| Gotta rout for the Roughriders, but I wouldn't be upset if the Alouettes won. |

Eat Pray Love - if there had more loving and less praying perhaps it would have been less unwatcheable.
Really disliked this film |

This seems to be a very common refrain. I have yet to talk to anyone who remotely liked it. |

Love and other Drugs
Entertaining romantic comedy. Jake Gyllenhaal has a wonderful kinetic energy and magnetism that is hard to resist, but Anne Hathaway is truly fine as the cynical wounded soul with the terrible disease. The film gets a little lost in what its purpose is - comedy or drama. There is a very strong and grounding scene with real parkinson's survivors - and there is far more sex in it than I was expecting. Not a bad thing, just a little jarring.
I give it a B-. |

Tangled ---- Disney's 50th (and final fairy tale-based) animated feature weathers initial snarls to winningly weave the Rapunzel tale into an old-school-meets-Digital-Age treatise on the eternal clash between filial duty and leaving the nest. Features a lovely vocal performance by Mandy Moore as the follicle-rich heroine, bravura work from Donna Murphy's manipulative witch/foster mom, a riotous vintage-Disney character in trail-sniffing horse Maximus, and breathtaking 3D effects. Overall, made my heart swell and my scalp tingle.

| Trish, that is so cool -- my only real down note was that there wasn't a tot or teen accompanying me -- departing parents and kids at the El Capitan were in major bubbly mode, and talking to each other about it. Very sweet. |

Rabbit Hole finds playwright David Lindsay-Abaire improving his Pulitzer-winning study of a couple barely surviving their son's death, opening up the property to create a delicately honest, ineffably touching mood piece. Courtesy of director John Cameron Mitchell, his peerless cast fronted by the translucent Nicole Kidman and a never-better Aaron Eckhart, this remarkably restrained, subtly resonant film sets a new gold standard for stage-to-screen adaptations.

| I'm all for Natalie Portman getting her kit off, but she's got to pick better material than No Strings Attached. |

| The film also has Olivia Thirlby, who absolutely blew me away in Si J'Etais Toi, as David Duchovny's daughter. Probably not the best pick for her, either. |

I saw Going the distance on my flight over and was pleasantly surprised. It is rom com (new term I see) but with a hinge of serious. The buddies were very funny and the chemistry between Drew and Justin is (for obvious reasons) very good. Justin Long has really good comedic timing. Very fun. I suppose the fact that I was on a long (10+) hours should be noted, as it may have influenced my viewing.
Thumbs up for me. |
