Clyde Shelton is an upstanding family man whose wife and daughter are brutally murdered during a home invasion. When the killers are caught, Nick Rice, a hotshot young Philadelphia prosecutor, is assigned to the case. Over his objections, Nick is forced by his boss to offer one of the suspects a light sentence in exchange for testifying against his accomplice. Fast forward ten years. The man who got away with murder is found dead and Clyde Shelton coolly admits his guilt. Then he issues a warning to Nick: Either fix the flawed justice system that failed his family, or key players in the trial will die. Soon Shelton follows through on his threats, orchestrating from his jail cell a string of spectacularly diabolical assassinations that can be neither predicted nor prevented. Philadelphia is gripped with fear as Shelton’s high-profile targets are slain one after another and the authorities are powerless to halt his reign of terror. Only Nick can stop the killing, and to do so he must outwit this brilliant sociopath in a harrowing contest of wills in which even the smallest misstep means death. With his own family now in Shelton’s crosshairs, Nick finds himself in a desperate race against time facing a deadly adversary who seems always to be one step ahead. Yahoo Movie Review

Mary’s Review – This movie was quite a surprise for me. I didn’t know anything about it but my daughter mentioned that when I saw the trailer I thought it to be interesting. Well interesting it was. I really liked the premise of the story as well as the actors.I have quickly become a fan of Jamie Foxx and I love the guy from 300 whose name escapes me. That being said the two of them in a movie together, well that is a bonus. Although for the most part they do not share the screen together, you like the play of characters, they seem to connect. I love a good thriller and this dark thriller really delivered for me. I will have to give this movie a thrilling 3 nachos!

Mary’s Review – Well thank goodness we saw this movie after the Stepfather. We really enjoyed this one so; the evening was not a complete loss. This movie was clever and funny. The special effects and the characters were original. We especially loved the main vampire played by John C. Riley he was great! My youngest daughter read a few of these books when she was younger and thinks they would make great movies too. We hope this film will do well enough that they will consider making some of the other books in the series into movies as well. I will give this movie 2 nachos and a jalapeno.

Mary’s Review – This movie was bad. It was like a really bad lifetime movie.Alright ladies you know what I am talking about. One of my own guilty pleasures is watching Lifetime movies that are so bad they are good. My favorite has to be Mother May I Sleep with Danger. It is the worst best Lifetime movie. My daughters watch that one too every time it comes on! This movie however was just bad….I will have to give it only a fizzled out jalapeno.

Mary’s Review – Although this movie was just okay I found it was genius to have James Gandolfini play one of the monsters. He has a great character voice and a wonderful presence. I thought it was him from the beginning, but my daughter said” No you are crazy!!”

Well at the end of the movie as we watched the credits, low and behold there was his name! I love it when we as parents can tell our kids, see I was right! Well as the movie only faired 2 nachos, however, telling my kids I am right feels more like 3 nachos!!!

 

The Nacho Ladies Review – Paranormal Activity

 

 

Starring: Katie Featherston, Micah Sloat, Michael Bayouth
Science Fiction/Fantasy and Thriller
1 hr. 39 min.
Rated: R for language.

After a young, middle class couple moves into what seems like a typical suburban “starter” tract house, they become increasingly disturbed by a presence that may or may not be demonic, but is certainly most active in the middle of the night. Especially when they sleep. Or try to. Yahoo Movie Review

Mary’s Review – They are saying it is the scariest movie ever made. I don’t think so. In fact although at times we were at the edge of our seats it seemed a little boring. It reminded me a little of Blair Witch Project. My daughters were very scared, my daughters boyfriend Chris and I thought it was a little fake. The ending was very creepy but as for the rest of the film it was so-so. I will have to say whoever did the PR for this film did a great job. I heard this morning it grossed a pretty high profit. The movie was not that expensive to make. Somewhere in the realm of $500,000 dollars…..I can only tell you for me it is no more than a 1 nacho movie. If you want to watch a scary movie how about The Ring? Or even Bug? You can find either of these out on DVD.

Tired of being pushed into beauty pageants by her parents, Texas teen Bliss finds herself after joining a female roller derby team.
Yahoo Movie Review

Mary’s Review – This was a fun movie. I really like imperfect characters and this story was full of them. While watching these roller derby girls I had to look back on my own childhood memories of the roller derby. I was a huge fan of it then and I wish it was still on. I have a memory of my girlfriend Tammy Howe and I roller skating all over the neighborhood. One day we were showing off what great and talented skaters we were and I decided to Roller skate down the steep driveway on one skate holding the other leg straight up in the air and holding my arms out like an airplane. I started down the drive and low and behold the front wheels flew off my skate and I took a nose dive!!! Tammy was cracking up so hard that I couldn’t cry so instead we both began hysterical fits of laughter!!! “What a show off” she would say and we laughed so hard that there was no noise coming out of either of our mouths! I always thought I was good enough to beat anyone in the neighborhood but apparently I was not, at least not that afternoon…Oh well……. I will give this movie 2 nachos and a jalapeno!! And Tammy Howe wherever you are I miss you!!!

 

The Nacho Ladies Review – The Invention of Lying

 

 

Starring: Ricky Gervais, Jennifer Garner, Jonah Hill, Louis C.K., Jeffrey Tambor
1 hr. 39 min.
Rated: PG-13 for language including some sexual material and a drug reference.

In an alternate reality, lying — even the concept of a lie — does not even exist. Everyone — from politicians to advertisers to the man and woman on the street — speaks the truth and nothing but the truth with no thought of the consequences. But when a down-on-his-luck loser named Mark suddenly develops the ability to lie, he finds that dishonesty has its rewards. In a world where every word is assumed to be the absolute truth, Mark easily lies his way to fame and fortune. But lies have a way of spreading, and Mark begins to realize that things are getting a little out of control when some of his tallest tales are being taken as, well, gospel. With the entire world now hanging on his every word, there is only one thing Mark has not been able to lie his way into: the heart of the woman he loves.Yahoo Movie Review

Mary’s Review – This movie did not fair so well for me. I thought it was boring, which is a shame, because there were some great actors in this film. When the premise is that nobody knows how to lie, they lost the idea that you do not have to lead a boring life because you only tell the truth. What a crock! Please don’t waste your time on this disappointment. I can only give this movie 1 nacho.

 

The Nacho Ladies Review – Zombieland

1 hr. 22 min.
Rated: R for zombie horror violence/gore and language.

Two men have found a way to survive a world overrun by zombies. Columbus is a big wuss — but when you’re afraid of being eaten by zombies, fear can keep you alive. Tallahassee is an AK-totin’, zombie-slayin’ badass whose single determination is to get the last Twinkie on earth. As they join forces with Wichita and Little Rock, who have also found unique ways to survive the zombie mayhem, they will have to determine which is worse: relying on each other or succumbing to the zombies. Yahoo Movie Review

Mary’s Review – I didn’t want to like this movie, in fact when my daughter asked to go I only went because I needed a review. The first 5 minutes were beyond gross. I asked my daughter, Meg,”What on earth did you bring me to see”? Then it happened, first mild amusement, followed by somewhat funny and before it was over this movie was cracking me up! I actually loved this movie! Not being a fan of Woody Harrelson I wasn’t expecting him to be so wonderful in this crazy movie but it worked. He was awesome. When they get to Hollywood you can’t miss the cameo. I won’t tell you who it is. It’s more fun that you see for yourself, but he is a hoot. Please go see this movie if you get a chance. I will have to give this movie 3 nachos. Ole!!

1 hr. 48 min.
Rated: R for strong horror violence and language.

But their memory loss pales in comparison to the problem of the murderous warriors on board their ship who don’t want to leave anyone alive. Yahoo Movie Review

Mary’s Review – This was a weird sci-fi movie but I liked it! I am not a big fan of sci-fi per say but this one was pretty good. It was a little hard to follow with the fast camera shots and screeching and hollering as well as it was pretty dark most of the time. It still had a good plot in true sci-fi spirit. My daughter Megan will be going back with her friends. I will have to give this movie 2 nachos.

 

The Nacho Ladies Review – Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs — in 3D

1 hr. 21 min.
Rated: PG for brief mild language.

A scientist tries to solve world hunger only to see things go awry as food falls from the sky in abundance. Based on the best selling children’s book of the same name. Yahoo Movie Review

Mary’s Review – Well as like most mom’s from the 90’s I have read this story to my girls over and over again….It was fun to take them to go see this movie as we were not sure how it would transfer on the big screen. Boy did it! We really enjoyed the story, tweaked as it was. It was fabulous!

I can recommend this to my friends and anyone with children or if you still have the kid in you, (like Councilman Jim Frazier), you will want to see this one. It starts a little slow but once it gets going it is a lot of fun! I will have to give this one 2 orders of nachos and an order of jalapenos to rain on down this review

But her attitude begins to change when Sandino, a handsome Mexican immigrant looking for work, moves into April’s basement room. Making amends for his own troubled past, Sandino challenges April to open her heart. And April soon realizes she must make the biggest choice of her life: between her old ways with Raymond and the new possibilities of family, faith… and even true love. Yahoo Movie Review

Mary’s Review – Tyler Perry does it again in this movie. He seems to have a formula that works, at least for me. With his funny antics mixed with serious issues and great music including gospel which always leaves you feeling good when you leave. I know his movies are not epic or even great but I think he has something to say and he just, well, he cracks me up!!! Go see this movie if you want to laugh and even cry a little. I give this movie 2 nachos and a spicy jalapeño

Mary’s Review – Yuck. Don’t waste your money or your time. The cast was horrible and who told Bruce Willis’s daughter she can act? I won’t even tell you how bad the others were. I will have to give this murder fest a dead review.

The time is the too-near future.

But as our world fell to pieces, a mission began to salvage the legacy of civilization; a group of small creations was given the spark of life by a scientist in the final days of humanity, and they continue to exist post-apocalypse. With their group so few, these “stitchpunk” creations must summon individual strengths well beyond their own proportions in order to outwit and fight against still-functioning machines, one of which is a marauding mechanized beast. Yahoo Movie Review

Mary’s Review I really liked this movie. I know the critics tore it up a bit but I have got to tell you the animation was great! That Tim Burton keeps you captivated. Where does he get the ideas for these movies? It’s a mystery in itself. Well to hell with the critics go see it for yourself and draw your own conclusions. My brother is an artist so I think I really relate to the whole artistic part of this film as I said the animation was fantastic. I will give this movie 2 nachos and a jalapeño. By the way another animated movie you may not want to miss is The Nightmare before Christmas as it is coming out again in October in 3D!!!!!!! We see it every time it comes back

 

The Nacho Ladies Review – All About Steve

 

 

Starring: Sandra Bullock, Thomas Haden Church, Bradley Cooper, Ken Jeong, D.J. Qualls
1 hr. 38 min.
Rated: PG-13 for sexual content including innuendos.

Mary Horowitz is a cruciverbalist – a crossword puzzle constructor. Her brain spins at warp speed with an endless stream of arcane information. She can come up with the perfect word – and dozens with the same meaning – at a moment’s notice, but “normal” behavior eludes her. For Mary, nothing is typical, especially relationships. When she is set up on a blind date with handsome cable-news cameraman Steve, Mary thinks the chemistry is undeniable – that Steve is “the one.” Steve, on the other hand, thinks Mary is crazy. Mary, who just knows she’s found her soul mate, decides to do anything and go anywhere to be with him. She begins to pursue Steve relentlessly as he crisscrosses the country, covering breaking news stories. Mary’s escalating infatuation with Steve is encouraged by the self-serving actions of news reporter Hartman Hughes, who enjoys torturing his insolent cameraman at every opportunity. With Mary never far behind and Hartman urging her on, Steve becomes increasingly unhinged. But when Mary becomes embroiled in the news story of the year, Steve and Hartman begin to see her differently. Hartman is plagued by guilt, knowing his game of one-upmanship with Steve has placed her squarely in harms way, while Steve is feeling his own pangs of remorse at his callous behavior. Despite the media storm surrounding her, Mary with her upbeat, unaffected manner brings together a small community of new friends. And all who encounter Mary will realize that sometimes the ones who don’t fit in are the ones who really stand out. Yahoo Movie Review

Rated: R for strong violent/gruesome accidents, language and a scene of sexuality.

On what should have been a fun-filled day at the races, Nick O’Bannon has a horrific premonition in which a bizarre sequence of events causes multiple race cars to crash, sending flaming debris into the stands, brutally killing his friends and causing the upper deck of the stands to collapse on him. When he comes out of this grisly nightmare Nick panics, persuading his girlfriend, Lori, and their friends, Janet and Hunt, to leave… escaping seconds before Nick’s frightening vision becomes a terrible reality. Thinking they’ve cheated death, the group has a new lease on life, but unfortunately for Nick and Lori, it is only the beginning. As his premonitions continue and the crash survivors begin to die one-by-one–in increasingly gruesome ways–Nick must figure out how to cheat death once and for all before he, too, reaches his final destination.  Yahoo Movie Review

Mary’s Review I love a good 3D movie. However this was not one of them. I know, I know, why go see a movie like this in the first place you ask? Well let me tell you why. I have a 19 year old daughter that loves this sort of movie and I love to spend time with her. I will go to see just about anything if I think my kids will come with me. The fact that your teenaged kids will tag along with the old mom makes me happy. They even bring friends and boyfriends with us. How lucky can a mom get? Well enough about that, the movie was really dumb and nonsensical but most terror movies are. I will give this movie 1 nacho for the 3D of it.

Mary’s Review  – I wanted it to be good. I like the actors in this film but it didn’t translate well. It could have been really funny but the director got in the way. The timing was off and to me with comedy timing is everything. I hate to give it a bad review but what can I say it was bad. One nacho and a jalapeno is all I can afford this movie.

Rated: R for strong brutal bloody violence throughout, terror, disturbing graphic images, language, and some crude sexual content and nudity.

Picks up at the exact moment the first movie stopped and follow the aftermath of Michael Myers murderous rampage through the eyes of heroine Laurie Strode. -Yahoo Movie Review

Mary’s Review These words come to mind when I think of this movie…. gory, unnerving, crunchy and sick…..What else can I say. I will have to give it 1 jalapeño. I never really got what was going on other than this man was one sick puppy. Rob Zombie can’t be all there either. I think I will skip any other movies he makes. I do like a scary movie but it has to at least have some semblance of a plot.

Rated: PG

This epic from 1981 is the first film in the Indiana Jones franchise, and pits Archeologist and university professor Indiana Jones against the Nazis, in a search for the mythic Lost Ark of the Covenant. Indiana must retrieve the Ark before it gets into the hands of Adolf Hitler who plans on using its power to guarantee his global conquest.

Mary’s Review – So I am sure some of you are asking why this movie? This came out 28 years ago! Well we had the opportunity to go to the El Campanil Theatre in old downtown Antioch to see this film. This theatre is from days gone by with its balconies and gilded walls. The acoustics were not the best as they don’t have surround sound like the new theatres but there are some nostalgic feelings one gets when you are watching the movie. What a blast! Jim & Janet I wish you could have been there. If anyone out there lived in Concord as a kid you probably will remember the old Eanine Theatre. Well this theatre reminds me of that. We had so much fun and guess what? This movie has held up pretty well too! I will have to give it 3 nachos and a jalapeno just for the fun of it. I wish they could have shown an old serial with it …Please if anyone out there has anything to do with the El Campanil keep these movies coming!!! I will be looking forward to visiting this old jewel on the river again!

On November 1, 1928, El Campanil Theatre opened its doors to the City of Antioch and the Diablo Valley. At the time it was referred to in news reports as “the most pretentious building in Contra Costa County.” Built, owned and operated by Ferdinand Stamm and Ralph Beede, El Campanil (the tower of bells) is Spanish in both name and architecture. Located in the heart of downtown Antioch, along the waterfront and in what is now known as the Rivertown Business District, El Campanil was owned and operated by the Stamm family for 75 Years, or until 2003.

In 2001, a small group of local citizens, including representatives of the Rivertown Business District Association, approached the City of Antioch with their desire to find a way to acquire and restore El Campanil, and to convert its use to one supportive of the Rivertown Renaissance plan. The Rivertown Business District Association took the lead in securing funding from Calpine for the development of a comprehensive business plan for the El Campanil Theatre. The business plan outlined the best strategies for moving the project forward and VenueTech Management Group, LLC, was retained to develop the plan.

In July 2002, the El Campanil Theatre Preservation Foundation was incorporated as a charitable, non-profit 501(c)3 organization.

In early 2003, Calpine Corporation and the City of Antioch entered into an agreement whereby the Foundation received a grant to acquire the Theatre.

In July, 2003 the El Campanil Theatre Preservation Foundation purchased the Theatre and began the process of converting the building to a community performing arts venue.

On July 4, 2004 the first phase of the rehabilitation was complete and the doors once again opened to the public. El Campanil Theatre presents a wide variety of entertainment opportunities including Classic Films, Live Theatre, Concerts, Symphony, Ballet, Comedy and is host to numerous local dance and community based organizations.

Despite the fact that Henry’s travels force them apart with no warning, Clare desperately tries to build a life with her one true love. – Yahoo! Movies

Mary’s Review – This movie fared far better than I thought it would. My daughter and I loved it. The story in this movie was sad but wonderful at the same time. Rachel McAdams, with her innocent charm, can make any movie better. She has a genuine quality that not all actors possess. Although we would have been over the moon if she was playing opposite to Ryan Gossling again like in The Notebook (that was epic!) We still enjoyed this movie as it was and I would like to give this movie 2 nachos and a jalapeno.
