As Long As We Have Each Other

Only a week late....

Please Give is a nice little independent picture that I had the pleasure of checking out. It's hard to really give a quick synopsis of this film. It's about greed, selflessness, family, life, death...I could really write a paper on it. I'd recommend it though. I thought it was both funny and touching.



Toy Story 3 is the best movie of the year so far. It'd be difficult for a third picture to live up to the first two Toy Story pictures, but 3 is an instant classic. I challenge anyone to sit through this picture and not be moved or touched by the sweetness and sincerity of this story and its characters.

The A-Team

I had a really good time at The A-Team. I loved this show as a kid, although I wish I could remember it. Putting aside the unbelievability of nearly every stunt they performed, I thought The A-Team was a great popcorn flick with a nice story to boot. I loved Patrick Wilson's villainous turn - still super dreamy as the bad guy!

Catching Up

I know, I know. I'm behind. Quick catch up....

Splice was weird. I'm a little irritated that they marketed it as a horror film - it's far from frightening. As a drama, I think it's okay; interesting and different enough not to be awful.






I was a little surprised by how much I enjoyed Get Him to the Greek. It was super funny and entertaining. I just love Russell Brand. I wish his BBC radio show was still around. It was golden!

Sex and the Sand

I saw The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time six days ago and I can't really remember it. Maybe that should be my review right there. I remember it being kind of silly and corny. When movies are based on video games, what else do you expect? It wasn't awful, just not that memorable.



I really liked the first Sex and the City movie (despite Jennifer Hudson nearly ruining the entire picture), so I've been looking forward to Sex and the City 2 for some time now. If you really want to enjoy the picture, my suggestion is that you skip the first 20-30 minutes. Unfortunately Anthony and Stanford's wedding was far from entertaining and the dialogue was terrible and felt forced. However, once the movie found its footing and rhythm is was a fun, girl power time, just not quite as much fun as the original.
