Red Box It ♥ Alex Cross

Alex Cross didn't really feel like a big budget movie to me... it was kind of like a cop show on TV.  Maybe this is because I watch too many cop shows on TV?  I mean Alex Cross was good, entertaining and had an intriguing storyline, but it seemed of quality only slightly better than TV.  And maybe that's not a bad thing either.  Maybe we just have really excellent TV.

So let's get to the movie deets: Tyler Perry is Alex Cross.  Now I haven't read the books... although, I heard the movie is nothing like the books (sounds familiar, right?)  But I think Tyler Perry did an A+ job as Alex Cross.  We also had a great villain Matthew Fox (hello, Party of Five star!).  Fox was a very convincing bad guy.

And Edward Burns... I haven't seen him in a minute either.  I love his unique voice.  

The verdict?  Alex Cross is definitely worth the Red Box price!  Some would probably think it's a bit cheesy, but I think we all know I'm OK with a little cheese... So have you seen Alex Cross?  What did you think?  (OH and CONGRATS on getting through Monday... I feel like this was my first real Monday in quite a while and it was a little rough.)

At the Cinema ♥ Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor

After seeing the trailer for Tyler Perry's latest movie Temptation, I knew I had to see it.




This movie was not what I expected at all, but it definitely has a message.  An important message, something a lot of movies today are lacking.

I thought about what I could write about Temptation without giving away the storyline and what else came to mind, but the lovely Kim Kardashian?

Kim Kardashian plays Ava who is the main character Judith's bitchy coworker and makeover fairy godmother.  During some of Kardashian's scenes, I wanted to see her own her bitchiness a bit more.  It was kind of like she was trying to be bitchy, but not too mean.  I'd rather just see her be a complete bitch.  I know she has it in her!  But she did have a great funny scene in the movie and overall did a pretty good job.  Could she use some acting lessons?  Probably, but when you're a Kardashian you can land movie roles without acting school.

Did you see Temptation?  What did you think?  Did you love it?  Hate it?
