The Duchess

A Kiera Knightly movie that takes place in 18th century England - what could be better? It's a true story that shows once again the shocking social standards of the day. I LOVE these stories!

Salt

This movie was an action-filled spy movie, which normally I love. There was something that just didn't work though. I see now why this didn't do so well at the box office.

Moneyball

Everyone I had heard from said this movie was so great. The acting is great. But the story was just ok. I didn't quite see what made this story worthy of a movie.

Sanctum

This was a good thriller, but a bit of a downer.

The Ides of March

Ryan Gosling is just so good! This movie really shows how one can start out with ideals and morals in a political career. But, eventually the choice needs to be made to either get down and dirty or get out. To get out means no power, no glory. So many choose to look after number one and throw a lot of those ideals and morals out the window. It's so sad that this is what our political system boils down to. The movie crystallizes this so well.

Exit Through the Gift Shop

This is a documentary about street art that makes one realize that the art world is so much more subjective than any other medium out there. The "value" of an art piece can make no sense at all. I really enjoyed this and wish I would have watched this before going to London so I could have watched for Banksy's work.

The Lincoln Lawyer

I love a good legal and crime thriller and this is one of them. My only complaint was I would've liked to have seen the bad guy get what he deserved at the end. It was implied, but satisfaction comes from seeing it.
