many millions of people around the world have. I also read Franny And Zooey. Which I also loved and found myself in love with the Glass family. I never read “9 Stories” or “Raise High the Roofbeam Carpenter.” But I hear they are good as well.

Watching this movie was sad. It was getting a look at a hero of mine and finding out that he was covered in body lice and just lived to spread that around to as many people that he could.

I feel the movie fell off point many times. The filmmaker and other authors even, kept saying how WWII created Holden and Catcher and without them it would have never been written. I disagree, since Salinger had 6 chapters of Catcher with him when he stormed the beaches at Normandy. Yes the war messed him up mentally. Yes he saw atrocities. Yes he was heart broken. But he was also a major perv. Always desiring women between the ages of 14-18 or women who looked like that.

Even when he had a woman he was busy writing endless love letters to young women all over the country. Maybe if he had spent more time on his books they would have been done sooner.

I guess it doesn’t take away from his body of work that he was such a jerk but it muddies it a bit for me.

The film was good enough. Frankly it was cut together like it was meant to air on Television as a part of a 3 or 4 part mini-series. But very informative.

Dear Lake Bell!!! YOU ARE MY FRAKING HERO!!!

I LOVED this movie to pieces! It is a movie about the movie industry and LA and life without being over the top or lame.

It takes into account all of the LAness of the business and doesn’t over or under do it.

It is also a brilliant movie about family and how families relate to each other. As a woman with a sister I felt like I was watching scenes from my own relationship with my sister play out on the screen. The way you captured the bond as well as the humor and humanity was brilliant.

Sister code!

I actually wanted to see this movie. I haven’t read the books but in recent years I have become a mini super fan of the YA fantasy/Sci Fi genre. I enjoy the magic and other parallel worlds that they talk about.

From the trailers I knew this was going to be a special effects bonanza and I was actually looking forward to that.

After watching the movie I felt totally ripped off. There was SO MUCH story that could have been explored there. SO MUCH. Really good stuff that could have been focused on and made more relevant. Instead we get Jonathan Rhys Meyers with the WORLD’S WORST hair extensions doing his WORST  80’s B-Movie bad guy impersonation. WHAT?? So bad. AVOID at all costs.

Dear Vin Diesel, I love you. Really I do. I think everything about you is fantastic and I actually think you are a good actor.

But could you please so me a favor and not go all Schwarzenegger on us with these really bad one liners and silly facial expressions?

I knew what Riddick was and is. I had no huge expectations going into this thing. I knew it was going to be sci-fi/horror fluff. And it was.

The story was THIN and the jokes were tired but the action was good and the cast was great. If you want to see nasty aliens and some good action then check this out.
