Slacker!

Slacker, thy name is The Q. I've been neglecting my blog lately.

Week of November 5

Due Date was a bit of a disappointment. Of course it was funny, but I didn't find it to be consistently funny throughout, like I was expecting. I'm right in the middle on this one - not great, not bad.






She's not a big box office draw, but Hilary Swank has an awesome knack for playing such strong characters. Her role in Conviction is a nice addition to her repertoire. Really strong performances all around here. Very good flick.





Week of Nov 12

Clearly, I could focus on nothing else this week than a new Rachel McAdams movie. The icing on top? She's romancing Patrick Wilson! The casting gods have smiled upon me! The first time I saw Morning Glory (of course I've already seen it twice!), I was a little disappointed that it wasn't perfect and the best movie of all time. Clearly, my expectations were too high. Upon second viewing though, I very much enjoyed the picture. I found it funnier and much more entertaining the second time. And ugh, could Rachel and Patrick be cuter? Geez!

Megamind was great! I typically avoid these kiddie cartoons, but this one is pretty entertaining and actually rather funny.







I'm surprised to say that Unstoppable is quite good! Super exciting and suspenseful. Who knew a train could be so menacing? Good stuff!
