If your a fan of the X-Men movies then this show might be right up you alley, otherwise skip it.
Wolverine is one of the most memorable characters in the X-Men series and in this movie we are introduced to how Wolverine came to be.
Shortly after losing the love of his life Logan (Hugh Jackman) goes on a hunt for the man who killed her seeking justice. Upon the start of his quest Logan is met by an old friend who says that he can make him indestructible so the he can be successful in his quest.
After being injected with a metal substance that practically makes Logan an unstoppable mass of rage, he is on the hunt for revenge and is met with other's with powers such as his. Thus begins the legacy of Wolverine.
This Movie was okay, for someone who is a fan it might be right up your alley, but otherwise proves to be nothing but a noisey mess of action sequences.
One and a half stars * 1/2

Jennifer Aniston and Aaron Eckhart shine in the latest romantic movie to hit theaters.
Burke Ryan (Aaron Eckhart) is an on the rise so called Dr. Phil who helps people cope with the lose of loved ones and is in Seattle for a week to host one of his many self help group seminars in the hope's to help others along with their greiving process, but little does the group know Burke is suffering himself but hopes that he can escape his problems by helping others with theirs.
3 years prior to Burke Ryans fame he lost his wife in a tragic accident and has not been able to forgive himself for what has happened, and ends up avoiding his in-laws because he feels her death was his fault.
While in Seattle, Burke meets Eloise (Jennifer Aniston) at the hotel he is conducting his seminar. After a first meeting with Eloise, she makes it clear she wants nothing to do with him thus giving him a classic brush off, but as with all love stories they decide to overcome their dislike for each other and give it a try.
As Burke and Eloise get to know one another better, Eloise finds out why Burke has been burdened all this time and feels that she needs to help him overcome his struggles, and all the while the two start to realize that when you least expect it, love is waiting right around the corner.
There are sweet moments in this film and there are also tear jerker moments which took me by suprise. I didn't expect to get teary eyed in a film such as this. All in all this film was touching and I really enjoyed Jennifer Aniston and Aaron Eckhart in their roles.
Great Movie

I finally was able to see this movie and it was amazing! From the Artic to the African desert we spend one year in the life of the animals that share the planet we call earth.
In this film we get to follow the expidition of 3 families across the earth. The Polar Bears, Humpback Whales, The African Elephants (and some other unique animals) in their quest to find a new life after a period of winter.
It's truly neat to see what these different groups of animals go through in order to survive each day. Not to mention the long treck they must face each year.
I'm not a nature fan by any means, but this particular movie has heart and the scenery in this movie is amazing!

Make sure next earth day to catch the latest Disney Nature film Oceans.
Since we are approching the fun holiday that is Halloween, I thought I would throw out some fun film suggestions that might get you in the mood.
This particular film, The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad combines two of Walt Disney's classic short movies. The one that is best suited for the holiday would be that of Ichabods tale, The Legend of Sleepy Hallow.
The Legend of Sleepy Hallow is a classic tale that will get anyone pumped for Halloween!
Make sure to check it out!
We went and saw All About Steve and loved it!
Mary Horowitz (Sandra Bullock) is a crossword constructor for the Sacramento news paper, and when it comes to her job she is very good at it but when it comes to relationships, that's another story.
When Mary's parents set her up on a blind date with a guy named Steve (Bradley Cooper), it's love at first sight! At least for Mary it is.
Upon meeting Mary, Steve creates a reason as to why he cannot continue on their date, that Mary thinks is going so well. Steve tells Mary he needs to be in Boston to cover the latest in breaking news (as he is a camera man for the CCN news network) and leaves Mary with the false impression that he wishes she could come with him but can't because she has a job.
When Mary loses her job at the Sacramento news paper for creating a crossword puzzle titled; All About Steve, she gets the idea that now she can fulfil Steve's wish and go with him wherever his job may take him!
Now Mary is out on the prowl to find the man of her dreams, and she end's up meeting new friends along the way, and discovers that she just might not need a man to complete her life.
When Steve's co-worker gets Mary involved with one of the biggest news scoop's, Steve will discover that by Mary just herself and not caring what others think, that just may be enough to have the life you really want.
The thing that is charming about this movie is Mary. She plays a charming and heartwarming character that teaches us, it's o.k. to just be who you are.
The message of the movie is touching, heartwarming and on top of that, it was one enjoyable comedy.
