Half price rentals at the local video store equals a lot of movies for us.

Breakfast at Tiffany's: My wife and I wanted to see it just because it was notable. As I recall, we both kind of liked it.

The Other Guys: When the mother-in-law couldn't make it to see Inception, the wife and I decided that this looked good, so we saw it. It was pretty good, defiantly cleaner than other random comedies we've been to see (I'm looking at you The Hangover). Mark Wahlberg should stick to comedies, he's good at them. Its nice to see Michael Keaton back in action too.

While Adam McKay's other movies with Will Ferrel are pretty zany, this one was more reserved, with a real plot and characters. What I didn't get at all was the credits sequence. It's obviously a movie where they adlibbed a lot and could have shown the flubs, but the credits had graphs and charts on the TARP bailouts and how much money the CEOs were making, etc. This is a movie with ONE throwaway line during the epilogue about the bailouts. It's like McKay wanted to make a message movie, but didn't have the guts to actually make it relevant to the plot, so he shoved his politics into the credits sequence. I don't get it, and it kind of ruined my enjoyment of the whole movie.

The Bounty Hunter: My wife usually says that I have a grudge against romantic comedies. I keep pointing out that they're all the same, and most of them (especially this one) get terrible reviews. She said she doesn't care, as long as there are a couple good laughs. I agree, as long as its cheap.

This movie has 0 laughs. Not one laugh out loud moment. It looked liked they barely tried to have any to begin with, and the ones I could tell they were really trying involved physical injury to a character tertiary to the plot. All of the characters are unlikable from beginning to end. It was just a bad movie. And I can't tell if Gerard Butler was trying to have a slight Scottish accent or is just really bad at faking an American one.

The Prestige: I really enjoyed this movie, but I would have enjoyed it so much more if it wasn't one of the movies I thought I'd never see but was interested in so I read the summary online. Ruined everything. Still, a very clever movie, with great acting from Wolverine, Batman, Black Widow, and Alfred. ;-)
