Did You Hear About the Morgan's?

This is a typical romantic comedy. I don't think Hugh Grant knows how to do anything else. It's not great but it's not horrible either.

Sex & The City 2

I went to this movie without my girlfriends and that made me a little sad, since the core of Sex & The City is the friendship between the four women. I did still like the movie though. There is a karoke scene that is pretty cheesy but that is followed up by a heart to heart between Charlotte and Miranda on how hard it is being a mother that I found very believable. All in all, I liked the movie and will buy the dvd to complete my SATC collection.

The Men Who Stare At Goats

I know this movie didn't receive good reviews, but I kept thinking that a movie with George Clooney, Ewan McGregor, Jeff Bridges, and Kevin Spacey had to be worth seeing. I was wrong. This movie was so boring. I had a hard time staying awake watching it. Oh - and it didn't make a whole lot of sense. If you watch, know that you will never get that time back.

Tyler Perry's I Can Do Bad All By Myself

This is the first Madea movie I've seen and she's a funny character. Taraji P Henson, besides being beautiful, is really good. This is a drama with some funny parts and some great music.

Iron Man 2

It's a sequel, so don't think it's better or just as good as the original. But, it's still good. I had a great time watching it. Although there are parts that I didn't quite understand due to not knowing the comic book story (Samuel L Jackson's and Scarlett Johanssen's characters). Robert Downey Jr is still so great. One thing I noticed is there is a scene where Hammer walks on stage at the Stark Expo and is dancing to a song. That same song is the opening music to Swingers. Jon Favreau wrote and starred in Swingers and directed (and has a role in) Iron Man 2. Coincidence? Maybe, but I hope not. Go see it - or you won't know what everyone else is talking about!!

Babies

This is a documentary that follows 4 babies in their first year of life. One baby is from Africa, one is from Japan, one is from Mongolia, and one is from San Francisco. There's no commentary, just film of the babies. Not only is it really interesting to see life in 4 different cultures, but it is hilarious. I went with my sister and we both were laughing like crazy. At one point I had tears coming out of my eyes because I was laughing so hard. Definitely go see this to laugh and fill up on cute babies!

The Informant

This was a really interesting and surprisingly funny movie. It is loosely based on a true story so now I will need to read the book to find out what was real and what was fiction. Matt Damon was very good in this. Definitely worth the rental price and time.

Brothers

I was very skeptical on this movie. The trailer made it look like they took the love story from Pearl Harbor and inserted it into a more recent war. I had dinner recently with a friend that just got back from Iraq and he had just seen the movie. He assured me that wasn't the case and that he found the adjustment phase after coming home from war to be very authentic. While I can't speak to that, he was definitely right about the love story part. That was actually a very minor part of the movie. It's really about Tobey McGuire's adjusting to home after being in Afghanistan. It's a really intense movie but very good.

The Goods: Live Hard Sell Hard

I love Jeremy Piven (he's cute Liz!!!!). Plus, the lead girl from the tv show My Boys is in it and I love that show. So I enjoyed this movie. It's going to be a movie that you either really like or don't get at all and I really liked it.
