Zoom

Zoom. . .just ZOOM right past this movie, unless you have a 5 year old, maybe 8, 11 if your lucky. *sigh*

Tim Allen plays a washed up super hero and he should have stayed put. The acting is two-bit, the dialog poor, and the effects dismal. This was the movie my daughter, who is 11 wanted to see. Did she like it. Yes, but this is Red's Reviews, not Little Red's Reviews. ohhh wait, damn that is the title isn't it. . . okay this isn't Red's Red's Little Red Reviews.

I felt sorry for the young actors and actresses that looked up to the older men and women in this movie, the kids were smarter than the adults, thank god, or who knows if the world would have been saved!

They children are misfits, their parents give them up, we never see that happen, they just sorta show up (the kids - not the parents, they do at the end, so at we least we know they have some). . . They are "trained" by washed up Zoom and then work as a team to save the world, they could have saved me 11.00, but I do thank them for the time spent with my daughter, I just wish it had been in front of the silver screen watching Ant Bully.

Devil Wears Prada


Anne Hathaway and Merle Streep. . .two lovely ladies, who act their age in this teenie show.


The Devil Wears Prada was the movie I watched last Friday. I know I'm supposed to do the reviews as soon as I watch them, but I've been tired and worn out, for reasons why you'll have to go to this blog Essence of Red, because this is my movie review blog. :-D


Anyway. . .this is a chick flick, teenie bopper movie. This is NOT a guy film and barely is a grown up, adult female film. It is good. If you like Princess Diaries 1 and 2 as well as Ella Enchanted, Cinderella. . .you'll like this movie. My daughter is 12 and loved it.

Anne Hathaway plays a journalist that strives to make her place in as a Magazine's Editors Assistant. The question is how much is too much. From what I heard in the ladies room, after this movie was over, the book was better than the movie and they leave A LOT of stuff out, but since I didn't read the book. . . I don't know. For what I saw, it was your typical teen beat love story where the grass always looks greener on the other side of the fence, but in this case we're in New York, not Granddad's farm. ;-)
