It's Complicated

This movie is quite difficult to see if you live in the Vancouver area. The first attempt was on December 27th. There were no extensive lineups for the tickets so in my mind all was well. But apparently there were only the front rows left so my friend and I decided to do something else. Next attempt happened on December 29th and this time there was a huge line. I am talking about the entire theatre being full. There was no chance on earth that we were going to make it. Finally, I succeeded. We arrived on January 2nd to a packed theatre. Apparently people like to go out these days, insane I know, because the line was out the door. We got in our seats about two minutes before the show started and after all that trouble I had high hopes. It is as if I had built it up in the lineups.

The movie was alright. Pretty predictable. Was it really worth the struggle? Not really. Meryl Streep was good, as was the rest of the cast. John Krasinski, better known as Jim from the Office, was hilarious. His usual charming self was great to see on a big screen.

Invictus, Pirate Radio and Young Victoria

I love going to the movies. Whether it is at the cheap local theatre or the big comfy theatres, I love it. As school is complete I have had lots of time to catch up on the movies I have been missing.

Invictus. It was not as good as I had hoped it would be. It was as if they tried to address all of these issues without actually going really in depth on any of them. Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon were great though.

Pirate Radio. Go see it! Literally, so good! I was laughing from start to finish. Brit humour at its finest.

Young Victoria. Go see it too! Well go see it if you are into historical films and romance. It is not a full on harlequin but it is a great story with love. Emily Blunt played a wonderful Queen Victoria. It may be too soon to say but may be one of my new favourites.

Brothers

Oh Jake Gyllenhaal.

I have been waiting for this movie since I saw the preview which was I believe earlier this summer.
The movie was pretty good and I love Natalie Portman as well. Tobey Maquire was really good in this too.
Alright, alright, the entire cast was great including the kids.
There was something missing though. I can't put my finger on it but there was.
This movie, though, was probably one of the most intense movies I have ever seen.
..Did I mention Jake Gyllenhaal?
