Midnight in Paris

I don't love Owen Wilson or Woody Allen, but I found this movie fairly charming. Worth a rental.

The Girl w/the Dragon Tatoo

If you've read the book and liked it, you won't be disappointed in the movie. It's pretty spot on. Only one fairly minor difference that I spotted. The casting was teriffic. I was hoping they would hollywood-up some of the more brutal scenes but they didn't at all. The brutal scenes from the book are just as brutal in the movie.

The Descendents

George Clooney is great in this movie but it's really depressing. This guy has the weight of the world on his shoulders. Also, for me personally, there were too many scenes of a father and his two daughters in a hospital rooom waiting for the wife/mother to die.

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

I thought this was better than the first movie - rare words for a sequel. Definitely a fun and entertaining flick, although I had a hard time getting past how much Professor Moriarty looked like Conan O'Brien.

How Do You Know

Another pretty typical romantic comedy, although I will say that Reese Witherspoon is charming in this movie. And Paul Rudd is adoreable pretty much all the time.

Love and Other Drugs

This movie takes some very serious issues and tries to mesh that with nudity and humour. The main issue is so serious that I guess nudity and humour are necessary to be able to digest it.

Hereafter

I put off watching this movie, thinking it'd be hard to watch something on this topic after my mom passed away. It was worth waiting. It's a good movie and makes one wonder about what does happen.
