Movie Chunk!

I’ve watched a good handful of movies lately and though I haven’t felt the need to do full reviews on any of them, I thought I’d give a quick overview of what I thought of them. So in no particular order:

Penelope–I loved Penelope!! This one will be a permanent part of my collection and one I’ll probably watch many more times. James McAvoy wasn’t so mushy throughout, but there was just enough to still make me feel very ready to swoon over him by the end. The characters were great and they really did a great job of still making it feel like a sort of fairy tale.

Dan in Real Life–This was disappointing. There were a small handful of entertaining moments, but overall, it left me annoyed with the characters and annoyed that I had just sat and wasted time watching it.

Enchanted–Definitely one to see! I didn’t find it quite as amazing as everyone else did, but I still thought it was great. They pulled off the story rather nicely and it was good to see something that hasn’t already been done 15 times, ya know?

Horton Hears a Who–I’m still on the fence with this one. There were some moments that really cracked me up, but otherwise, I had trouble keeping my attention on it. I’ll have to give this one another shot sometime and see if it was just that boring or if I was just too inattentive at the time.

Walk Hard–Horrible. Jenna’s performance was awesome though, and worth seeing if you’re a big fan of The Office (and also to spot how many other Dunderheads you can spot in the film) but otherwise it was just hard to watch. The making fun of things and shoving it in your face was just a little too blatant for me; I need a little more subtlety.
