Kim LaFleur rated Church & State (Los Angeles, CA)
(1 year, 4 months ago)
Church & State photo
Kim LaFleur: I've heard "Church & State" referred to as casually elegant. I just think it's a great place to have lunch when in LA if you're shopping downtown and looking for a great and reasonable spot to have lunch. Nice building. Nice atmosphere. While it's not exactly in the "shopping proper" garment district, it's next to some of the designers / designer warehouses themselves.

Kim LaFleur: Upgrade to 3.5 Stars. I probably would've given this movie 4 stars if it wasn't so long. It's 111 mins so nearly 2 hours. I enjoyed the movie the first hour but the second hour just seemed to drag on this complicated story and feature some crazy insane special effects scenes. It was a Bruce Willis movie and somehow an "Ocean's 11" type story as well with older R.E.D. agents. (Retired Extremely Dangerous). The cast of characters was great... with my favorite being John Malkovich who I would recommend the movie simply for his character. I think it'll be out on DVD soon, so it's a good rental for sure!

Kim LaFleur: Good movie. Surprisingly a good storyline follow-up to the original. Could've done with a little less of Jeff Bridge's "zen" spiritual-ness that he seemed to have conjured up during his several decades on "the grid"... but good movie overall. All three of my kids (ages: 10, 13, & 14) all enjoyed it and have never seen the 1980's version so it was good that it could stand alone. I am no advocate for the 3D movies that are becoming the new norm so we just saw it in 2D. Enjoyed the music by Daft Punk too!

Kim LaFleur: Didn't care for the 3rd in the series of the "Focker" movies. Seemed very forced--- script was working hard to keep all the characters on the screen (ie- Barbara Streisand, Dustin Hoffman, etc...) Of course Ben Stiller takes inappropriate to a new 'inappropriate' level. It's a DVD / Netflix rental at best.

Kim LaFleur: Good movie. Definitely entertaining. I didn't like the ending to this version though. Seemed abrupt. Liked the ending in the original John Wayne better but Jeff Bridges gave a good performance.

Great tool to direct your friends and family to be more self-sufficient on the web.

Kim LaFleur rated Disney's A Christmas Carol (2010
(1 year, 5 months ago)
Disney's A Christmas Carol (2010 photo
Kim LaFleur: This movie is a Pixar movie (or looks like it was rendered by Pixar or whatever company Disney owns now that is making those...) at any rate, I was extremely disappointed. Jim Carrey is the rendered Ebenezzer Scrooge as is all three ghosts that visit him over the course of the night. The movie is at times grim and even scary and doesn't seem suitable for Disney's target audience (children) --- even older ones. The movie seems to focus on giving more screen time to the animated Carrey than it does telling the overall story. I'm not a Jim Carrey hater, I did like him in "Yes Man", but sometimes he does the same things over and over and in this case, it ruined a perfectly good old story. Like that Disney tried to remake it, don't like the result.
Malcolm Lewis:
Good to know. Disappointing.

Kim LaFleur rated Jer's Gourmet Chocolates

Kim LaFleur: Absolutely one of the very best chocolates I've ever experienced. Most of their chocolates start with peanut butter so you need to be a lover of peanut butter and chocolate. And, I AM!
