Saw an advance screening of Adam. Great picture. I really liked it. Improbable romance between an NY teacher and a man with Asperger's syndrome. Sweet, funny, emotionally satisfying. All good.
G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra was pretty good. You won't learn anything while watching, but it had some fun action. Too bad our hero Duke (Channing Tatum) is dreadfully dull.
The documentary about the existence of love, Paper Heart, had just that. It's a delightful film, if a little safe. The romance between star Charlyne Yi and Michael Cera was adorable.
Julie & Julia was a great time. I liked this one a lot too. Laughs, heart and I think Ephron really wove the two stories together well. Streep gives a jubilantly glowing performance of Julia Child - no doubt on her way to her 394th Oscar nomination.
A friend of mine mentioned how much the previews for A Perfect Getaway terrified her, so naturally I had to see this picture in order to tease her relentlessly. Unfortunately, I guess the joke's on me. This movie isn't even worth reviewing.Oh and I knocked out viewing number three of The Proposal. Check it out!

Ha-ha! You should have listened to me, huh? :)
I haven't been able to see Adam or Paper Heart, but as I read the other reviews, I was thinking, "Oh, we have similar tastes in movies." Until I got to The Perfect Getaway. I liked it!! I trust ya, anyway and look forward to reading more!!
Sienna Miller was the only reason to see GI Joe. She really rocks the leather. They butchered the story line. The original comics were much more interesting, but would make no sense (in the comics, Snake Eyes can't speak because he was blasted in the face with explosive helicopter fuel during an accident...in Vietnam.)
