What kind of Blog is this?

I decided to combine two activities, getting in shape on the elliptical machine (hence the title of the blog) and watching movies on my tablet device. What a perfect world! I am a really big fan of the movies and love all genres. You will see discussions on Sci-Fi, Horror, Historical, Romance, Comedy, Drama, Classics, and so on. Watching a movie instantly makes the hour spent working out simply fly by! I have decided to watch movies that I am interested in and then discuss how I enjoyed the movie. Hard to really call it a review seeing that most of the movies have already been released nationally. I will rate each on a scale of 1 to 10 (ten being the best). Most of the movies that I discuss will be movies that appear on Cable TV. So if you were hesitant about watching a particular movie, you can utilize my commentary before you sit down and watch.

Psych: 9


I initially had so much hope for this movie, the description read well and had me intrigued.  I love independent and small production films just as much as the big blockbusters.  It also included Cary Elwes... my favorite from "Kiss The Girls" and "The Princess Bride," so it had to have some type of substance to it right?  I was sadly mistaken.    The biggest failure of the film is that there was too much going on.  There was a serial killer, a crazy lady, a spooky hospital as a backdrop, a creepy doctor, an intrusive but noneffective detective and way too many loose ends.  All of this and it felt like the movie kept dragging.  I kept looking at the clock.

Meet Roslyn, a beautiful yet fragile young woman who takes on the night shift at a recently closed hospital.  Her job is to collect and organize the files to have them relocated to another location for storage.  She is told that it is a boring job and she would be the only one there besides the security guard and the doctor completing the same job that she was about to begin on the Psych floor.  She wanted this shift so that she could spend more time with her husband.  Their relationship is horrible, there is a serial killer on the loose and she believes her husband might be him.  Then there are other crazy things going on and you have no answers at the end of the movie.  You sit there wondering why did you spend the ninety minutes watching.

I give it a 2 out of 10.

Next up is "The Vow."
