Forgetting Sarah Marshall

So Curtis and I went to some Thai food at Bangkok Spices (good digs if you like Thai) and headed to the AMC with full intent of seeing Iron Man... but there was an incredible line to get in, so we decided to switch our plans up. Instead, we saw "Forgetting Sarah Marshall." I have to say, I had no clue really what this movie was going to be all about, but I ended up enjoying myself. Funny movie... just dont bring the kids. Mature content all around. But then again, what else would you expect from an Apataw production.

We Own The Night

Joaquin Phoenix, Marky Mark, Eva Mendes and Robert Duvall. Definitely not what I expected this movie to be at all. I went into the movie last night with a few friends thinking that it was going to be an action packed battle between two brothers who found themselves on opposite sides of the "law." Instead, what I got was a great period piece that told a deep story of transformation for a family who was controlled by "the law." I think I am still figuring out what I "got" out of the movie, but I can honestly say that I really enjoyed it. The storytelling was done really well and led me down a path of discovery that was deeply invested in the characters in the story.

I still cant get over Joaquin Pheonix though. I just wanted him, in the middle of the movie, to break out into just the chorus of "Ring of Fire." If there was a disappointment.. that was it.

3:10 to Yuma

Hallelujah! The Western is back. Last night I went and saw the new Russell Crowe / Christian Bale movie - "3:10 to Yuma." It has been a long time (last I can remember was Tombstone / Young Guns) since a good western was put out there. Good flick, with a great message of overcoming yourself and re-defining the vision you have of yourself. I aint no rancher.
