That Evening Sun

Hal Holbrook is awesome in this movie. He plays an aging farmer in Tennessee who's son has placed him in an old folks home. He decides to leave and head back to his farm after three months of feeling lonely and live out his life as he wishes. When he returns home he finds that his lawyer son has rented his place to the town drunk and his family...see the movie to find out how the story goes! It's worth seeing just to see Holbrook at his finest.

The Fantastic Mr. Fox

Clay and I were both pleasantly surprised. As quoted from Clay's blog "Wes Anderson has a style all his own. I suggest it for all ages as well." It was even better due to the fact we saw it at The Plaza Theater which just celebrated it's 70th anniversary. I love that place and if you would like to support it www.PlazaAtlanta.com The movie was just downright cute and funny. Roald Dahl wrote some amazing children's tales!

I'm not so good at this

So I just took notice that I am not a very good writer and I don't at all tell you what the movies are about that I see...I only share how much or how little I liked them ;-) More of an opinion review than anything. I need to work on actually telling you a little bit about the movie!!! My bad!

Crazy Heart

Oh my, oh my, do I love me some Jeff Bridges!!! This was a great film with spot on acting. Jeff Bridges might as well be his character Bad Blake...it was that believable. Maggie Gyllenhaal was wonderful as always. The story is a little heavy on the heart but the ending is sweet. If you are a traveling musician of any kind then this is a must see.
(Bridges won a golden globe this past Sunday for his performance)

The Lovely Bones

I read the book so I knew what the hell was going on and what everyone was thinking. Clay on the other hand did not read the book and said he did not feel the movie/story was very cohesive. We both agreed that the writers interpretation was a little off and not very fluid. The cinematography was amazing!!! I liked it better than Avatar because it was so creative. I would see the movie again just for all the cool shots. Oh and Stanley Tucci's performance was killer!!! He is one of my favorite actors and this part was really a breakthrough for him.
Read the book because as always the book trumps the movie.

Up in the Air

It was okay to pretty good. I expected a little more humor from this writer but all in all you could tell it was his film. It was pretty depressing in the right ways if that makes any sense...it was not "I want to kill myself" depressing. I was not happy with the ending. I always like things to be settled at the end of a movie and this one tried to do that but I still had questions. There were too many possible ways the characters could have gone...in my mind anyway. Clooney did a great job. He may have a future in acting ;-)

An Education

First movie of 2010!
"A wise and colorful coming of age tale". I had no expectations of this movie when I sat down today at the theater. If I had, it would of met them all. I loved the story. A great surprise was that it was written by Nick Hornby which as Heather stated "accounted for the great dialog". He wrote About a boy, Fever Pitch, and High Fidelity.
