2012


Steph... By no means is this a brilliant movie, but it is fun. The special effects were good. Los Angeles totally got trashed. What really made this movie for me was Woody Harrelson and John Cusack. Woody Harrelson is always great in his eccentric roles and I always love the dry, sarcastic wit of Cusack. My only real complaint with this movie is that is was way to long. At almost 3 hours, that's a lot of floods and buildings crashing to take in. So if you have time to spare, don't want to think too hard, and be entertained this movie is perfect.

Kris... I really liked 2012 but it wont win any awards. Its a big dumb action movie. I say that in the best way.This is Woody Harrelsons second good movie in a row. The first being Zoombieland. He excels at these type of roles. John Cusack is very dependable and its good to see him in some big movies for a change. The movie is long but it never feels like it lags. All in all this is a movie you should check out on the big screen.

Fantastic Mr. Fox


Kris... I really liked this movie. Clooney was very funny as always. So was Bill Murry. I don't really like Meryl Streep but she was adequate. This old school animation was some how refreshing.

Steph.... This movie was a breath of fresh air. It manages to be classic and new all at the same time. The comedy was off beat and somewhat subtle but always funny. The actors/voices were wonderful, but then again its hard to go wrong with Meryl Streep, George Clooney, and Bill Murry. I really enjoyed the British, indie flavor of the film.
