#20--Sherlock Holmes--Day 19

I was kind of disappointed with this movie. I love Rachel McAdams and Robert Downey Jr. so I was really looking forward to this. It definitely depicts a much darker take on Sherlock Holmes. This movie has a little bit of everything. Some action, some comedy (because Sherlock Holmes is a sarcastic ass), some romance, and some mystery. I was love this time period, the costumes, cars, etc. The only problem is that there are very long stretches of the movie that reaaallly drag out. The movie definitely did NOT need to be 2 hours long and at times I got sick of the bickering between Holmes and Watson.
I think anyone who enjoys crazy Sherlock Holmes tales of mystical mysteries will enjoy this movie, but it's a movie that you can really only watch one or two times.

#19--Food, Inc.--Day 19

So this movie is a little bit older than the other ones I have reviewed, but hey, I'm a poor college student and can't afford to go to the movies EVERY night. This documentary was awesome and sickening. It was very much like King Corn, information wise; however, it was portrayed more interestingly. Michael Pollan who's most famously known for his book "In Defense of Food" and Eric Schlosser, who is an investigative journalist and who's book Reefer Madness is AWESOME put together a great documentary.
I'm very interested in sustainable agriculture so I loved this film. Even if you weren't you would still enjoy this film because it is very eye opening to what really goes on in a lot of meat factories, and it's waaay more reasonable than a PETA advert.

#18--9--Day 18

This movie written and directed by Shane Acker and produced by Tim Burton was awesome! Tim Burton movies never cease to amaze me! Basically man and machine go to war, and man dies. 9, Elijah Wood, wakes up after being created by his master where he finds a talisman. He takes the talisman and begins a journey, not really sure of his destination. He eventually stumbles across beings like himself (1, 5, etc.) and makes a plight to rescue 2, who was captured in an effort to save him. They find the talisman and then create this creepy machine. I don't want to give too much away so I'll leave it at that. It may not sound incredibly exceptional, but it is really good.
Like all Tim Burton movie's it contains a very unique plot and the numbered creatures are adorable. Plus, it's backed by a great cast including: Christopher Plummer, Martin Landau, Elijah Wood, and Jennifer Connelly. It's the first animated movie I've seen in a while that wasn't rainbows and sunshine and directed towards children. I was really tired and I was still able to stay awake and enjoy it!

#17--The Tooth Fairy--Day 17

I can't help it. I love Dwayne Johnson. I loved the Game Plan, Gridiron Gang, etc. I'm not sure why, but I think he's awesome. This is a really great kid's movies and a good mindless comedy for some adults. Dwayne Johnson, a hockey player, is forced into servitude as a tooth fairy (commissioned by Julie Andews) after trying to tell Ashley Judd's daughter that the tooth fairy does not exist. I don't know what's better Dwayne Johnson in fairy wings or in a tutu, both are sure to ensure a chuckle. There is a large portion of the ending that revolves around hockey and it may not be a super fabulous movie with amazing plot twists, but it's definitely a cute movie.

#16--Leap Year--Day 16

Very much a chick flick. Very much like every other chick flick ever produced. Every now and then it's good to indulge in one; however, this particular one I wouldn't advise. If it wasn't for the adorable-ness of Amy Adams and the dashing-ness of Matthew Goode I probably never would have made it through this movie. It's saving grace aside from the attractive cast was the beautiful, scenic, Ireland.

I really don't even know what else to say. This usually happens with movies that aren't that great.

#15--Couple's Retreat--Day 16

Couple's Retreat has some parts that are really funny, but overall it is WAAAYYY too long. Furthermore, the movie becomes one big therapy session rather than a funny comedy about couples in therapy. Vince Vaughn has spurts of rambling on for 20 mins. that really aren't that funny and Jon Favreau is a disgusting womanizer. The women in this movie are beautiful, which may be why the group of guys that went along enjoyed it so much. Overall, the movie wasn't completely terrible, but 2.5 hours was way too long.

#14--Zombieland--Day 14

So every movie I've seen with Jesse Eisenberg I have not been impressed by. Yes, I think he's adorable, but both The Education of Charlie Banks and Adventureland were just as terrible as Zombieland. Abigail Breslin is adorable and Woody Harrelson is hilarious, but other than that...not much happens in this entire movie, which really makes me wonder why they've started filming a second one already. I suppose it was nice to see a zombie movie that wasn't just horror and had a little comedy, but...overall, I just wasn't impressed.
