Netflix Stars


An Education - 1/5 stars

Creepy, in an "ick" sort of way. While the movie captured the setting of 1961 England, we felt uncomfortable watching the interaction between the lead characters.

My Life In Ruins - 1/5 stars

Overly schmaltzy and predictable, gave it 25 minutes and finally chucked it out of the DVD player. So loved "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and had hopes we would like this, too - even at the risk of stereotyping. Nia Vardalos actually looked better with a few more pounds on her. She appeared scrawny and unengaging in this movie.




From Paris With Love - 5/5
Looking for a fast-paced, shoot-em-up thriller? Good match-up with John Travolta and Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Could be potential for sequels? Be sure to listen and watch for the subtle previous John Travolta movie references.
