I saw The Young Victoria. It was a lush Masterpiece Theatre movie. And I've seen other films that cover the same territory, but it was still pretty and full of familiar British actors.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

I bit the bullet and saw Valentine's Day today since I was desperate to get out and see an upbeat movie after an 85 hour workweek and catching part of a Queen latifah movie last night made me choose it over that Percy Jackson movie. To my surprise it was mostly enjoyable, Ashton Kutcher and Jamie Foxx didn't make me want to kill them for most of their screentime and Julia Roberts was watchable.
I had thought that the review slamming Taylor Swift had to be hyperbole, but HMOG she was by far the worst actor in a movie that featured Kutcher, Jessica Alba, numerous gradeschool kids, and Eric Dane.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I just saw Moon. It was pretty good, but not as completely amazing as I expected from the hype. Sam Rockwell, however, is awesome. It wasn't for a long while that I consciously realized that he was giving two completely different, believable, and ultimately sympathetic performances for the same character in the same movie. That's something.

Because books.
We just watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall last night. It was cute, but my favorite part was by far the Dracula puppet musical.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I went to see Shutter Island today. Not Scorcese's best effort ever, but still enjoyable, even though I guessed at the big twist about 10 minutes in.
Plus, the locations were gorgeous, in a decayed gothic-industrial sort of way.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
WTF is John Cusak doing in Hot Tub Time Machine?!?
It's his baby. He's a producer, plus they went forward with very little script so there's a lot of improvising.
Yeah, it's pretty much all his fault.

Because books.
Ugh. I saw the trailer for that and just blinked.
Anne, I guessed the twist in the book, although I couldn't figure out all the details. And Lehane sold me on it by the very end, so I'm hoping the movie does the same.
