Get Him to the Greek-A Movie Review

December 12, 2010 John Comedy, Elisabeth Moss, Jonah Hill, Nicholas Stoller, Rose Byrne, Russell Brand, Sean Diddy Combs

Aaron Green gets things done. The ambitious 24-year-old has been given a career-making assignment. His mission: Fly to London and escort a rock god to L.A.’s world famous Greek Theatre for the first-stop on a huge comeback tour. His record mogul boss, Sergio Roma, gives him one warning: “The artist is the worst person on Earth. Turn your back on him at your own peril.” British rocker Aldous Snow is a brilliant musician, but due to a bad break up and nose-diving career, has fallen off the wagon and is now a drunken disaster. This was better than expected.

Julie and Julia – A Movie Review

February 22, 2010February 21, 2010 John Amy Adams, Chris Messina, Comedy, Cooking, Drama, Frances McDormand, French, Jane Lynch, Julia Child, Meryl Streep, Nora Ephron, Stanley Tucci

Based on two true stories, “Julie & Julia” intertwines the lives of two women who, though separated by time and space, are both at loose ends until they discover that with the right combination of passion, fearlessness and butter, anything is possible.It’s not the movie of the year, but Streep and Adams and outstanding, and all the supporting characters are excellent. The screen play is very interesting, and the two stories are woven together nicely. This is is a movie well worth watching.
