W.


This movie was super interesting! It was really cool to view the President as a person and see where he came from. I left the movie not really have an difference of opinion but Clay left feeling sorry for George W. Bush. All I can say is that W. is funny and Laura Bush is much more than just a first lady. She is a wife and a mother and I think we forget sometimes that Presidents have families too outside of running the country. Think about how hard it is to keep a family together much less keeping one together and being the in the political spotlight. It takes a certain type of person to handle this type of stress and pressure. 

The Secret Life of Bees


What a great movie. I wish I had read the book...I still might. All the acting was spot on and I really enjoyed everything about this movie. Well worth seeing!

Religulous


This is a must see!!!!!!!!! Bill Maher is a genius!!! Even if you are religious this is still a good one to see so that you might be able to answer these questions if ever asked.

The Duchess


Oh how my heart hurt when I left this movie. It was really great and the love story was wonderful but it did not end the way I wanted it to. I guess everything cannot have a happy ending. I love stories like this that are based on true stories but also are relevant to modern life.

Eagle Eye


Not bad, not bad at all. I did bite all my finger nails due to the suspense of the film.

Burn After Reading


Even though I missed the first 20 minutes of this movie it was still great. I obviously did not miss enough to make a difference and was able to figure out what I needed to know. Very whitty and just plain great Coen brothers! Short and sweet too the way I like them!

Transsiberian


Holy moses was this a thrilling movie. I loved it and hated it all at the same time. I hated the anticipation and anxiety that it induced but that is what made it so good!!  The ending was awesome. Needless to say I don't think I will ever ride that train! No thank you. Ben Kingsley was amazing as usual and it was really great to see Woody Harrelson back on the big screen.
