5 Movies Worth Watching

I actually do intend on reviewing every single one of them...at some point. Enjoy.

 

 

The Boys Are Back

Directed by Scott Hicks

Starring:

Clive Owen as Joe Warr
Nicholas McAnulty as Artie Warr
George MacKay as Harry Warr

If you don't like the cast, watch it for the scenery. I promise it's worth it.

 

Dorian Gray

Directed by Oliver Parker

Starring:

Ben Barnes as Dorian Gray
Colin Firth as Lord Hengry Wotton

Beautiful depiction of the book. I wasn't a fan of the liberties they took with the plot, but I suppose sometimes you have to accept compromise.


Julie & Julia

Directed by Norah Ephron

Starring:

Meryl Streep as Julia Child
Amy Adams as Julie Powell

An overall charming story about two women who found that cooking food brought joy into their lives. All I can say is that they are lucky.

 

 

The Rebound

Directed by Bart Freundlich

Starring:

Catherine Zeta-Jones as Sandy
Justin Bartha as Aram Finklestein

Definitely a guilty pleasure. Nothing about this was particularly original, but the cast was decent and the dialogue wasn't bland.

 

 

Up in the Air

Directed by Jason Reitman

Starring:

George Clooney as Ryan Bingham
Anna Kendrick as Natalie Keener
Vera Farmiga as Alex Goran

Mr Clooney was, as usual, charming and Anna Kendrick did quite a good job as Natalie. I'm not a fan of the ending, but everything else made it worth sacrificing a Sunday evening for.
