Fireplace for the home

I thought this was a joke at first. It's listed under the holiday favorites movies. It's legitimately an hour recording of a fireplace, crackling and all. Oh and there's two episodes so there are TWO fireplaces for you to enjoy.
Not gonna lie it's actually ridiculously relaxing and created a lovely ambiance on my desk at work.
Three stars for us people who don't have fireplaces. 1/2 a star if you have an actual fireplace and are too lazy to light it.

Wet Hot American Summer

This movie was so disappointing! It stars Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Banks, Christopher Meloni, Molly Shannon and a ton of other REALLY funny people! I understand that this movie is a spoof of teen movies, but it's really just not funny. Usually when I watch a comedy and don't think it's funny a few scenes stick out in my mind and the more I think about them the funnier they become. This movie has no scenes like that. It's just so... Boring! It's rated R for language and I give it 1 star.
Chris Meloni earns that star by humping the fridge.

Mirror Mirror

The first time I saw this in the movie theater, I don't know what it was but I was ready for it to be over. It seemed mediocre and boring. Once this hit Netflix, my daughter turned it back on and I was kind of groaning inside but sat down to watch it with her. All of a sudden I was engrossed in Julia Roberts performance. She makes a wonderful evil queen and her costumes were fantastic. In fact everyone's costumes were astounding. 
It is a good film to sit down and watch with the family. 


I still feel critical about the dwarfs performances. They annoyed me a lot during the film. They were off and very cheesy. 

*Kind of a Spoiler* 
There's a music video at the end that left me thinking what the fuh Just happened?

It had the potential to be better than it was. Costumes aside it still deserves a 2.5 Rating.

Werewolf The Beast Among Us


When I see those two star movies I get the feeling like maybe there's a chance it might not be that bad. I've learned my lesson with the 1 star ratings.
The special affects were well done. Depending if you're a werewolf fan you might actually rate it higher. Werewolves. Freaking awesome right?
There's no major actors in it, but they weren't all terrible.There was a person on there who I thought looked like Robert Downy Jr. the most beautiful man in the world. However the actor lost me with his egotistical attitude and his accent was all over the place. I pushed Robert back into his rightful place in my heart, because I couldn't compare him to such a douche bag.
 The werewolf is pretty cool looking. It's terrorizing the village and murdering people like no body's business. The village pulls together hunters to try and stop the beast from annihilating the whole town.The blood and guts were a little over the top. It's like they had to glorify everyone's death with gallons of fake blood.
Interesting twist, not too predictable. I kinda fell asleep towards the end but it was mostly because I was just sleepy lol. I stuck it out though and decided this 2 star could actually be a 3. 
Congratulations Werewolf. You're my first 3 star rating. 

Rated R
