So Bad it's Good

Amanda Seyfried portrays the title character in Chloe, a young prostitute hired by Catherine (Julianne Moore) to tempt her husband (Liam Neeson), whom she believes is cheating. Things get complicated when Catherine finds herself drawn to Chloe and the two women are unable to untangle themselves from one another. Based on a 2003 French film, Chloe kind of reminds me of Closer - with its very adult storyline and frank sexual talk. While I don't think I enjoyed Chloe as much as Closer, I did think Chloe was interesting and quite entertaining.

Next we have Hot Tub Time Machine. Can you guess what it's about? Yep, four friends are transported back to 1986 in, you guessed it, a hot tub time machine! This is the type of movie that's aware of its nonsense and is intentionally silly and dumb. And it does it really well. Hot Tub Time Machine is raunchy and foul...and completely entertaining and funny.


And for those of you keeping track, I saw The Blind Side for the fourth time this weekend.
