The Hangover


Funny...I laughed a lot...but it is nowhere near as funny as "I love you Man".

Anvil, The Story of Anvil

Anvil is a heavy metal band from Canada that was somewhat big in the 80's. The were considered the "demigods of Canadian metal". They paved the path for all the heavy metal bands we know today but somehow they were never able to make it to the big time. The movie is about their story and how they are still trying to keep the "dream" alive. Super good movie for anyone interested in music and how the industry sometimes does not always work in your favor.

The Soloist













This was a pretty good movie. I like docudramas so I had to see this one. As Clay said, it's a poor mans "Shine". Which is true, but it still has it's moments. I thought the acting was well done but over all it lacked some drama or excitement. I did not enjoy the relationship between Robert Downey Jr.'s character and Cathrine Keener...I could have done without her drab part.

Star Trek


LOVED IT!!!!!! I have never watched Star Trek so I did not know the story but that did not matter at all. It was a really great movie with some good comedic moments. I thought all the actors where perfect for their parts. I really hope there is more to come! Clay and I went to see it at the IMAX but all showings were sold out. We plan on trying to catch it again so we can see it on that huge screen.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine


Excellent! I loved it. I am a fan of the other X-Men movies and Wolverine is my favorite so this one was a great selection for me to see! Some of the special effects were a little over the top at times but that is to be expected these days. Great date movie ;-)

Adventureland


Save this one for the teenagers...as Clay said "it was more depressing than funny"

The Reader


Oh how my heart aches still...I did not know until hours after this film just how much I was affected by it. I want my husband home and by my side. The love story is just so striking and heartbreaking. Ralph Fiennes and Kate Winslet were absolutely amazing...the actor who played Fiennes as a boy was great as well. This movie was a masterpiece of heartache and romance.
