Pan's Labyrinth

What a fantastic beautiful heart wrenching movie. This movie is beautiful because it is open to so many interpretations and the cinematography is superb.

Changeling

Angelina did a good job in this haunting movie based on a true story about a woman who lost her son and was given a child not hers and forced to pretend it was indeed her lost son. The movie is a bit too long, perhaps in need of some editing, but the story was still very good and I recommend it!

Mamma Mia!

I love musicals like West Side Story, Grease, and Sound of Music and with Meryl Streep playing the lead in this musical I thought I would love this one! The music was nauseating, the acting was awful and the storyline was BAD BAD BAD. Though we fast forwarded as much as we could, I still wish I had never seen it. Greece looks pretty though.

The Visitor

This is an unexpected movie. Richard Jenkins, the main character is nominated for an Oscar and after watching the movie I can see why. What an exquisite, haunting movie. This movie is like a novel focused on character development. We see an older professor dissatisfied with his life and sent to present at a conference at NYU. He unlocks his Manhattan apartment which he's owned for 25 years and finds a couple living there! What follows is unpredictable with twists and turns and leaves you thinking for days. Particularly in a time of detention camps for illegal immigrants, this is a must see film.

Pineapple Express

This is not the sort of film I thought I'd really enjoy, but it was hilarious. The main character gets caught up with his drug dealer in a misunderstanding with the biggest drug dealer in town and they are now running for their lives. It's so funny, we watched it twice!

Burn After Reading

I didn't know what to expect with this movie but I really enjoyed it. This is a movie about a group of workers at a gym who come across some irrelevant CIA material and get caught up in a strange drama that was totally unnecessary and so very very bizarre and hilarious. The directors call it a tragic comedy. That is indeed the best way to describe it.

Love In The Time of Cholera

Didn't like the book and ditto for the movie. The cinematography is gorgeous but otherwise this is a boring adaptation of a boring novel and I wish I could take back those 2 hrs 20 mins of my life back.
