How Do You Know

... when you've seen a good movie? We'll this was not it. I love rom-com's but this one had no romance and no comedy either. It did have bad writing however. I do like Reese a lot but this was not the vehicle for her.

Skip it.

The Fighter

Very good movie. I think Christian Bale will get a nod for a supporting actor.

Go see it. You'll enjoy it.

Inspector Bellamy

Forget it. That's all I can say. This movie has twice the amount of dialogue as a similar length movie and in some cases, the dialogue did not make any sense.

Six Days in Paradise

And 90 minutes of torture. This is a third rate movie with a third rate cast. The only good thing about this movie were the numerous teriffic surfing scenes at the North Shore.

Frankie & Alice

This new Halle Berry really shows her talents. Halle really gets into the character and you believe she has become the person in the film. Basically this film is about a women who has multiple personalties and the doctor who helps her sort it out. It is set around the early-mid 60's or so in Los Angeles. This is a must see film and is only out for one week now for Oscar. It will probably be widely released next year. Almost certainly Halle will get an Oscar nod here!

Black Swan

This was an interesting movie. For a ballet movie, it had a lot of blood and special effects. Portman was really great in this and I'm sure there is an Oscar somewhere for her. It's basially about a girl, Portman, who really struggles to be perfect in her craft and thinks her teacher does not appreciate her. The music is great and the ballet sequences were wonderful too.

Go see it.
