Hotel Rwanda:
So this is the 2nd movie I've watched about the situation in Rwanda (Beyond the Gates was the other). And this movie was equally as moving if not more so. Staring Don Cheadle as a hotel manager who takes in refugees from the ethnic cleansing taking place outside the hotel in surrounding area. I don't really need to go further into detail but it was a very moving and good movie. I wouldn't recommend this movie if you looking for a laugh but if you want to get pissed at humanity and maybe enjoy a cry... this is your choice.

Traitor:
Hey! look at that, another movie with Don Cheadle and look at that!!! Another excellent movie. Very good movie about espionage and terrorism on a global scale. Excellent plot and lots of twists and really does keep you on the edge of your seat throughout. I would def recommend this movie for a Friday or Saturday night where you can curl up on the couch with some popcorn and turn the lights down low and the stereo up loud. Great thriller and great movie.

Curious Case of Benjammin Button"
Well, since my girl is probably the greatest girl in the world and since she dominates her job like a true champ, she won some free theater vouchers and so we took advantage of this and went to see this movie. I will have to say that this was one of the best movies I've ever seen. Brad Pitt is def one of the best actors of our time and Cate Blanchet was equally excellent in her role as well. I would def say this was a great love story and an fantastic journey of a strange character. Aging backwards was a creative plot twist and the makeup artists did a magnificent job. I would def want to own this movie when it comes out on blu-ray and, though i haven't seen Slumdog, I would say it def has best picture qualities.

The Holiday:
Chick Flick!! and a long one too. But not a bad one. I mean, it wasn't too sappy. I didn't really like the ending b/c it just didn't seem logical or practical but it was still a very "happy" movie. Jack Black wasn't really that funny but who said he has to be all the time? I think Kate W is pretty hot with her clothes on and Cameron Diaz is hot even as she ages. Still, chick flick. Not gonna be re-watching this one anytime soon.

Into the Blue:
Jessica Alba in a bikini and under water. It could have been such a better movie than it was. It just really dragged on and on and lacked the drama it seemed to produce in its trailers. Still Jessica Alba might have looked her best ever in this movie and the other blond chick is also super hot and they spend about half the movie in bikinis or less, but that's really all this movie has to offer.
