Hot Tub Time Machine

I heard good things about this movie so I was really looking forward to it. I thought it was just ok. It's slightly amusing but there weren't any huge laughs. Glad I didn't spend the theater money to see it.

Book of Eli

Another great post-apocalyptic movie (see also The Road). Denzel Washington plays a character that knows the power the bible has and is protecting the only copy left on earth. Definitely a movie to see.

Green Zone

This movie didn't do that well at the box office but I really liked it. It's about a soldier in Iraq (Matt Damon) who explores sites said to have weapons of mass destruction. When every site turns up empty, he starts to question the army intelligence. It's a great take on the question of those fabled, never to be found WMD's.

Chloe

This is a movie about infidelity in a marriage, which is uncomfortable to watch and I'm not even married. But it strays from reality a bit when the characters react to situations in ways that I would find hard to believe any person would. I don't particularly care for movies that are based on real life situations but then have characters react in ways that 99% of us never would.
