Friends with Money stars Jennifer Aniston (best known as Rachel from Friends), Frances McDormand (who won an Academy Award for Fargo), Joan Cusack (from Arlington Road), and Catherine Keener (from Being John Malkovich). It was written and directed by Nicole Holofcener who previously wrote and directed the movie Lovely & Amazing. She has also directed a couple episodes of Six Feet Under and Sex and the City. This film is really good. It's good because of the acting and screenplay.

The four women in this movie are fantastic. This is one of two great movie performances from Jennifer Aniston (The Good Girl being the other one). She was so good in her role as a single woman who works as a maid and smokes pot in her spare time. She plays the role well. Frances McDormand is the best one in this whole film. I can't even begin to describe how good she is in the movie. She makes the whole movie, basically. Cusack and Keener didn't have big roles and didn't really stand out, but from the little you see of them, they're good.

Holofcener's screenplay is simply great. It shows that, even if you have everything, you have as much suffering in your life as people who don't have everything. This is shown using Jennifer Aniston's character as the person who doesn't have everything, and the other three women are the ones who have everything (such as money, husbands, kids, good jobs, big houses, etc.) But even these women have issues. And that's what's so great about this movie. It shows these issues that most people have. Holofcener took the four main issues people have in life and created four characters to represent each issue. And she does it in a beautiful way.

I highly recommend this film for fans of any of the four lead women in the movie, because they all do excellent in the movie (especially McDormand). And I also recommend it to anyone who doesn't like sugar-coated Hollywood movies because this is not one. It is a beautiful and honest movie.

I thought this movie was so stupid, pointless, and boring. The story is so random and not in a good way. I felt like it was trying to be random. The acting is terrible and it leaves you with a nasty taste in your mouth.

I don't like bashing films entirely so I'll say that the visuals are really good.

But the rest is just pathetic. A giant, evil rhino in the sky eats a little boy's parents. He finds a giant peach (which was created by crocodile tongues by the way) and climbs in it, finding some really weird giant bugs. The peach falls in the ocean and they encounter a shark made out of metal. Then they end up in Antarctica and meet undead skeleton pirates. I mean, the whole thing is so weird you just want to shoot yourself to make it stop.

And then they try to teach a valuable lesson about heroism. Same old clichés you see in all the other family movies.

I don't have anything against weird movies. But this one was trying to be weird and that was the problem.

I suggest you stay away from this one and see Alice in Wonderland or Beetlejuice instead.

Prime stars Deer Hunter actress Meryl Streep and Pulp Fiction actress Uma Thurman. It was written and directed by Boiler Room writer/director Ben Younger. I thought this movie was really good. The acting by Streep and Thurman was incredible. And the story was genius with an unexpected ending.

I'm sure you know the typical rom-com. Two people meet, have a great time together, something gets in the way, they break up, they get back together, and they get married and have lots of sex and babies and everything is just wonderful. Well this is different. Halfway through you are just positively convinced that this is how Prime is going to end. But it doesn't. That's all I'm going to say; see for yourself.

Meryl Streep was hilarious as the Jewish mother/shrink. I loved her. Besides the un-clichéd ending, she is the highlight of the movie.

Overall I thought this was a really good movie. It was one of the few movies where I didn't look at the clock to figure how much time there is left of the movie. It was entertaining and cliché-free. I really enjoyed it and I highly recommend it.

Salem's Lot stars David Soul (who previously starred in Magnum Force) as Ben Mears, and James Mason (who previously starred in North by Northwest) as Straker. It was directed by Texas Chain Saw Massacre director Tobe Hooper. Paul Monash adapted it from Stephen King's vampire novel. I think Monash did a great job with this adaptation. I think he was very creative, and you'll see what I mean when you see it.

What I loved the most about Salem's Lot was, like I said before, the creativity of the script. Due to low budget they could not hire different actors for every single character in the novel. So what the writer did was combine two to three characters into one. For example, Dr. Jimmy Cody was taken out. Instead they had Susan's dad, Bill, be the doctor. Monash combined the two subplots with the real estate agent having a crush on his secretary with the woman who's cheating on her husband and gets discovered. He had the secretary be the unfaithful wife and the real estate agent is the one she's cheating on her husband with. And something was added to the ending, which I won't spoil, but I guarantee you will love it.

I thought they did a really good job with the vampire makeup and costumes for a 70s made-for-TV movie. And some parts are actually scary, believe it or not. It's not going to haunt you at night but, at the moment, it's scary.

One of my problems with the film was that the actors don't look how they are described in the book. If you haven't read King's novel, you obviously won't have a problem with this. And the actors did do a good job in spite of how they look.

I definitely recommend this movie if you've read the book. The screenwriter did a great job with the adaptation. And if you haven't read the book, read it before seeing this movie. You'll like it more if you read the book first.

Me and You and Everyone We Know stars Miranda July, who also wrote the screenplay and directed it, and also stars John Hawkes who was previously in Identity (2003). I thought this film was just okay. The whole thing was fun and entertaining but it didn't really seem to be going anywhere. Like the TV show Seinfeld, it was about nothing but it wasn't very funny.

I did like the creativity of the direction and I liked the fact that July managed to make a movie about nothing entertaining and not boring. I thought the acting by the whole cast was great, especially July.

But the story was lacking any good character development, and, like I said before, it didn't really seem to have a main point or a destination. The dialogue was very plain and not colorful at all.

I'm not saying to not see this movie, but there might be better options in the independent genre, such as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind or The Good Girl.

Pulp Fiction is a movie starring Oscar nominee John Travolta (from Saturday Night Fever) and Samuel L. Jackson (from True Romance). It is directed by Quentin Tarantino, who previously directed Reservoir Dogs. This has got to be one of the best films I have ever seen. The whole thing is geniusly put together, amazingly acted, and creatively directed.

The dialogue in this movie is the cleverest dialogue I have ever seen in a film. It's the type of conversations that you would have every day with your best friend. Even if it is random, who cares? Tarantino is a great director. He uses some amazing camera angles, which at some point reminded me of Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. And the film being out of order keeps you interested throughout the whole film.

I think this is a must-see because it's so entertaining and, plus, it's a classic that everyone has to see at some point in their lives. And, plus, it answers all those questions you have burning inside you. "You know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris?"

Reservoir Dogs is a crime thriller starring Oscar nominee Harvey Keitel (who also starred in Taxi Driver) and Tim Roth (from Rosencratz & Guildenstern Are Dead). It is directed by Quentin Tarantino, directing his first feature-length film. I've got to confess that I was disappointed. I thought it was going to be fun, creative, wonderfully weird, etc. The whole thing didn't really seem to have a point. And the fun dialogue got old after a couple minutes into it. And it just kept building up and I thought it was going to lead up to an amazing climax, but it didn't. The whole film leads up to nothing. Thus it being pointless.

One thing I have to give the film is it is creatively directed by Tarantino. The use of music during the torture scene really lightens the mood, even though someone gets his ear cut off. It just would've been stupid without the music. And the opening scene where all the guys are at a restaurant talking about normal things is amusing and one of the best opening scenes in a movie ever.

But it all goes downhill from there. Like I said before, Tarantino makes you think like this is going to be a great film but it ends up disappointing. I really wanted to love this movie because of its creativity but the script completely ruined it for me.

I don't recommend this movie but I do recommend Tarantino's next film, Pulp Fiction. All of the positive aspects of this film that I mentioned above are in Pulp Fiction but ten times better. Plus, Pulp Fiction has a good story and actually leads up to something. So I suggest for you to skip this film and watch Pulp Fiction instead.

Girl, Interrupted is a biographical drama starring Oscar Nominee Winona Ryder as writer Susanna Kaysen and Angelina Jolie from Playing by Heart and Gia. It was written and directed by James Mangold, director of Heavy, and based on Kaysen's autobiography. I loved this film. Both Ryder and Jolie (especially Jolie) give amazing performances, both impressing me greatly because I've never seen such powerful performances from either of them.

Mangold shows us that you don't have to make a graphic film in order for it to still be intense. He shows us that a film can be made intense with just powerful acting and a powerful script that takes no prisoners. He geniusly does this throughout the whole film. Jolie is perfectly cast as Lisa, another woman in Susanna's ward. In the climax of the film (which I won't ruin) Jolie displays what acting is about when she finally confronts Susanna about her problems.

In conclusion, it's an amazingly acted and directed film. I highly recommend this movie but remember that it's not for everyone so don't yell at me when you see it and dislike it. But if you're a Ryder or a Jolie fan you shouldn't have a problem, because this is literally the best I've seen them do.
