It's Kind Of A Funny Story

This is a really good movie. It's charming, yet moving at the same time. It was nice to see Zack Galifinackis (sp?) in a more meaty role than the Hangover movies. Check out the outtakes on the dvd - they are funny.

Get Low

This was a great movie. Robert Duvall is amazing. There was oscar talk for him last year and now I know why. This is a definite must see.

You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger

This is a Woody Allen movie and I'm hit or miss with him. I was fine with this movie until the end. It ends very abruptly. Don't look for resolution to storylines in this one. Other than that, I didn't mind it.

Buried

Ryan Reynolds is great, but only see this if you're ready to be seriously disturbed. It's a tough movie to watch.

Dinner for Schmucks

This was so bad I turned it off half-way through. The crazy hi-jinks between Paul Rudd and Steve Carell were so cliche. Steve Carell's character just didn't make any sense to me at all. One minute he seems socially unaware and the next he's being extremely devious. I was bummed because I really like Paul Rudd and I absolutely adore Ron Livingston.

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps

I didn't understand a lot of the financial complexities of this movie. The relationship storylines were ok. All in all, it definitely wasn't the classic that the first one was, but it's alright.

Nowhere Boy

This is the story of John Lennon's teenage years. From what I've read online, it's a pretty accurate portrayal. I found it interesting because John comes off as edgy and hard-core rock-n-roll. When I think of Lennon, I think of a poet who urges the world to give peace a chance. That Lennon doesn't really show up here, other than to say once (to his new friend Paul) that he's written some stuff like stories and poems. I found it interesting to learn about this history of his that I had no idea about.
