The Road

This was a really good and really interesting movie - which leads me to believe that the book must have been amazing. Viggo Mortenson is in every virtually every scene of the movie and is teriffic.

Alice in Wonderland

This is definitly a Tim Burton movie. I really liked it. I liked the look and feel and the characters. Johnny Depp is amazing (not a big surprise). It was a great interpretation of the story.

The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo (swedish version)

I am usually not a fan of a movie if I've read the book beforehand. The conversion to film leaves too many things out and sometimes changes the story around for no apparent reason. Not only did this movie do those things, but I found the acting to be very wooden. This story contains extremely emotional events and the characters showed virtually no emotion. I'm hoping the american version does a better interpretation of the book, but I'm not holding my breath.

Leap Year

Like most romantic comedies, this wasn't horrible, but it wasn't great either. My issue with this one (well with most romantic comedies) is how completely unrealistic it is, particularly the ending sequence. But, we're all suckers for a good love story, no matter how implausible, every once in awhile.

Valentine's Day

This is a completely predictable rom-com. Normally I'm the one who never sees the plot twists coming, while everyone else figured it out a half hour ago. But even I knew exactly what was going to happen in this movie. Not exactly a threat to win an oscar...
