Wall Street 2 1/2 out of 5 stars or sense. Cute I know.
Well, it fell alittle flat for me and hubby and our friends we went with. My husband didn't want to walk out in it, which is a good sign, and it was abit interesting when they showed the backroom things that go on with the Federal Reserve and the banks. And how the banks really screwed things up. The best thing in that movie was the girlfriend Cary Mulligan, she was fantastic in it, and Shia LaBeouf was pretty good too. Michael was good as usual, played his part well. Though he is looking his age in this movie, but still handsome as ever. So I didn't fall asleep and my husband wasn't sighing his head off, so it holds your attention, but could have been so much more. If your really bored one day with nothing to do, and want some popcorn and a diet, go see the movie, but make it the matinee price cause it's alittle overpriced for$11 bucks. and thats my 2 sense.
Update on Smashburger
Ok everyone I have an update on Smashburger. OH MY GOODNESS.....you have to get the sin city burger. It has now replaced the number 1 burger in my book, which was inn and out. Oh my goodness again, it's that good. So many flavors bursting out of that juicey yummy burger. The most surprising thing for me is there is an egg on it. I've not one to mix my burgers and eggs, but oh my goodness again. It's the BOMB. It also has applewood bacon, grilled and haystack onions, cheese and the special smashburger sauce. I've had one two weeks in a row, and could go back tomorrow and eat another one. Yes, it's that good. I've been with friends and hubby who didnt really want to try it, but after I insisted, they were convinced. Still delic are the sweet potato fries and flash pan veggies with special sauce that has a hint of horseradish in it. Just a delicious fast meal, not to expensive. For two of us with drinks and burgers and sides was $22. Check it Out!!
Yes Again. Makes Sense 3 2/3s out of 5. LOL
Well, last night was girls night and we went to Smashburger and to see Yes Again, with Jamie Lee Curtis and Sigorney Weaver. It was very cute. Funny. I actually thought I would be laughing all the way through the movie and it would be so hilarious, But... It wasn't as great and fabulous as I thought it would be. Definately glad I saw it. Some very funny parts and great laughs. The girls looked great. Kind of reminded me of myself in highschool. The girl who didn't quite grow into herself until after highschool, and then blow everyone away at the 20 reunion. LOL. But for a great laugh and some fun you should see it. I wouldn't buy it or see it again, but worth seeing once for sure.

the "Town" with Ben Afflect 4 stars
My hubby was happy, finally a movie for boys!! For girls too, I loved it. Ben Affleck is usually not a very good actor, but he did an excellent job, and he also directed it. The guy from Hurt Locker was in it also, and did an excellent job. Great story line, taken from some truth. Ben was part of a group of bank and truck robbers, but he was a likeable guy. Here I find myself rooting for the bad guy again. LOL They robbed this bank, but the Hurt Locker guy was afraid the bank manager (female) might have seen something, so he wanted to tail her, but he's the read badboy of the movie. Whereas Ben Affleck the softer guy said he'd take care of it, cause he didn't want anymore harm to come to her. So he bumped into her at a laundry mat, and befriended her. They fell for each other. He wants to change his life and get out of the business and start over with her, but thats not happening. The guy from Mad Men is the head dectective, and does a great job too. Lots of action, sweet love story. Shot them up kind of action for the guys and great little storyline for us girls. Definately a go see. 4 out of 5 stars. Stop by and have some Smashburger before you go. I had the Sin City Burger tonight, which I think just replaces Inn and Out for me, it was that good.

The American, with George Cloonie. 1 1/2stars.
This was one of the worst movies I've seen in awhile. It was long and slow and boring. You never found out what organization George worked for, or exactly what his job was. Just that he was on the run and always looking over his shoulder for some swedish people that were after him. You never found out why they were after him either. He was building a gun for some unknown women in Italy, meet a hooker who fell for him after the first orgasm, which she apparently never has with other customers. You never saw any of George's usual charm. The ending was stupid. It definately made no Sense. Don't waste your money. PS George lost to much weight for the movie and he looked old.
