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.

The Edge of Love


Depressing, beautiful, and heart breaking at times. This was a pretty good film and all the acting was spot on. This is a great rainy day film. The cinematography was exquisite.

I love you, Man


AWESOME!!!! I laughed until I cried...how often do you get to say that these days? It was such a funny movie...much more than I could have ever expected. I cannot wait to see it again! Paul Rudd and Jason Segel are both easy on the eyes and have great chemistry. The ended was the only part that felt a little cheesy and by that point you don't care because it's at the end! Go see it if you want to laugh your ass off.
