Upside of Anger
A bitter recent divorcee befriends her ex-husband’s friend and tries to deal with her four almost grown daughters. This movie made me want to drink. It was not driving me to drink due to it being awful. Joan Allen and Kevin Costner’s characters are high-functioning alcoholics and were always...

Batman Begins
Chris Nolan, who directed Memento, is taking charge of this interpretation of how Christian Bale became Batman. I really enjoyed this movie. I liked seeing how he decided to become Batman than the rushed feeling that the previous movies gave us where it just jumped right into him fighting crime....
Manic
Don Cheadle is a psychologist at a mental health center for young adults. Joseph Gordan-Levitt is the lead angry guy. I had a feeling that this movie would have a good premise, but be too predictable. I actually really enjoyed it. Don Cheadle, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel...
Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith
The last Star Wars installment that ties together how Anakin turns to the dark side of the Force to become Darth Vader. **Some spoiler stuff so don’t read if you don’t want to know.** R2D2 is awesome and he has bypassed Yoda as my favorite character. I love Yoda...
Secondhand Lions
This was a nice little movie. It was overly cute in parts, but it didn’t go over the top because of Michael Caine and Robert Duvall. It could have been way too sweet, but they gave it a nice edge....
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...
Runaway Jury
John Grisham movie starring John Cusack as a juror and Rachel Weisz who isn’t on the jury and they are both trying to manipulate a court trial being run by Gene Hackman and Dustin Hoffman. It was better in parts than I expected because I did like the twist...
Cold Mountain
At the end of the American Civil War, Jude Law journeys home to Cold Mountain, North Carolina to reunite with Nicole Kidman. Renee Zellweger is in there somewhere too. I thought this movie looked pretty boring, but decided I should watch it anyway. It was much better than I expected. It was very long, but...
