Gone Baby Gone


I really enjoyed this movie. A great cast and the story will keep you guessing until the end. One the suprising thing about the movie was it made you think about how many could actually do right thing. Not what we think is right but truly the thing. For Ben Affleck a great directorial debut. To Casey Affleck you are coming into your own.


8/10

Book Review:A Spot of Bother-by Mark Haddon


The story was well written with a lot of unexpected moments. The characters flawed but very likeable. A good read.


6/10

Martian Child


A nice little movie a bit boring in the middle but a good ending if you stick it out. I am a big Cusack fan so that helped.

Music Review:The Juno Soundtrack


The is a wonderful CD. I think its rare these days that you find CD that you listen to again and again. Its a joy to the ears.


10/10

Knocked Up


Even though I still hate the title, the movie was good. The characters were very real and honest. It wasn't 'stupid' funny just funny and very heartfelt at times.


8/10

24-The Complete Sixith Season


Not the most impressive season, but still very good. The element of Jack's family was good but could have been better. The White House stuff was weak. But again a great bit of acting by Jean Smart and a superb final episode.


7/10

Frasier-The Complete Seventh Season


This is a big season for Frasier leading up Daphane wedding day to Donny. Until she learns of Niles' true feelings for her. Also a big highlight to me in this season Jean Smart playing Frasier's old high school dream-girl.


9/10

Punch Drunk Love


I did not get this movie. I wanted to liked it but the more I tried the more I hated it.

The Namesake


I really really liked this movie. This couple moves to American from India after they are married. Their son Gogol changes his name and drifts from his family as he grows older. But the sudden death of his father makes him realize how much he has missed.


A great story and a good look at Indian culture.


10/10

Once


This movie is all about the music. If you like movie where people sing every fifteen minutes this is for you. The story was good though and the music very enjoyable.


6/10

I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry


I really heard bad things about this movie and will admit there are stupid moments. It was however better then I expected. Its a movie of friendship and being there when the chips are down. Worth a watch.

The Telented Mr. Ripley


I was blown away by Matt Damon's proformance. The great thing about the was the tension. The was so much of it between the characters and within themselves as well. It made the movie so unpredictable. That's a rare quality in a movie these days.


10/10

Men in Black


This movie was OK. I love Will Smith, but I liked Tommy Lee Jones more in Men in Black. The story was a little weak and it was boring in places.


6/10

My Big Fat Greek Wedding


I enjoyed this movie. I love John Corbett. A great little story with a good cast. They should some of them for the short-lived TV show

Music Review:Bruce Springsteen-Magic


This is a great CD. The 80's for me were all about Bruce Springsteen. This CD is backed up by The E Street Band which makes it total greatness. The vocals are so wonderful.

This would have been so great.

Veronica Mars:The Complete Third Season


A great season with two big mysteries. A great show and biggest mystery of all. Why did it get cancelled? In a pitch for season 4, Veronica joins the FBI oh the potential. Great show. I will miss it.
10/10

Waitress


Waitress is a great movie. It shows that is human to doubt. To doubt ourselves to doubt life. But in the end love and friendship and belief in ourselves will out. Great cast, great writing.

Home Alone 2:Lost in New York


This one pales in comparsion to the first, but I did enjoy it a lot. Much like the first, what kid would not enjoy having that kind of freedom. It did get a bit stupid with the robbers again. But still good.
