I saw two movies this weekend. I watched "We Are Marshall" (if you have Comcast, it's On Demand right now). It was what I expected, but was entertaining. Definitely an inspriational flick (even though I kept thinking I was watching "Remember the Titans"--coach no one believed in, same damn soundtrack, underdog victory story). Writing is sub-par; acting, other than McConaughey and David Strathairn, and Ian McShane, is mediocre at best. But, if you're in the mood for a feel-good movie, it's definitely worth the watch. WE ARE. MARSHALL!

Yesterday, I went to see "Juno." Loved it! Script is hilarious! Acting is great. I expected to be entertained a la "Napoleon Dynamite," and I was. But, it had a lot more depth and heart than "Napoleon." Sort of more like "Garden State." You'll love it--and you'll want to go buy Tic Tacs and a cheeseburger phone afterward! Oh, and the soundtrack is really good--I got home and downloaded a few of songs from iTunes (go listen to "Anyone Else But You" by the The Moldy Peaches).

And speaking of soundtracks...I haven't seen the movie, but there are several fabulous songs on the "P.S. I Love You" soundtrack. Try "More Time" by Needtobreathe, "Last Train Home" by Ryan Star, and "Same Mistake" by James Blunt.
