Last Chance Harvey

I love me some Emma Thompson so I was sold from the get go. It was a cute story and basically a simple movie. You knew how it was going to end just from watching the preview. A great afternoon movie with your friend or on your own.

Slumdog Millionaire

Well...with all the hype my expectations were set pretty high. I do not understanding why it got SO much hype. Yes it was a good movie, yes it had a good story line, and yes the acting was good, but NO it did not strike me as movie of the year material. It was not realistic. I enjoyed the movie "Milk" more, but I am a sucker for a docudrama based on hard facts. I did like the ending and a good ending is hard to come by these days. I do recommend that you see it for yourself.

The Wrestler

Pretty good movie. It was not a pretty film my any means. It was really raw and there were some scenes that I actually covered my eyes. It was just a plan old good movie that comes at you from a different angle. Instead of having a happy ending and everyone getting what they want it was true to real life and how sometimes you are just dealt the short end of the stick. As for Mickey Rourke, I have no previous knowledge of him so I did not have any expectations. I cannot imagine anyone else playing this role as well as he did though.

Underworld:Rise of the Lycans

Loved it!!! All it takes is a few vampires and werewolves to keep my attention. I liked the other two films so it was exciting that they took it back in history to give us insight on the beginning. It is a must see if you have seen the other two movies. Even if you have not seen the other films this one is prequel so your good!

Gran Torino

Amazing film. It was just a cool story and very different. Clint Eastwood was amazing!! For such a serious film we did a lot of laughing.
