*shrugs* Like I said, I liked Juno, which a lot of people seem to hate on. Maybe just because I love Ellen Page and would watch her play anything.
So for each their own. But Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist and Youth in Revolt are definitely not for me. Still, I'm not jumping on the Michael Cera hating bandwagon either. His successes outweigh his failures for me still. Though I would like to see him break out of his typecasting a little more. Even Scott Pilgrim was not enough of a departure for most people.

The only movie I've seen her in where I didn't think she was fantastic was Inception, and that was more because of role she was given to work with than anything. I like that movie well enough, but her character was literally just there to go "Why does X happen? How do we Y? What's Z?" so that Leonardo DiCaprio or Joseph Gordon Levitt could explain things to the audience. She served no other purpose, really.

This Means War

So painful. Not one likeable character in the movie. And the ending just kinda leaves you wondering if there was another one written that made more sense but a focus group got a hold of it.

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist is my go-to pleasantly-buzzed-alone-at-2am kinda movie.

....I watched it last Wednesday I think.

Just watched Red State. It's good to see Kevin Smith do something different. I think he proved pretty well that he can write and direct something that's not sophomoric or cliched.

I liked Red State, and while the vast majority of Kev Smith's films are blatantly fan pandering, I don't really see what the problem is with that.
It was exactly what Kevin Smith sold it as: a mash up of Quenitn Tarantino and the Coen Brothers as told by Kevin Smith. The ending made perfect sense to me considerinh the Coen Bros. influence.

The term for this is GoT whore.

Just watched The Secret of Kells.

Gosh, that was beautiful. Jet seemed to like it as well.

It also spurred a rather...strange conversation between him and I which I may toss up in random crap.

Men in Black 3.

I really liked it. It's waaaaay better than Men in Black 2. However, I hope they don't bother to make any more. Josh Brolin could not have nailed being a young version Tommy Lee's K any harder if he tried. Holy fucking shit.

It could have been 2 hours of a live root canal and been better than MiB2.

Well, it could have been expectations, but I was waiting for it suck and it never did. People say that Will Smith phoned it in, but he seemed suitably stressed as some on in his position would be.

Ali, The Pursuit of Happyness and Hitch (along with Legend) are very different roles for Smith and he does a good job with all of them.

Hitch had the potential to be amazing, yet fell flat on its face upon the "revelation" of who/what he was.

I liked Will Smith in Seven Pounds, Happyness, I am Legend, and Ali.

In I am Legend, I feel like he proved that he can carry the majority of a film on his own shoulders without much help, similar to what Tom Hanks did in CastAway, which I'm going to go watch.

Oh, and I saw MiB3. It was good.

How I wish they'd just let him carry it himself. Everything was going so great until otherwise...

Favorite part of MiB3? Mine was definitely Bill Hader.
