24 Hour Party People
Tracks the rise and fall of Factory Records in Manchester, England from the late 70’s until the 90’s. I love bands from Manchester, like New Order, Stone Roses, Charlatans, and Happy Mondays. I wanted to see this movie since I love the city and it was going to talk...
Millions
A young British boy lives in an imaginary world most of the time and can’t believe it when he really finds a bag filled with millions that has fallen from the sky. This movie is directed by Danny Boyle that also directed Trainspotting and 28 Days. There is nothing gross or scary...
P.S.
A college admissions officer runs across an application of someone striking a strong resemblance to her high-school sweetheart and true love that died 20 years earlier. I enjoyed this movie but it seemed a tad short. It was a nice, sweet story that was very romantic without being sappy....
Sideways
The weekend before a guy gets married, he goes out on a wine-tasting adventure with his best friend who has been depressed for two years. Directed by the Alexander Payne who made Election and About Schmidt. This was a nice, sweet movie, but I didn’t think it was Best Picture...
Young Adam
Ewan McGregor buddies up with a guy so he can sleep with his wife. Scandalous! How disappointing that a movie filled with Ewan McGregor having sex many times over could be so completely boring. There's a mystery about a dead woman found floating in a Scottish river, but it...
Coffee & Cigarettes
A bunch of short pieces of film starring actors, musicians, and other famous people as themselves at times and characters at other times all discussing anything over coffee and cigarettes. This movie was disappointing. I have liked Jim Jarmusch’s other films before. They usually consist of a lot of...
Napoleon Dynamite
The geekiest, worst-dressed guy sets out to win over girls and get his friend elected to be class president. When we first started watching this movie, we were beyond drunk at Chuck’s house at 2am. We watched about half of it, but it only felt like 20-30 minutes. We...

Shaun of the Dead
A guy who has slept through life with his dead end job gets a wake up call when one day he has to save London from zombies! This movie was awesome. It was very funny. One thing I always comment on the zombie movies is how people get attacked...
Super Size Me
A healthy man eats nothing but McDonalds for 30 days and almost dies. This was an awesome movie/documentary/whatever. I’m glad that we weren’t eating while we were watching, like we usually do when we watch movies. I am also glad that we decided to buy a bunch of healthy...
