Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind
Get it from Amazon.com!
The first time I saw the previews of this movie I really wanted to see it. But the more previews I saw the dumber it looked.
It's actually probably somewhere in the middle. A good, but not great movie.
It's pretty confusing in the beginning to figure out exactly what's going on, but if you sit and pay attention to the entire movie the story really makes some weird sense. Real different concept and flow, I'm still not exactly sure the real sequence of events. It's kind of a strange cross between The Truman Show and Memento.

The Incredibles
Watch the trailer!
Hilariously entertaining. Everyone should see it, definitely not just a kids movie.
I'm already anxiously the DVD release and the announcement of a sequel.

Alfie
Get the soundtrack!
Great movie despite the fact that it's bombing at the box office. Jude Law overkill? Really enjoyable, especially for Christina who would leave me in a second for Jude Law. Pretty good storyline mixed in with some comedic moments and a great soundtrack. Excellent acting and I enjoyed the way Alfie narrated the story by speaking directly to the audience. Definitely a cool technique.
Just an entertaining movie with tons of attractive people. Damn Marisa Tomei was freaking smoking, she's getting better with age. And Sienna Miller should be in more things than this movie, a crappy cancelled TV series, and Jude Law's pants.

Actually looks pretty good. Hopefully it's better than the last two. (via Jeremy Flint)

Under the Tuscan Sun
Get it from Amazon.com!
Don't laugh, it was actually pretty good. Yes it was girly, but it wasn't the same crappy story line you get from most chick flicks. Unfortunately, it didn't rely on the whole "women are idiots who need men or else they fall apart and they make really bad decisions and always fall for the wrong guy and think the world is over"
stereotype. That always irks me.
Best thing going for it? Diane Lane. She may be almost forty, but she's freaking hot!

The Perfect Score
Read my full review!
If you like Scarlett Johansson or atypical high school movies you should check it out. The storyline has a major flaw and the dialog isn't too great (except from Leonardo Nam), but it's mildly entertaining.

Not the World Series
Talk about a let down. After watching almost every inning of the two great League Championship Series, I haven't seen more than three total innings of the WS. There was so much national interest in the Sox and Yankees series and I had so much interest in the Astros versus Cardinals series that I guess I just don't give a damn which team wins now.
I can't decide what's going to happen if Boston wins the whole thing, is it going to make the media talk more or less about them?

The Day After Tomorrow
Get it from Amazon.com!
A surprisingly entertaining movie. The first previews I saw for it had me really wanting to see it, but as I saw more and more previews the less I wanted to see.
Turns out it was actually pretty decent. There's a couple moronic things in it and I can tell why it got poor reviews. The worst part of it is that there are several storylines that they just completely forget about in the end. They spend time building relationships between characters, and then when the real action starts they seem to have forgotten what the hell they were doing.
If you like seeing crap blow up and other stereotypical action motifs, then The Day After Tomorrow is worth checking out.

Miracle
Get it from Amazon.com!
Eh, the movie was pretty good but I really would have preferred just to see a well researched and produced documentary on the team than an actual movie about it. I guess the fact that I do already know the story so well from multiple documentaries meant the movie showed me nothing really new.
Another well done sports movie though, I'm no hockey expert (thank God) but it seemed to be pretty accurate with all the on-ice action. There weren't really any times when I was disgusted by a lack of realism or anything.

The Yankees choke
I refuse to give the Red Sox much credit, the Yankees blew this series. I couldn't be much happier, unless it had ended with an easy ground ball going off overrated Derek Jeter's overrated glove and through his overrated legs to allow the winning run to score.
