i thought of you a couple times when i watched
you'll love it

This was kind of boring. The first part is excruciatingly uninvolving but it powers ahead because of compelling performances from Naomi Watts and Sean Penn. When the movie starts getting interesting, it then ends too soon.


Gemma Arterton is a hot star. This could have been her breakthrough role if the film was a little saucier but it settles for a little flame. The sex comedy is sharper than your usual fare and its Brit humor at its most accessible to outsiders but at times, all the plot twists don't appear to have any direction. Still, it's never less than entertaining.


I did not watch this on Lifetime but I saw it anyway. I actually think Jennifer Love Hewitt is a pretty hot thing and her "acting" is notches above Jessica Simpson who I kept imagining in this role. This is about a desperate young housewife who finds her family sinking into poverty and decides to prostitute herself, gets a coke problem and eventually gets caught and televised. None of the spoilers will actually hurt your experience here anymore than watching the flick itself and although you could do plenty worse with your afternoon than seeing this, The Client List is still kind of awful.


I'm probably the only person who thinks that Katie Holmes' performance in Pieces of April still holds such merit that it forgives any sort of craziness with her husband. I always thought she was the most soulful element of Dawson's Creek. Sad that she wasted it by cohabiting with Tom Cruise. This film is not good enough to be considered a comeback but it's nevertheless a step back into sane acting. This is basically Margot At the Wedding meets Rachel Getting Married meets something annoying. Still, there are some great dialogue and good acting from Katie Holmes and that Sookie chick from True Blood.

Burlesque, I loved it, cam gigandet is now my new crush.

N.E.D.S (2011)
This is a coming of age story set in Glasgow in the 1970's. The soundtrack perfectly reflects it and the acting is pitch perfect. We follow a chubby, studious young boy who grows into a violent, nearly sociopathic delinquent. The film can be slow but each scene is framed with the angst writer/director Peter Mullan has exhibited in his films before.

The Next Three Days (2010)
Needed to be faster, snazzier. If this was directed by a director who was more in tuned with action movies, it would have been a thousand times better. The story is interesting and the premise had the potential to be The Fugitive of its generation or something (Harrison Ford would have played Russel Crowe's role 20 years ago) and the acting is faultless but the pace is sometimes slow and it drags a helluva lot. Also, it is really ****in long.

Zebra Crossing (2011)
Aiming for a Brit version of La Haine, Zebra Crossing fails because it gets too tame and too sentimental near the end. Still, you gotta like the energy of the first half of the flick even though the acting can be laughable at times.

127 Hours.
Im a bit torn about the movie as a whole, certain things didn't really work for me, but james franco is amazing in this. Also, the cutting scene. Might be that im used to waaay worse, but i wasn't *that* disturbed by it. When he breaks the arm is far more traumatizing, i don't know.
