J. Edgar : Shockingly Interesting

When I first saw the previews for this is sparked my interest. Plus, having Leonardo DiCaprio in it didn't hurt either. This film was a bit long, but well done. Needless to say it was an eye opener of a bio pic on a man I knew some about but not a lot. Definitely interesting, and worth seeing at least once. One of the best bio pics I have seen.

Breaking Dawn Part One

I have never read any of the Twilight books, but I have seen all the films. Eclipse still remains my favorite, but Breaking Dawn beat what I expected. I was really and pleasantly surprised by this film. Though the telepathic werewolf conversation was a bit cheesy, and the pivotal imprinting moment was a bit off, the rest of the film was good. I wasn't left wondering when will this be over.Too bad, the first two films weren't like this. However, this still has not peaked my interest in reading the books. Though I've been told they are better than the film.

Immortals : Ambrosia for movie goers

I have always been fascinated with Mythology. So when I saw the preview for Immortals, I knew I wanted to see it. Luckily, unlike Clash of the Titans, remake/revision. Loved the original. Good story that still paid homage to the original Theseus and the Minotaur myth. Only issue was Gods relationships were unclear at points, such as Neptune being Zeus' brother. Plus, the Gods/Goddesses specialties could have been explained, such as Aries, as the God of War. Otherwise, an excellent myth film.
