Maggie & Sam's Movie Review Lincoln Lawyer

Paul and Jill treated Sammy and I to a special Movie Night out!. We went to an UltraStar Cinema and wow, it was great. They didn't charge more for the ticket pricing and our humans were given big oversized chairs to sit in! This worked out well because we didn't have to sit on them we could sit beside them! Lots of room. Also theatre people would bring by food and nobody noticed when I grabbed the potato chips off the arm rest! Now for the Movie Lincoln Lawyer starring Matthew McConaughey, and Marisa Tomei who were excellent. It is a murder mystery with a twist. Even Sammy could not guess the ending. It is more than just another lawyer movie. Sam and I give it 4 paws and a tail up! Also just a side note. When McConaughey is in a dilemma sometimes the camera motion goes a little crazy, so be prepared!

It's Time For the Oscars!

As everyone knows Mags and I are great movie buffs. So this year we are going to try to pick the movie that is going to win for the Best Motion Picture of the Year. We believe the below movies are the immediate contenders;

1. The King's Speech (Mags & I didn't not get to see it but we believe it will win. We saw the trailers, smashing)
2. Fighter (We loved this one 4 paws and 1 tail up)
3. Inception (Loved this but there was so much going on that it was a little confusing. It gets 3 paws up)
4. The Social Network (Mags and I really liked this true and fascinating story. 4 paws up)
5. The Black Swan (Didn't get to see this but we heard from our neighbor that it was twisted and no cat's meow)!

Personally I agree with Maggie that Secretariat should have been in the running. The horse should have at least received a nomination for it's acting ability!

Hug your animals and hope to see you at the Movies!

The Fighter

Maggie and I went to the movies again, good times! We went to see The Fighter. It’s a real life story of the boxer Mickey Ward who competed for the boxing title of a welterweight. A welterweight is heavier than a lightweight but lighter than a middleweight. The boxer must weigh between 140lbs -147lbs. That is one fit human! Mark Wahlberg played Micky and I felt he did an outstanding job. He even built a gym in his home to work out for the role!

This movie set in the 80’s, really gave me insight into what human families are all about. I loved it! 4 paws and a tail up!

Sammy

Christian Bale threw me for a loop I didn’t know whether I wanted to meow at him or rub up against him to give him some comfort. He played Mickey’s half brother, Dicky . Dicky wanted so much to help Micky but he had a tough enough time trying to help himself. In fact Mickey’s entire family with their big hair was really entertaining. It’s definitely a must see. 4 paws and a tail up!

Mags

Iron Man 2

Okay don't tell anyone but Mags and I snuck into the movie theatre to see Iron Man 2! Truth be told I was in Jill's backpack and Mags was in Timea's purse! (great friend neighbor who sometimes takes care of us when our humans are gone.) Anyway loved it! Awesome special effects and a lot of excitement. Definitely a guys movie. I give it 3 paws up!

Sammy

Lots of action I personally think Robert Downey Jr. is sexy even for a human, meow, meow. There was a story line which I wasn't expecting, and it wasn't half bad! Sam and I are now going to get Paul to rent Iron Man 1, we haven't seen it.
