The Kids Are All Right
Aug 1, 10

When I purchased my ticket the counter girl asked me "You know what this movie is about...right?". I giggled and said yes. I'm wondering how many people thought this was The Who documentary and got surprised when they learned it was about a lesbian couple who had 2 children via sperm donation.

Julianne Moore and Annette Bening were great as Jules and Nic. They both used the same sperm donor and gave birth to Joni and Laser. Yep..his name was Laser and I think that's kick ass!! Anyway....Joni and Laser decided to find their sperm donor. It's Mark Ruffalo. The movie just shows the ups and downs of their now strange family dynamic and a few twist and turns that as a viewer I saw coming a mile away!

It left me wanting to know a little more at the end of the movie but other than that I enjoyed it.

Rating: ★★★

I was so excited that the Santikos Silverado in little ole Tomball Texas was showing this movie. They have been showing the smaller independent movies for at least a week and as soon as I see the movie times I pounce!

I really wanted to see this movie and I'm glad I did. Marisa Tomei, Jonah Hill and John C Reilly were all great in this movie. Its about Molly (Tomei) who meets John (Reilly) at a party and they start dating. The wrench in the bicycle spoke is of course Molly's son Cyrus played by Hill. Reilly and Hill were great together

I really don't know how to describe this movie. It was a little comedy and a little drama. I really enjoyed it. I'm also glad to see Jonah Hill in this type of role. I'm glad he won't be spending his whole career making 'vag-jokes'.

Letters to Juliet


Letters to Juliet
June 2010

I remember the first time I saw this movie trailer and in those 2 minutes it somehow hit me in the heart at the right spot and I just started to cry. I'm not sure if it was the combination of the love story and Taylor Swift song or maybe it was the correct time of the month but I whispered to my friend through my tears "I have to see that movie".

I'm a sucker for a stereo-typical love story. I took my mom to this movie and she loved it. I thought it was charming. No spoiler alerts needed for this movie. You know what will happen.

Cute date movie.
Since it took me so long to write this ts already off the theaters so when it comes out on dvd rent it with a sweetie and have a sweet night.
