As busy as I was this past week, I somehow managed to watch several movies. (And I made headway on the 2 books I'm reading!) Here's the skinny.
Margot at the Wedding - I watched this one with my friend Lisa, and I think we both finished this movie saying, "Huh?!" The cast includes Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Jason Leigh, who I have adored in other roles. Suffice it to say, there's a good reason that you've probably never heard of this flick. Don't make the same mistake that we did.
The Lucky Ones - I really enjoyed this movie! It stars Tim Robbins, Rachel McAdams, & Michael Pena as injured Iraq war vets who have come home to deal with personal challenges. At times, it felt like the movie dragged a bit, but overall, hubby & I both gave this one 2 thumbs up.
Eagle Eye - GREAT MOVIE! Shia LeBeouf has redeemed himself (in my eyes) after that Indiana Jones debacle from a few weeks ago. This is a thriller with some great action sequences and a cast that is fab. Two thumbs way up!
The Ex - This is a great little movie that didn't get a lot of press, I guess. It stars Zach Braff (always hilarious), Amanda Peet (who I adore) and Jason Bateman (who plays evil a little too well). Zach & Amanda play a married couple whose relationship is tested by her old flame, Jason. Lots of great supporting characters in this flick and some GREAT writing! I definitely recommend this one.
I'm super excited that I have a "mom date" tomorrow with my buddy Shannon. We're going to see The Proposal. Ryan Reynolds...SWOON!
See y'all next week!

Y'all have fun...let me know how it is, Tracy is dying to see it and I can give her a review via you!!
I've added "Eagle Eye" to my Netflix queue... now I just need to watch the movies I've had for over a week now and get those sent back...
Have you seen anything else with Shia? I think "Disturbia" is a really good movie.
Have fun on your mom date! I have a REAL mom date...and went with my mom to see "The Proposal." I loved it.
I have Eagle Eye in my queue...I'll have to move it up.
I haven't seen any of these yet. I will definitely add Eagle Eye and The Ex to my queue.
The Proposal was AWESOME!!!! You'll love it.
I really like Eagle Eye. This weekend we watched Confessions of a Shopaholic. Umm yeah, not what I expected. It was kinda boring.
I've read the book so I thought it would be funnier. Not so much.
Finished The Help this weekend. It was a GREAT book recommended by Kat.
You girls have fun! But I'm tellin' ya - forget the Proposal until you've seen the Hangover. Still...laughing. Sides...hurting...from...laughing!
Yeah... never heard of a one of those :) BUT when I do finally get a chance to see a movie, at least I'll know what to look for, right? The Ex sounds quite promising!
