I just graduated from college, landed my dream job, and have began embarking on what everyone likes to refer to as living in the real world. I’m taking a step back from my film reviewing days since I am now for clients in the industry :)
Thanks for helping me come a better writer, reviewer and cook. Let's keep in touch. Connect with me on Twitter or LinkedIn so we can still chat food and film.
Film: Worst Movies of 2010
These deserve no introduction...
1) The American
This movie is the biggest waste of time I experienced all year. The marketing campaign wasn't a sales pitch it was an out right lie. I'm pretty sure there is more truth in the Shamwow and Magic Bullet commercials than the preview for this POS movie. Not only is it nothing like the trailer leads you to belive it's also slow, pointless, unentertaining and not at all artsy or whatever the hell it was going for.
Bottom line: I don't like being tricked and neither will you.
2) Splice
I'm legitimately upset with myself for forcing me to relive this atrocity. SPOILER ALERT: This is how it goes...two scientists who happen to also be a couple create a human/alien/beast baby, Adrien Brody has sex with the a fore mentioned alien beast, alien/beast TURNS INTO A MALE and RAPES HIS G/F impregnating her and killing everyone else. AND if that baby thing is destined to be screwed up enough the alien beast is made of her DNA so it's incestuous too. I walked out of the theater feeling like everyone who has been subjected to this movie needs to come together for a therapeutic dialogue. Hi I'm Desiree, and I watched Splice.
Bottom line: ^^^ Need I say more?!!!
3) The Wolfman
Vampires…werewolves…they are both the hottest thing in Hollywood these days. I’m not buying it and I don’t think I’m the only one. Anthony Hopkins is in this movie so it gets an auto 5 points, but other than his awe inspiring BAMFness this film has got nothing. It’s basically just a bunch of blood and gore (think Sweeney Todd goes wild), with a depressing ending and crappy love story. I’m all for blood and guts, but I like it to make sense with what I’m watching. Violence for violence's sake just doesn’t do it for me.
Bottom line: Skip this, an old werewolf film on the 99 cent movie rental shelf will be way more satisfying than this one.
4) The Back-Up Plan
Oh J Lo how far you have fallen. I long for the days of Maid in Manhattan and even Jenny from the Block. This movie is terrible, even for romcom standards. It relies on physical humor, which I want none of since this is about having babies. Her actions and decisions make no sense, even for a hormonal preggo, and the relationship evolution is terrible, not to mention the nearly non existent onscreen chemistry between Lopez and the guy we’ve never heard of.
Bottom line: NEXT!
5) The Last Airbender
I don't give a crap about the supposed racism in casting this movie, nothing could have saved this crap. It's boring, slow, and choppy. I do like the two main child actors who brought a lot to what they had to work with but once again, I have no idea what Shyamalan was trying to do. If only he'd stopped at The Village...
Bottom line: Don't watch this, just rent Unbreakable
. Trust, you'll thank me.

Film: Best 10 in 2010
1) The Joneses
If you read/listen to one thing I say in your life make it this... This is a movie EVERY person should see. It tells the story of consumerism and debt in our culture. I’m no anti-materialist or crazy technology-is-killing-the-world activist, but this movie offers a real portrayal of today’s world. The plot is about us, right here, right now. It brilliantly meets you right where you are and forces us to think about how we live our lives. The acting is great and I'm happy that there there are actors like Demi Moore and David Duchovny to read scripts and realize potential and substance worthy of putting their work into. Take your kids take your friends, you’ll be changed. Plus, it’s damn entertaining. Although it was technically released in 2009 I don't care because I saw it in theaters in 2010.
Bottom line: Every person should see this movie. Seriously, go now.
2) Inception
By now, you should already know that this is the most epic and intelligent movie to come out...ever. I have nothing bad to say. There are no holes, nothing left unexplained, just pure and complete creativity, action, and thought sewn together into an oral and optical masterpiece. I've already seen this multiple times and I'm ready for another. The way Christopher Nolan can conceive a manipulation of time (Memento anyone?) and piece everything so seamlessly together is a sign of utter brilliance. The acting is great, the story is great, and you end the movie wishing it would start again.
Bottom line: Watch Inception, then again, then rent Memento and watch The Dark Knight and Inception one more time.
3) The Social Network
Man this movie is good. I don't like anyone who hates this movie, and I definitely won't be your friend on Facebook. Which, by the way, I'm using no less than before or think no lower of its creator so no need to worry about this film ruining your image. I'm not a fan of you because you are unattractive, not cause you're an asshole. Anyway, this film is nicely acted, plotted, and executed. Good job Sorkin and guy who wrote this "untrue" book that is for the most part backed up by everything the Facebook Wikipedia page says (yes, I checked and yes, Wikipedia is a credible source...shhhh) so I actually believe you.
Bottom line: Rolling Stone calls it "The best movie of the year, that also defines a generation," so do I.
4) Going the Distance
I feel confident enough that I haven’t said this yet, am too lazy too make sure of it, and take it back if I gave it to another film…best comedy of the year. This movie was amazing. The realism and hilarious ad-libbed dialogue is frickin’ genius. You know I’m serious since I just wrote a whole paragraph despite having an official review here.
Bottom line: Screw you movie-goers, this movie should have be making mad more money than it has been.
5) Toy Story 3
*sigh* Where to start? Like all Disney Pixar movies, this one's a gem. Just as good as the first two classics and perfect timing for those of us who remember Woody and Buzz as kids. I love Disney for its universal age appeal. It has the cutest characters and great dialogue.
Bottom line: Classic and wonderful.
6) Knight and Day
Hands down best June movie-(that-isn't-Toy-Story). So funny, so clever, so interesting. Tom Cruise is crazy in real life which can only make for a great character in a fantasy world I mean c'mon it's just logic. Cameron Diaz and Cruise are adorable together and if people payed any attention to all the rave reviews this is getting, it really could have been Cruise's comeback movie. Knight and Day is one of those movies that makes you realize while people, like Cruise, became fan favs in the first place.
Bottom line: Great plot, great acting, and funny/interesting as any other good action flick.
7) Extraordinary Measures
You can read my official review here. I suggest you do, this movie is good and you need to be convinced that's true.
Bottom line: This movie was fabulous. The story is dynamic and inspiring and you won't regret taking the time or spending the money to see this in theaters.
8) Book of Eli
When I saw this film it was one of the rare occasions I went in having zero clue what the movie was about. I was intrigued from the first scene and thoroughly enjoyed watching this story unfold. I do feel like the movie's twist takes the story from slightly divine to a little unbelievable but that is really just a personal preference as far as these types of stories go. The cinematography is really cool and I liked all the acting, including Mila Kunis, who's been getting a lot of flack for her role. I love that girl and now she's showing all of you in Black Swan so who's laughing now?
Bottom line: Book of Eli is an interesting, unique story that makes you think. Back that up with some talented acting and good action scenes means you should head to the theater.
9) The Crazies
The best movie I saw in February award goes hands down to The Crazies. This movie is awesome. I’m not a horror film fan because half the time they make no sense, fail to freak me out, and have no intelligent bone in their skeletal plot. The Crazies breaks down all my horror hating walls. Josh Deschanel’s doppelganger does a good job as the small town sheriff trying to save his pregnant wife from an accidental government-induced epidemic. This movie has some sweet kills and surprisingly pleasing relationship development and personal sacrifice. The social commentary is obvious, yet not that annoying. I love a sci-fi type story that fits in the real world as we know it.
Bottom line: Watch this, as soon as you can. This is my favorite horror movie in 2010, if not ever. Paranormal Activity is crap, so see this.
10) The Town
Buzz about this movie notes the "crazy" marketing campaign they used with men dressed in nun masks and wonders how it could recover from such a risky move so beautifully. Here's the answer, straight from the brilliant mind of me: showing pictures of men dressed in nun's masks isn't that crazy and this movie is legitimately good. Screw Ben Afleck haters because you don't know actual talent. You can't fake directing skills like that.
Bottom line: The Town is the movie films like Takers can't even dream of being.
Honorable Mention: Easy A
This is one good ol' fashioned teen comedy. The situations are relatable and actually funny and Emma Stone is awesome. She's got the goods to go far and I think she will. This story is really about that fine line of not caring what people think and not standing up for yourself. It's a story not often told and I'm glad someone finally did.
Bottom line: A+!
Film: 1 Year, 100 Movies - December
2010 is officially over. I graduate college, landed a job in the exact field I wanted, AND officially accomplished by 100 movies goal. Best and worst lists will be coming VERY soon. I don't believe in Top lists posted before the year is actually over because you never know what gems are gonna be sent our way (i.e. 2010's Sherlock Holmes) not that this year gave us any, but hey it's the principal of the thing.
12/9/2010: Black Swan
This is an ODD story. Natalie Portman does do a brilliant job with the character and you can sense the authenticity in her acting the whole way through. There is no need to be familiar with Black Swan or even a fan of ballet in general. You do need to be in for a thriller and an intense ride from start to finish. I still can't decide whether I liked this movie, but I can say it jumps way out of any box ever created.
Bottom line: Prepare yourself.
12/10/10: The Tourist
With a leading team like Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp I went in expecting a lot more than this film has to offer. All in all I ended up enjoying the story but it took the entire 2 hours to convince me. Depp is charming as usual but the plot and acting lacked a depth that I expected to find with such A-list talent.
Bottom line: Leaves something to be desired.
12/13/10: Tron
You can read my official review here.
Bottom line: Optical spectacular, conceptual disaster.
12/14/10: All Good Things
Real life is depressing and so is this story. The acting is well done and the story is interesting but much like the 6 o'clock news the whole premise just leaves you sad about crappy people and a crappy system.
Bottom line: Some times true stories don't have a happy ending, I don't go to the movies for unhappy endings...
12/18/10: How Do You Know
How do you know when you've made a movie that sucks? When it drags on in a cyclical plot line for over 2 hours, that's how. Now that you know, everyone who made this film should be able to avoid another mistake in the future. This is a terribly disappointing run from three of my favorites.
Bottom line: Good thing this one got lost in the shuffle, I don't want anyone's careers going down the drain.
12/21/10: The King’s Speech
Like the critics have been saying, this is a great film. It's a highly inspirational story about a real historic event I wasn't even aware of. It also reminds us that family dysfunction isn't such a new phenomenon, everybody's messed up in their own way.
Bottom line: This is a great film, give it the shot it deserves.
12/31/10: Little Fockers
This one is pretty much as funny and classic as it's former counterparts. You can't avoid a diminishing comedic effect with a franchise like this but overall the standard stayed pretty high. You have to take these movies for what they are and this one does its job to fit in nicely with the rest.
Bottom line: Jinxie cat Jinxie cat I love you.

Food: Susan Shortbread Cookies
So, I had been eyeing a version of these cookies at Vons for approximately way too many months now and I finally had an excuse to spend the $6 for a Christmas celebration and they were as tasty as I expected. Like with most new found loves I tend to go bit overboard with cravings so I decided to attempt my own version for our office cookie exchange. These didn't come out exactly like the other version but they definitely have the not-too-sweet yet chocolately taste I can't get enough of.
Susan Shortbread Cookies
Ingredients
*1 1/2 c. packaged biscuit mix
*2 (3 4/8 or 3 3/4 oz.) pkgs. instant vanilla pudding mix
*1 egg
*1/4 c. butter or margarine, melted
*¾ c. hot fudge
*½ c. Pillsbury (or other) chocolate fudge frosting
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine biscuit and pudding mixes. Add egg and butter; mix well. (I suggested putting hands to good use on this one)
Roll into 1 inch balls of dough, place on cookie sheet and lightly flatten each cookie.
Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes until the sides of cookies start to firm up (be careful not to burn these ones) Let cool.
Combine hot fudge and frosting in small bowl and dollop on top of each cookie. If desired, freeze for 30 minutes to set frosting.
Enjoy!

Film: 1 Year, 100 Movies - November
December is here which means I'm less than a month away from completing my 1 Year, 100 Movie goal and am proud to say I am 100% on track. In other news, I'm also approx. 1 week away from graduating school FOREVERuntil I get my master's. Oh, and Christmas [baking] is coming and New Year's and everything. Yay!...
11/1/10: Due Date
You can read my official review here.
Bottom line: Not The Hangover, but not too bad.
11/4/10: Morning Glory
I love Rachel McAdams, I love Harrison Ford, I love them together, I would have loved them better in a more well-written plot. This movie was okay, nothing epic. It was a cute story that definitely had it's moments.
Bottom line: Without Adams and Ford this movie would have been worthless.
11/10/10: 127 Hours
Ok, so you know a movie about watching some guy in the same place for however many days 127 hours comes out to is going to be a little slow, and it is. Getting Slumdog music guy was huge plus for this movie and Danny Boyle's stamp is all over this one which definitely makes it bearable but a lagging middle was inevitable. That being said, this was pretty good. Honestly though, to the people who supposedly fainted during this film, "weak!"
Bottom line: Cut it off!
11/13/10: Megamind
This movie was nothing like I thought it was going to be. Every once in a while central plot lines slip through my brain's digestion of trailers and marketing. I'm not exactly sure how but it's kind of nice going in blind. Megamind is a really cool twist on a classic story, something I think usually makes a pretty good movie.
Bottom line: One for the adults and the kids.
11/15/10: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1
It's true. Hands down best Potter film to date. I'm not huge Potter fan, but I did spend last summer catching up with pop culture and my Potter crazed boyfriend reading the books and watching [some] of the movies. This one is great because we are finally out of stuffy old Hogwarts so the scenery and special effects have a whole new landscape to magicatize. Nicely acted and true to the literary version as usual.
Bottom line: I love Ron, Ron, Ron WEASLEY!
11/18/10: Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
Hey! A second Chronicles of Narnia movie! No my friends, a 3rd. Where I was when the last one came out? No idea, but I was hear for this and I'm glad I was. Apparently the hot older bro was exiled the last time around which was entirely disappointing since I had no idea but I forgot approximately 3/4 way through this one. It's got all the Narnia spectacle you could want and is quite lovely.
Bottom line: It comes out today. You may want to see it.
11/20/10: The Next Three Days
OMG this movie was so epic it gave me a headache in a terrible way. My worst nightmare (literally re-occurring) is me trying to get somewhere within a certain time constraint and stupid shit preventing it. Welcome to this movie, I couldn't handle the suspense. It was one of those experiences where you're like damn if i knew then what I know now I would not have seen this but since I did I will gawk at its coolness.
Bottom line: This is srsly tmth.
11/29/10: Love and Other Drugs
Another sideswipe as far as major plot themes go (two in one month, odd). I failed to look into this movie beyond who was in it and the incredible OneRepublic song they used in the TV spot so I missed picking up on it's central theme prior to viewing. This was pretty good. A little artsy, a little tragic, and a little romantic. If you want to see Anne Hathaway's boobs here's your chance as well.
Bottom line: This is no Princess Diaries that's for sure.

Food: Cream Cheese Fudge
Obviously, by my choice in baking endeavors I'm a huge sucker for cream cheese and chocolate so when I saw this recipe I knew it'd be in my near future. I have to say though that this may very well be one of those "too much of a good thing" situations. This fudge is ok but definitely a far cry from any traditional fudge I've had. I feel like there needed to be more balance to the sweetness (nuts maybe). I attempted cutting the sugar and using semi-sweet chocolate but I'd recommend going with the original recipe. One thing is for sure, a little bit goes a loooooong way because this stuff is RICH. Also, if you look at the ingredients this sounds more like a frosting than a stand along treat and that is definitely a great way to go.
Cream Cheese Fudge
