Seven Psychopaths

Pause, pause, bang-bang, pause, choke, bang, pause, pause, bang-bang-bang-bang, slash, slash, pause, bang-bang, etcetera.

And one great, big long YAWN.

Hotel Transylvania

Not a bad movie--though certainly not a great one--I guess I'm just happy to watch an animated movie that is not yet another Dreamworks or Pixar retread-sequel.

I couldn't tell from listening that Adam Sandler was the lead, so major points for that.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Interesting to see the movie adaptation of a book being written & directed by that book's author.  

Believe it or not, it even ends up being a good adaptation.

English Vinglish

So good, and so fun to watch, it could have been a Top-3 box-office hit.

That is, if it weren't for the fact that American audiences don't like to read their movies.

OMG Oh My God!

Where George Burns & Morgan Freeman have gone before, here comes Akshay Kumar in a comedy that manages to bring organized religion & its leaders to their knees, while still making God himself come off as one cool guy.

A miraculous feat, indeed.

Looper

Jo-Go Levitt played a young Bruce Willis, and as good as the makeup job actually was, I still found it rather jarring.

My initial thought was, "why don't they make their appearances meet in the middle?," which is of course ridiculous; Levitt is an actor, willing to do absolutely whatever it takes for a role, while Willis is a movie star, willing to make people do absolutely whatever it takes for him.

Pitch Perfect

When it comes to filmed entertainment about karaoke-lovin' teens, I gotta say, I much prefer this to "Glee."

Being as the movie is about acapella groups, I didn't end up with a headache at the end from continually wondering where the orchestra was hiding.
