two out ten
Two guys get in trouble for indecent behavior in front of a room of high schoolers and are forced to be "big brothers" to troubled youth. This movie tried way too hard and ultimately in my opinion came out unfunny and unnecessarily crude. I don't like films where little kids are cursing and saying obscene things. These were designed to get laughs, but they simply offended me.

Rachel Getting Married
one out of ten
This movie was not good. I expected a great indie flick about a young mentally unstable woman returning from the institution for her sister's wedding and a good introspection of her life and the family dynamics. Maybe this happened, I didn't see it. What I saw was a home video of Rachel. Getting. Married. Yeah, that's what this is. Someone needed to seriously edit this film as some scenes went on far too long. I felt like the director was in love with how they were directing instead of focusing on the story itself and the fact that there hardly was any.

Wall E
ten out of ten
I loved this movie. I did not expect to. This is a sweet love story and a statement of how we use our resources and how technology perhaps could turn us into mindless zombies. But really, its a fun story. I loved it.

The Wrestler
eight out of ten
This was a great movie about an aging wrestler who does not have the success of Hulk Hogan. This wrestler was famous in his own right. He still gets recognized on the street. He still wrestles in smaller venues trying to make a living, but he is a broken man. This movie was very deep. It was a reflection on growing older and how this changes things. About opportunities lost, that we deeply regret, but somehow continue to act in ways that deepen this regret. Very thought provoking.
