Echelon Conspiracy

A young computer programmer receives anonymous text messages guiding him in the direction of wealth and power. He soon discovers that all his luck can change if he doesn't do everything that the messages demand of him and ends up being hunted by the Government, a crime boss, and "it".

Oh-my-horridness! Yes I said horridness. This movie had such horrid dialogue, and so many plot holes that I don't even know where to begin. It has a bizarrely credible cast--I mean did they read the script before agreeing to this? It is so painful to watch you can't help but laugh, mostly at yourself for staying and seeing it through, hoping that it might get better. Guess what--it never did, in fact it got worse. The outlandish connections, the stupid ending, the whole thing--seriously? I want to be in the room when a couple of producers got together with the script and were like, yeah this will be great--it will work.

Why don't people consult me?

Confessions of a Shopaholic

A young girl dreams of being a writer for chic fashion magazine in New York but accidentally gets a job at a financial magazine by mistake due to her ability to apply simple shopping tactics to big finance. She becomes hugely admired for her fiscal advice all the while she is drowning in her own debt.

Tst tst tst tst...shame on me for falling for this again. I read the book. It was fun. It was cute. It was entertaining. The movie had none of these elements. In fact I was with people that may never again speak to me for making them come and see this flick and forcing them to stay till the end of the credits. It is seriously horrid. The fun articles that you get to read in the book are never developed in the movie and you are left with a horrid Lifetime/ABC Familyesque atrocity.

Don't Do It!!!

He's Just Not That Into You

A handful of vignette's intertwine giving us the ups and downs, ins and outs, and all around chaos of trying to understand the opposite sex.

I was really excited to see this movie, as I was a fan of Greg Behrendt, the author of the book and writer on the Sex and the City series. So needless to say I was a tad disappointed. It has its funny moments. The story line with Justin Long is by far the most original and creative, not to mention entertaining. The rest of it, we have seen before. Funny at times but nothing new.

I think I was most disturbed by the audience that I saw the movie with. Cooing women that seemed shocked and surprised by the most cliche lines and subplots. So irritating--This is why I hate chick flicks! Anyway this one isn't that bad, but no need to rush out and see it.
