Comedy: Spring Breakdown- 2007


Desperate to spice up their boring lives, three thirtysomething women (Amy Poehler, Rachel Dratch and Parker Posey) set off for a vacation on a tropical island known for its raucous Spring Break parties. But instead of recapturing their youth, they wind up mothering a senator's shy daughter (Amber Tamblyn). As they help the awkward girl grow more comfortable in her own skin, they, too, learn to embrace aging with wit, joy and grace. (Netflix.com)


Grade: B


This was a pretty decent movie that gave me a few chuckles, and a few good laughs. The idea behind the storyline was pretty good, and the acting was good, all three of the main characters are ALWAYS funny,.. but,.... it just felt like it was missing something to me, and honestly I can't put my finger on it. This movie was a TOTAL Fem-Fest, and I can't imagine a guy (even a gay one) being interested in watching this, but that's ok. This is a chick flick that I think girls of all ages could watch, and enjoy.

Drama: The Virgin Suicides 1999

This is a story about five sisters, whose incredibly overbearing, and detrimentally over protective mother, causes the daughters she is trying to protect, to turn down a dark road. So what happens when a mother is too involved?

Grade: B-


This was a pretty slow moving film, but interesting enough to WANT to fallow it. This was a pretty depressing look into these girls lives, and the end result is pretty horrifying. If you're interested in watching a movie that will not make you feel warm and fuzzy inside, but will make you think a little bit, this is the one for you.
