Zombieland

Holy shit this movie is awesome!!! I could watch it again and laugh just as hard. Woody Harrelson is so great in this that I just want to eat him up! The whole cast was awesome. If you like zombie/comedy films this one is totally for you! Even if you don't like zombie movies you will still get quite a bang for your buck. All around this was a good film.

Couples Retreat

Boooooo. Wait to rent this one or watch it on TV because it was not nearly as funny as it could have been. Even my mom thought it was "just okay". Unfortunately the killer cast was just not enough. Jason Batemen's last two movies, Extract and Couples Retreat, have both been let downs. They give all the funny parts away in the previews. The other thing is they filled the movie with what Hollywood considers typical couple's humor and some of it was just plain stupid and cynical.

Bright Star

What a heart breaking film. Beautiful but heart breaking all the same. The acting was great and I loved the leads. Heather and I both left wondering where we have seen them before. The only acting downfall to the movie was Paul Schneider and his horrible Irish/Scottish accent. I love him and love looking at him but his role in this movie was not so great. Your heart hangs heavy when leaving the theater but it's totally worth it.

The Burning Plain

Wow...this was an intense movie. Worth seeing but make sure your not already depressed when you watch it ;-) The story was really cool and I like the way it was told with interweaving the individual character stories.

It might get Loud

Brilliant! I loved it from beginning to end. I was the only girl in the theater, but I think any person who loves music and appreciates a good guitar player would like this documentary. Jimmy Page, The Edge, and Jack While all have very cool stories to tell. Seeing the three feed off each other was very interesting to watch and sometimes uncomfortable. Jimmy Page is a bad ass and this movie just confirms it.

The September Issue


What a great documentary about Vogue and Anna Wintour. If you saw the Devil Wears Prada then you must see this so that you can see the real woman behind the magazine. It was neat to see how the September issue gets made and all the work that and money that goes into it. The money is insane!!! Clay enjoyed this film just as much or maybe a little more than I did so it's not just for the ladies.

Extract

Not so extracting...Heather and I were dissapointed to say the least. The best parts were given away in the previews. It was great to see Clifton!
