Edge of Darkness

If you can get past the craziness that is Mel Gibson's life, this movie is actually not bad. I expected worse so was pleasantly surprised. I don't have a problem with the way the movie ended, but there should've been one more scene that in my opinion would've made the movie more satisfying. I don't want to ruin it, so if anyone watches it and would like to discuss, let me know.

The Kids Are Alright

This is about 2 married lesbian women with two teenage kids, who find the guy who donated sperm to their mothers. Mark Ruffalo is so great in this role and Annette Benning and Julianne Moore are fantastic as the lesbian mothers. It's a drama and yet is funny the whole way through. Definitely check this out.

Shutter Island

I heard a lot of mixed reviews on this movie, but I loved it. It's got a mental hospital for the criminally insane, flashbacks to World War II, and Leonardo Dicaprio. That's pretty much all I need. Definitely see this movie.

It's Complicated

This movie was ok. I didn't laugh out loud once. The best part for me was John Krasinkski playing a "Jim" type character and that was good. I didn't really think there was anything too special about this one.

The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus

I thought that I wouldn't really like this movie, thinking that it would be too weird. And it is weird. But it's good. The way that the movie was able to incorporate Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell into Heath Ledger's role was done in a fantastic way. And I liked the story and the fantasy of it all. I'm a little surprised that this movie didn't get more attention just for how good it was.

The Messenger

This is a movie about soldiers that notify families of their loved one dying in the war. It's a really interesting look at a different side to war. Having to notify families as part of your duty has got to take a toll and this movie examines that. I found it to be very intriguing.
