Remember Me

I wont go into a lot of detail about this movie, but It's about a boy who is a little "lost" in life and how he meets a girl who helps him see life a little differently. Your typical chick flick right?? Wrong. I remember when I saw the previews to this movie I thought it was going to be a chick flick, but its actually more of a Drama. I think I would have liked it a little better going into it if I would have known that. I thought some parts of it was a little too dramatic, but overall it was a pretty good movie that takes you from high to low and makes you think. But just to warn you, there is some swearing, sex, and drugs, so if that bothers you, then maybe this movie might be a little much for you... So after much thinking, I have decided to give it 3 stars!

Date Night


Thursday night Todd and I decided to go on a date, so we decided to go see the movie Date Night. (Perfect combination right?) We hadn't heard much about this movie but we both like Tina Fey and Steve Carell, so our expectations were kind of high going into it. The movie started off really good. Something I like about a movie is if the actors become believable in their rolls. And I think they did a good job with that in the beginning, but it seemed like once they start getting into trouble, I lost that connection and it seemed to me like they were trying a little too hard to be funny when they weren't. Don't get me wrong, it was a funny movie, and definitely had its laugh out loud lines, but towards the end it turned a little more crude than I would have liked or expected. The ending got a little awkward and strong with some sexual content. I mean, I knew it wasn't going to be a family movie, but apart of me wished it was more like what we see Tina Fey and Steve Carell as on television. Anyways, it was okay. Overall, i would give it a 2 1/2 out of 4 stars.
