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...

Intolerable Cruelty
Coen Brothers movie starring George Clooney as a divorce lawyer and Catherine Zeta-Jones as the gold-digging wife of his client. Can they make a romantic comedy? I liked this movie a lot more than I thought I would. George Clooney and the Coen brothers make a good combo. This movie was...
The Day After Tomorrow

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...
