This week is “three word title” week…
When in Rome:
Since I’ve already admitted to liking chick flicks and romantic comedies, I won’t bother pretending I don’t want to see this. And Kristin Bell is just all kinds of awesome. Her performance in Veronica Mars means that I’ll see anything she’s in for decades. Besides, this looks to be hilarious. I may not make it to the theater to see this one because of time and money constraints, but I want to. If you have the means and the desire, go see it.
Edge of Darkness:
I went to a screening of this on Tuesday and just before the show I tweeted and posted on Facebook that I wanted this to be good. Luckily, it was. I haven’t seen the original mini-series. I want to, it is in the Netflix queue. But word on the street is that it is great. While I wouldn’t call this movie great, it was intriguing and kept my attention the whole time. The only real downside to this film is Mel Gibson’s accent and nasally voice. At times it threatens to ruin the film, but never quite does. Every other performance here is nearly flawless. I would warn, however, don’t go in expecting an action thriller. There is action, but most of the story unfolds slowly over its almost two hour length and is only punctuated by action. To me, this movie is worth the price of admission.
