Okay, okay...I know...I haven't blogged about anything lately and I know that you all are not sure which movies to spend your time watching without my input. Just kidding. So, here's the rundown on what to see and what to not waste your time on.
Alvin and the Chipmunks-no academy awards here and I don't like Jason Lee, but it is a fun family film and worth watching.
August Rush-obviously the critics and general public are studpid because this movie didn't do great in theatres and didn't get glowing reviews, but it is fantastic. The soundtrack rocks, the performances by the cast are great, and the story is heart-warming. Rent or buy it and you'll be glad you did.
Sweeny Todd-Is Johnny Depp one of the most versatile actors you've ever seen or what? Tim Burton's films are always interesting to watch (I loved "corpse bride") and this one is no exception. Very entertaining and, of course, very dark and a bit bloody. Cool over all.
Dan in Real Life- wonderful. See it!
Awake-this one was just alright. I suppose it's worth seeing once, but you're not missing much if you don't.
Well, that's about all the movie watching I've been able to do recently. Things have been pretty busy. I'll try to do better:-)

I Could Never Be Your Woman
"I Could Never Be Your Woman"
Directed by Amy Heckerling
I'm a sucker for a good romantic comdedy. There, I said it. This one was extremely cute and I am constantly amazed at how absolutely good looking Michelle Pfeiffer is for a woman that is a wee bit older than some. I Could Never Be Your Woman is a romantic comedy about a sitcom writer in her forties who hires an actor for her show and falls in love with him. Problem is, he's only twenty-nine. There romance is a bit odd and certainly quirky, but it's endearing and sweet as well. Unlike some romantic comedies, there were actually places where I laughed out loud.
Here's my only issue: for some reason that I can't find, the writer decided to put Mother Nature in as a character for Michelle's character to dialogue with here and there. While Mother Nature's monologue at the very begining was funny, the rest of her appearances were distracting and really took me out of the story. Anyway, other than that, I really liked this movie and I thought it was extremely cute. Check it out.

Hitman
"Hitman"
Directed by Xavier Gens
I love the name Xavier. Which, of course, has nothing to do with anything. I also loved the promo posters for "Hitman". My liking the poster was probably two-fold: they looked wicked and the main character is a butt-kicking bald guy. I like that.
Seriously though, here's my opinion...I thought a lot of the dialogue was poorly written. The acting was better in some places than in others, but I thought it was, overall, mediocre at best. Even some of the character development wasn't all that great. However, the visuals in this film are super cool and alone are worth seeing the film for.
