The Watchmen

I love love loved the intro!! To me that intro was worth going for. I had no idea what to expect and I knew nothing about the story. With that said, I did have some trouble following what was going on but I did not care too much to figure it out. I just loved the visual aspect of the movie and the soundtrack rocked! I guess I just liked the vibe it gave off. To me it was not your typical comic book turned main stream movie and I felt like there was something in it for everyone.

He's just not that in to you

Thumbs down...I was just not that in to it.

Revolutionary Road

Not nearly as depressing as we thought it was going to be...haha...but depressing none the less. I thought the acting was amazing. Kate Winslet was absolutely breathtaking in some scenes. She has moved to my top five after this movie!

The International

Entertaining and action packed for the second half. Made me want to put all my money in a sock drawer :-)

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.
