All Good Things

Excellent movie. Kirsten and Ryan both did a fantastic job in this true story.

Go see it!

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.

The Tourist

The Tourist used to be called the Accidental Tourist when the trailers first came out. I really enjoyed the movie. Angelina and Depp were very good. In a departure from Angelina's previous action movies, she never picks up a gun and only a few people die in this movie. Without giving away the story, it is basically a kind of spy movie. If you are looking for an action picture, not a lot of action but a fair amount. If you are looking for an adventure picture, not much there either as it is set in Venice and stays there. If you are looking for a romance picture, not a lot there either. They don't seem to have much chemistry. Depp surely does not look like the type that Angelina would pick based on her dress and actions in the movie.

Go see. You'll enjoy it as I did.
