MOVIES:

Adventureland:Was an all right movie. Although I noticed the actors/actresses did a lot of drinking and driving. I don't know if anyone else who has seen the movie noticed but I sure did. It had some funny punch lines but I wasn't laughing the whole movie. Overall, it's was a good time wasting movie.
Watchmen: I had no idea what this was going to be about but it turned out to be entertaining for the most part. I didn't really enjoy the too long sex scene. I felt like I was watching a porno with my brother sitting right next to me. Horrific experience for sure! But besides the lengthy 'lets make a baby' scene, and the blue guy walking around in nothing (ultimately leading to me falling into fits of giggles every time his penis was shown; kept thinking "Blue Balls") the movie was wicked awesome. Definitely one to add to my collection!
State of Play: First it has Russel Crowe so it just had to be good. One of my favorite actors ever. Downside it also has Ben Affleck, one of my least favorite actors ever. I liked the movie. But as of right now I can't recall what really happened in it. So it must have just been okay, not great.
Fast & Furious 4: Sort of confusing because it's been so long since I have seen the first ones and I had forgotten what happened in them. But I liked it. I'm not really or at all into cars but the story line was cool. Pretty predictable though. Has Paul Walker in it so makes the fact that it is predictable okay.
The Soloist: Really liked this movie. The acting was good, except for when Jamie Foxx plays the Cello he doesn't bob his head around like real celloists do. He sits still which in any orchestra is very uncommon. Robert Downey Jr. acts very well in this movie. Of course the music through out the entire was great! Another one for the movie collection.

My Sister's Keeper: By Jodi Picoult, A mother and father harvest a daughter to genetically match the elder sister who has a rare form of leukemia. They designed the younger daughter Anna to be the perfect donor match, that way Kate might have a chance at a normal life. After many donations and remissions and relapses Anna finally takes a stand and says no more. She sues her parents for medical emancipation from her parents. Her sister has gone into kidney failure and Anna doesn't want to donate the her kidney. The story is very good. I have never cried from a book until I read this one. A touching story, that challenges what is right and wrong. It has been made into a movie and will be released later this year, or early next year.
