Movie Review Time

21
High points:
-The lead character got hotter and hotter as the movie went on.
-His nerdy friends were kinda cute, in a nerdy teddy bear way.
-Kevin Spacey.
-Camera shots of Vegas, which I always enjoy in any TV show or movie, because I can say to myself in my head, since no one else cares, that "I've been there!" and "I got drunk there!" or "I humped a street pole there!" You know, whatever.

Low points:
-It was sort of slow and dragged on in certain parts.
-They didn't spend enough time explaining to me how to count cards in order to win lots of money. I would have appreciated some sort of diagram or step by step instructions. I want to dress in a costume and wear a short black wig like Bosworth and win thousands and thousands of dollars! C'mon, movie people, help a girl out. I suppose I could just buy a book on the subject, but something tells me I wouldn't figure it out anyway. They say you have to be a genius. And belive it or not, I'm not.

Lars and the Real Girl
Ryan Gosling pretty much melts my heart into a puddle of goo. This movie isn't what I expected at all. It was much more touching and meaningful. I thought it would be more Ha-Ha stupid funny, like 'oh this guy thinks his love-doll is real, isn't that hilarious?' but it wasn't like that at all. It's worth watching, definitely.

P.S. I Love You
Once again, NOT what I expected. Going from the previews I've seen on TV, I thought it was just some sappy love story. Wait, I guess it is. On some level. But it actually had funny parts, borderline raunchy parts, and of course some crazy sad parts. I pretty much cried through the whole thing. Hilary Swank has such a huge mouth, but she's still pretty. And it has that guy from 300 in it, and I'll reference the puddle of goo again, but let's just say it wasn't my heart. Ewwww I'm sorry, I had to go there. But yeah, he's yummy. I liked this movie a lot.

Run, Fatboy, Run
I had no desire to watch this movie, but since my co-worker, using his magical computer skills, put it onto my computer and demanded I watch it, I did. Can't say I'd watch it again. Honestly. It wasn't awful or anything, but... Eh. There were a handful of funny parts, but overall it's like a D+.

Dan In Real Life
Mostly this is a forgettable movie, but not a bad movie. Steve Carrell will always and forever make me laugh. Dane Cook, not so much. (At least not in this movie. Some of his stand up rants are pretty good.)
One line that wasn't forgettable:
"Love isn't a feeling. It's an ability."
That line kinda hit close to home and I teared up. Big surprise there.

88 Minutes
Whatever you do, don't pay to see this in the theater. Rent it if you must, or Netflix it. Better yet, pirate that shit like I did. (Just kidding, FBI) Al Pacino is a legend and all, but he just looks so damn old in this. It's his hobbling run/walk, which equals a little old man trying to play an action hero. The plot was shallow and predictable. Leelee Sobieski makes me want to gab my own fingers into my eye sockets and twist. Maybe I'm just super amazing, but I knew who the killer was from like, ten minutes in. Bo-ring.
