Into The Wild

I just have to say that if you have not had a chance to see this movie yet, you're missing out. We watched it last night and it was one of the best movies I have seen in a very long time. Sean Penn did an awesome job. It was beautifully acted and directed. The shots of Alaska were amazing. Makes me want to plan a vacation to Alaska! Seriously, I've always wanted to visit Alaska to experience the true beauty of the wild. One day....one day.

Another movie that I think I can recommend was a surprise. The Dead Girl. I found this while browsing Netflix and thought it would be a long-shot at a decent movie, so I put it on my queue. I was skeptical of the potential of this movie because 1) it had Brittany Murphy as one of the main characters. And...I guess that's really the only reason I was skeptical. Good enough reason though, right? I mean, Brittany Murphy??? Anyways, the movie was actually surprisingly good! I really enjoyed it. And the Murph didn't annoy me too much. And I have to say Giovanni Ribisi's character - LOVED HIM. Although his part was small, he just seems to do no wrong. Ever.

Oh! Something I don't want to see - PINEAPPLE EXPRESS. Okay, Seth Rogen, we get it...you just might be a pot head in real life and that's just so cool. Really. Ugh. Superbad was okay, at best...Knocked Up - not too good. I don't understand all of the hype that movie received. If I never see a movie with him in it again, I'd be happy.
