Reviews: Recent Movies I've Been Watching

I am "queen of the blockbuster, " since being a mommy I haven't been able to use nor afford the luxury of going to the movie theater thus I wait for the dvd and furthermore since I can't see paying $20 for something that may suck and I will never watch again, I RENT!!!

I absolutely love the Blockbuster Rewards Program where I can rent 3 movies and get 3 non-new releases for FREE from monday-wednesday. Plus if I rent movies it accumulates to more free ones as well. Yay!! So I walk away with 6 movies for $10-$15

This leads me to my review list of most recently rented of my blockbuster travels.

The Last House on the Left { I liked it but it was just no where near the original. They toned down the violence, I'm pretty sure the story was altered although it has been awhile since I've seen the other one, and they just don't make horror movies like they used to. My big issue always seems to boil down to the lack of music in the new horror movies. The road does not "lead to nowhere" in this movie and you don't have to remind yourself that "it's only a movie, only a movie, only a movie." ...and if you did not catch that last reference you need to look up the trailer for the old movie, lol;) Expectations high but was a let down, ***

I Love You, Man! { This movie had many mouth dropping, shocking moments(which takes alot for me). To me that's a good thing, but people like my grandmother would absolutely hate it. It was a little slow in the building but it kept me entertained enough to watch it and it picked up later and more than made up for it in the ending. I have to have a good ending even if it isn't on the logical closier point(not saying this isn't, just wanted to make a note for future reference). I also enjoy a good movie that can be fun and can apply to real life situations. I would definitely buy it in the future since I do plan on watching it again. ****

Miss March { The movie is a bit odd and unrealistic but it does have some fun and interesting scenes that may get a laugh or two. I did enjoy it but I probably won't buy it though. **

The Haunting in Connecticut { The movie was good......but.....I watched the documentary first. BAD IDEA! This killed the thrill of the horror for me. You know that thing in your head that gives you the idea that everything in the movie must be real since it's based on a true story. Well, after watching the documentary I then knew what really transpired supposedly but then as I watched the movie found all the differences which then changed the whole movie and believeability for me and the end was even wrong. The movie probably would have had a major impact if not for this main fact but alas I can not get over the deceptions. ***

Rave: Domino's Pizza Tracker


How cool is this?! You can track your pizza online order from start to finish. Literally, the "pizza tracker" updates within 60 second accuracy of what is going on with your food once you place your order. It told us who was prepping the order, when it was being baked, when it was being boxed, and when and who was delivering it. It went into delivery mode at 9:56pm and the driver arrived at 10:02pm. Now why can't my mail be this accurate?
Plus you can complete a survey to ensure it was at the highest quality that it can be. I actually question whether or not i could get to the Domino's within 6 minutes from my house. Very impressed.

Rave: Irish Spring Cool Relief Scrub

I just tried this product for the first time and I got to say it exceeded my expectations. Many products claim cool and refreshing and quite honestly most of the time I think they are referring to a scent rather than a verb.
Well, I got to say it actually tingled my skin, was cool and refreshing, and the best part of all for me...I didn't have an allergic reaction to it. This in and of itself it a miracle since I tend to be allergic to most soaps and detergents. The only detergent I have ever been able to use without scratching my skin off is Tide and growing up my parents always bought Irish Spring. So I figured I had a good shot at not being allergic to this scrub. I was right and I just had to rave about this product. A+
