The Switch

An adorable child actor and Jeff Goldblum made this movie tolerable. The ending is so Hollywood - as is typical for any type of romantic comedy (although this isn't really a comedy).

Morning Glory

This goes on my list of good idea that didn't translate to the film. Rachel McAdams, Diane Keaton, Harrison Ford - should be good, right? Nope.

Due Date

As a comedy goes, I didn't think it was super funny. There were parts that were charming but there were also moments that weren't good at all.

All Good Things

This is Ryan Gosling at his creepiest. This is based on a true story which always makes a movie resonate even more. Once again, truth is stranger than fiction and the drive for money can drive a person crazy.

Conviction

This is a story about a man wrongly convicted of a crime, and his sister who goes to law school so she can prove his innocence. Really an amazing story of dedication when all is stacked against her. The fact that it's based on a true story makes it all the more unbelievable.

The Conspirator

I was especially interested in seeing this movie as I had read a book called "Manhunt" about the search for John Wilkes Booth. This movie focuses on the trial of Mary Suratt, the mother of John Suratt, a good friend of Booth's. I found the movie fascinating. Our country, in an effort to punish anyone involved in the conspiracy to kill the president, skirted the rules of the law in this trial. While the guilt of Mary Suratt is still debated to this day, her trial left no chance for a fair defense. The movie is very worthwile.
