I haven't taken any pictures in awhile (been so busy!) but thought I would review a movie I watched last night. I have been meaning to rent Vantage Point for awhile and I finally did. What a great movie! Steve and I both love the Bourne movies and the Italian Job and with those movies came great car chase scenes. The one in Vantage Point rivals the Bourne Ultimatum and blows Italian Job's out of the water! It was a very intense movie and I couldn't even glance at a magazine while watching it I was so enthralled. It is about a summit meeting on terrorism in Spain seen from several viewpoints. William Hurt, Dennis Quaid, Matthew Fox and Forest Whitaker star in it. It was truly compelling and a must see!
After Vantage Point, I watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall. It was good but not great. I like the other Judd Apatow movies with the same actors (Jason Segal, Paul Rudd, Seth Rogen & Steve Carell (although they weren't in FSM), Jonah Hill, etc.) like 40 year old Virgin, Knocked Up, Superbad... and I was a huge fan of Freaks and Geeks (also by Apatow) when it was on TV. Like those other movies though, I didn't like them that much the first time around. I watch them everytime they are on though and they get funnier and funnier. Kristen Bell wasn't right in the part of Sarah Marshall (although I do heart her- Veronica Mars rocked!) and Russell Brandt was a total scene stealer because he is just so funny.
Just thought I'd share!
