Film: 1 Year, 100 Movies - March

3/5/10: Alice in Wonderland
I had been anticipating the release of this film since I first heard it was coming out a few months ago. Now, I’m not advocating the use of controlled or illegal substances, but if I was more into that I definitely would have done things differently. I was most entertained by the 3D element in the credits which tripped me out. I’ve never read the real book, so this movie REALLY made no sense. I know Alice isn’t supposed to make sense, but it’s at least supposed to be fun. This one just felt dark and depressed.

Bottom line: Don’t get your hopes up, it’s not as cool as it looks.

3/2/10: She's Out of My League

Bottom line: This movie is seriously hilarious. Fun, brainless, and entertaining, watch it.

3/8/10: Hot Tub Time Machine
Everywhere She’s Out of My League succeeded, this crap epicly failed. I’m so happy I saw this at a free screening because I really would have walked out, something I’ve only done once in my entire movie going life. You also need to keep in mind that I find John Cusak super hot so if he doesn’t do it for you there are literally no redeeming factors in this film. The humor is stupid, the acting mediocre, and the clichés run rampant.

Bottom line: If I ever meant this more, it’s now…Don’t see this, you’d have a better time actually attempting to travel back in time.

3/14/10: Remember Me
You can check out my full review here.

Bottom line: You’ll leave feeling it lacked in a lot of areas, but it makes you think enough to be worth it.

3/18/10: Brooklyn's Finest
You gotta love a good flick about the NYPD, and you gotta like a mediocre one, Brooklyn’s Finest fits the latter. It’s cast is pretty good and there is some power to the performances. There are some good action scenes and, like I’ve said before, I’m a sucker for ensemble stories where everyone connects. I wasn’t happy with how depressing everything was in the end (I like a few happy endings when there are so many stories tied together) and there wasn’t a shred of authenticity to the location or NYPD.

Bottom line: Not bad, not good. Overall, it’s not really worth a trip to the theater.

3/19/10: Repo Men
You can check out my full review here.

Bottom line: I’m not gonna lie, it was kinda cool… but it just gets weird, then a little too weird.

3/20/10:The Bounty Hunter
This movie has a dazzling lead couple and interesting premise. I liked the story, despite its predictability. Jennifer Anniston is adorable (as usual) and Gerard Butler is hot (as usual). They have good on-screen chemistry and are the only reason a movie like this isn’t a complete mess.

Bottom line: It’s a meh-worthy romcom that doesn’t pull out any tricks.
