Sydney White (2008)

Sydney White hopes to fill in what she believes are fairly big shoes that belonged to her late mother by joining Kappa, her mother’s sorority. As is to be expected, the sorority president is the stereotypical snob who despises Sydney’s natural charm, skill at pledge tasks, and of course, the attraction between Sydney and the Beta president, the Kappa’s former beau. Sydney is humiliated in front of the entire sorority ball but bounces back through befriending 7 less-than-popular nerds down the street. They mutually help each other meet their goals of becoming more “normal”(the dorks) and able to make the campus friendly for all types of students (Sydney). It is a good, relatively clean movie, with mainly the B-word and the A- word the extent of any foul language (nowadays it appears that this is no big deal unfortunately) which many not sit well with younger audiences. But the message of acceptance and empowerment was a positive one and I found myself tearing up a few times!

Cloverfield (2008)

Cloverfield follows five New Yorkers from the perspective of a hand-held video camera. The movie is exactly the length of a DV Tape and a sub-plot is established by showing bits and pieces of video previously recorded on the tape that is being recorded over. The movie starts as a monster of unknown origin destroys a building. As they go to investigate, parts of the building and the head of the Statue of Liberty come raining down. The movie follows their adventure trying to escape and save a friend, a love interest of the main character.

Over Her Dead Body (2008)

Over Her Dead Body is an alright movie, not sure if it’s worth the money, but I’d give it a rental for you if you want to see it or are curious. Eva Longoria just doesn’t have enough star power to make the film work, no offense to those who love her, she just belongs on the small screen over the silver screen. Not to mention the character of Ashley, she seems still not too likable with everything she pulls, or her “gay” friend, Dan, just again, not really likable. Just with some re-writing and proper attention, this film could have been better, but instead we get the average predictable romantic comedy that will leave with with an empty feeling.
