Predictable, unoriginal, poorly acted, yet mildly entertaining.

Sequel not as good as the first release, but entertaining enough.

All About Steve

Wow, what an incredibly bad movie. Bullock decided to stop acting and switch to imitating, to the point of extreme annoyance, and the story bored me to tears.

Irony and sarcasm go hand in hand in this very funny movie. Strong play by Williams.

Enid Blyton

What an insufferable woman Enid Blyton was. Very interesting to watch the discrepancy between the private and public Enid, wonderfully portrayed by Bonham Carter.

Real and raw indie drama. Tangible view of living in despair at the bottom of the societal pyramid. Excellent performances by Leo and Upham.

Whatever Works

Latest installment of Allen's cartoonesque view of the world, this time masked as an absurdist romantic comedy. David is enjoyable as the grumpy deep thinker. As much as I appreciate Wood's huge acting talents, doing accents isn't one of them. The dialogue is quirky, mind-provoking and funny.
