Closer
Four people, two couples and a lot of intermingle over the course of four years. Starring Jude Law, Clive Owen, Natalie Portman, and Julia Roberts. Julia Roberts bugs me. She didn’t used to, but she has bugged very much in the past few years. Her character was supposed to...
In Good Company
Topher Grace plays the 26-year-old boss to Dennis Quaid’s 51-year-old character. He also has a thing for Quaid’s daughter, played by Scarlett Johansson. I highly recommend this movie. Dennis Quaid and Topher Grace are great in it. Scarlett Johansson didn’t have much to do in the movie so it...

50 First Dates
Adam Sandler falls for Drew Barrymore except she has no short-term memory. He meets her all over again each day. I started watching this on cable about 15-20 min. into the movie, but I don’t think I missed anything crucial. I really would have liked if the penguin and...
Saw
A serial killer makes his victims kill themselves while he watches. I thought this movie was going to be super duper gross so we decided to watch it while eating dinner. Yum! It was pretty gross, but what’s in my head is a whole lot sicker so no getting...

The Incredibles
Retired superheroes are called out for a new assignment. I love Pixar movies. I did enjoy this one, but I did not like it as much as the Toy Story movies. I wanted it to be funnier. It was a good action picture though. When the fight scenes are...
