There are many 'scary' movies that insert a bit of comical relief here and there. Haunting in Connecticut, Signs, and The Evil Dead, just to name a few. A wonderful new edition to this list is the late summer hit: You're Next!
Now, for those of you who don't enjoy horror comedies and prefer straight horror, I don't want to discourage you. This movie has plenty scary in and of itself. Tons of blood, jump scares, and yes, creepy men in animal masks hunting people with cross bows!
The movie starts with an initial murder to real you in. From there it moves to a family reunion. In celebration of their parents anniversary, four siblings, who are barley on speaking terms, and their significant others get together.
You can tell right off the bat that one of the brothers is a total jerk wad. Granted the other siblings aren't very willing to stand up to him.
Once dinner starts, it all goes down hill. I mean, what's worse than an arrow to the brain to kill the mood, am I right?
Complete and total carnage follows, thankfully one of the brothers girlfriends takes charge! (Yay! girl power.)
Through all the blood and gore there are amazing snibbits of comedy and by the time the credits roll you won't be able to contain your laughter.
***Spoiler Alert ........but not really****
When I saw the police officer I could have sworn it was Officer Dewey. Yes, the one from the Scream franchise!
Last note is this: I don't mind R rated movies as long as they are rated R for violence and language. When I see a movie that has a nasty, uncomfortable scene, I immediately loose interest in it. Thankfully, this movie only has one semi-awkward part which happens to be right in the beginning. It's all smooth sailing from there!
I hope you get the chance to see it soon!! Let me know what you think!

This weeks movie gives Snow White a modern college age twist! Amanda Bynes stars as Sydney White, a tomboy more interested in comic books than getting into the sorority her mother was apart of.
Turns out that's not much of a problem since she ends up getting kicked out by the 'evil queen'. With nowhere left to go since all the dorms are taken Sydney finds herself at the front step of the Vortex, a decrepit overflow home for students, which just so happens to house the most dorky kids on campus.
Sydney wont let being an outcast get her down, she is bound and determined to stay positive. What better way to stay positive than to run for student council?? Sydney and her seven dorks run under the ticket name: Freedom to the Seventh Power!
Sydney is able to make loads of new and interesting friends and finds out that being in outcast is what she does best!
The big question is: can the Seventh Power win the election when they are running against none other than the evil queen bee herself??
Find out for yourself!
The most enduring part of this movie is defiantly how the seven dorks start to be able to interact with people better. With Sydney there to encourage them, they realize that being a dork is kind of... cool. :)
Tell me what you think!

Hey guys.... this is defiantly well overdue.
My birthday was back in June, I got 3 new movies and I would like to tell you about them!
From my parents I got the movies:
Grave of the Fireflies
Arthur
From my sister I got:
Warm Bodies
:) I was so very excited about all of them!
Sorry this is so late and honestly, so random! Do you guys get movies as presents? What was the coolest present you ever got?
Hey guys.
Just where have you been Rose!?
I know, I know, I have defiantly been missing this summer. I am sorry for being gone so long... but that is in the past, I'm back :) and wouldn't it be fun to find out just what in the world I have been up to?
One word. WORK. My job has been keeping me pretty busy this summer, which as it turns out makes me pretty tiered as well.
So I come home and low and behold I am too tired to watch a movie.
However, I have been watching my fair share of YouTube videos... well more than my fair share.
I've become pretty entranced with Rhett and Link and Pewdiepie. But that's besides the point.
To be honest with you I haven't been keeping a good track of the small amount of movies I actually have watched but I can give you a rough estimate.
- The Conjuring
- Despicable Me 2
- Jurassic Park (who knows how many times >_<)
- The Land Before Time II
- Sling Blade
- Robots
Like I said, not very good record keeping recently. :)

From that information you might be abe to conclude that I wont have much free time on my hands since the only time I'm at home any more I'm either eating, sleeping or helping out with whacting my nephews!
However, no matter how many movies I whatch I will keep you guys updated!
- New in Town
- World War Z

P.s. I'm sorry I've been gone so much guys, work is crazy!
Ok, this week we are talking about Finding Nemo. I feel like I don't really need to explainer this one, but just in case anyone hasn't seen this for some reason or another I'll give a quick run down.
The movie is about Marline, a single father clown fish, who is searching the entire ocean for his son, Nemo who was fish-napped by an Australian diver/dentist.
Marlin meets Dory, a forgetful but lovable fish whose personality is brought to life by comedian Ellen DeGegeneres.
Dory and Marlin meet all sorts of strange characters on the search to find Nemo including three vegetarian sharks, a swarm of mouthy sliver fish, some mellow turtles and a whale!
All the while Nemo is trying to help the inhabitants of the dentists fish tank escape to the harbor!
The question is: will Dory and Marlin find Nemo?
You'll just have to watch it to find out!
Now the reason I bring up Finding Nemo is because I have seen it quit a few times in the past weeks. Let me just say that Nemo never really gets old.
I saw it in theatres when it first came out for my birthday party. Ever since then I have loved it. The characters are relatable and the whole concept is heartwarming. A father stopping at nothing to find his son.
So if for any reason you haven't seen this a movie, give it a try because it defiantly has the Rose seal of approval!!
Tell me what you thought of the movie!

Premiered: 2003
