Life as we Know It

This is the definition of a romantic/comedy with all of it's predictable splendor. Regardless of the predictability, I still was captured by the story and found myself smiling, laughing and even at times close to crying. The baby (played by Alexis, Brynn, and Brooke Clagett) is adorable and steals scenes from Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel, who play enemies that are bonded by guardianship for their best friends orphaned daughter after a fatal accident. This is a great feel good movie that will leave you with a smile on your face.

Easy A

Let's not and say we did! I was pleasantly surprised by Easy A where Emma Stone plays a character whose life begins to resemble the main character in the assigned reading, "The Scarlet Letter." This was funny, feel good movie with a fun storyline. This is definatly a good movie for a date or even a girl's night out!

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps

This was a very well writen movie and the acting was superb. It's a great movie that keeps you intrigued and on your toes. Shia LaBeouf, Jake Moore, has proven himself as a multi-tanlennted actor being able to by an adult drama role amazingly well, which great depth and emotion. Gordan Gekko (Michael Douglas) is back and he isn't going to let prison define him. Greed is Good, and so is Wall Steet!
