Some more movies I've seen recently but no confession

A run down of some movies I've seen recently.  Definitely not all good!

In Time - 109 mins - 2.5 out of 5 stars


One word to describe this movie.. disappointing.

I love Justin Timberlake but this was a let down from beginning to end.  I had high hopes and In Time did NOT live up to them.  The storyline has promise but I didn't really feel it was played out as well as it could have been.  The acting was average.

(500) days of Summer - 95 mins - 4.5 stars out of 5


This film is brilliant.  I loved it from beginning to end (an end that I didn't really want to come).  The acting is pretty good.  Zooey Deschanel is now one of my favourites, based first on this movie and then followed up by her role as Jess in the TV show 'New Girl'.

I thought the storyline was excellent.  Made a difference to see a movie about guy meets girl and it actually have some very true elements to it.  I don't want to say too much about what happens because I firmly believe everyone should watch it and find out for themselves.

As soon as the movie finished I went and ordered the DVD.  I will be watching it again and again and I'm sure I will enjoy each time as much as I did the first.

Little Miss Sunshine - 101 mins - 3 out of 5 stars


I watched this movie almost immediately after (500) days of Summer, so I guess it had a lot to live up to.  It came highly recommended on forums and with a promising cast I thought I would give it a shot, despite the storyline not really being my cup of tea.

It was average.  The acting was okay.  There were a few lol moments.  The ending was pretty rubbish.

New Year's Eve - 118 mins - 4 out of 5 stars


I wasn't expecting great things from this movie.  So many of the 'all star cast'ers fail to deliver (Valentines Day for example), but this wasn't entirely all that bad.

The acting is good, especially from Michelle Pfeiffer as Ingrid.  Zac Efron and Ashton Kutcher are both hot, so that's the eye candy taken care of.  Then there is Robert De Niro for the tear jerker moments.  Definitely a good all round chick flick.  Not a whole lot here for the boys, beyond Sofia Vergara's boobs.  Sorry!
