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.

Vampires Suck


So twelve years ago when I was pregnant with my first child, my husband and I had decided to see every movie that summer that we could.  We were too well aware of the fact that our adult movie nights would soon be a thing of the past.  One particular movie we saw, was Scary Movie.  We never paid attention to any of the previews that came out about the movie, we were just excited to finally get out of the house.  Low and behold, we literally left the movie theater with stomach pains from laughing so hard.  It was clever and hysterical. 

So there have been numerous attempts to repeat the same formula that the Wayans brothers used to drive audiences to tears, but I have yet to watch one that could capture the same magic.  This movie, unfortunately does not make the cut either.  This spoof on all things vampire was simply predictable and despite a few laughs here and there, it is not a film to rush home to watch.  The primary focus of the spoof is "Twilight" with hints to "True Blood" and the television series, "The Vampire Diaries."

I give it a 4 out of 10.

Next up is the 1995 film, "Just Cause."
