Recently my girlfriend and I went to see "The Time Traveler's Wife." I'll be completely honest, there was only one reason I wanted to see this movie... Rachel McAdams. The movie is actually a very fresh take on the romance movie. The nudity, every time that the guy travels through time, got out of hand in my opinion, I don't like seeing a naked man every ten minutes or so. And the fact that the man falls in love with a young girl, that he waits for, was rather weird too. On the other hand, I liked that it was creative. I also enjoyed that they came up against odds to be together, and have a child. It was simply a story of love, and they did do it in a fresh way. Overall the movie was entertaining, however it wasn't my idea of a great movie, especially for a romance.
Bottomline: I would only recommend this to serious romantic movie lovers.
Score: 77

Inglourious Basterds
"Inglourious Basterds"
I've never been much of a Tarantino fan, so I was hesitant to get my hopes up about this movie. However violence, has always intrigued me. The thought of American-Jews fighting Nazis seemed like a new take on an old theme. Inglourious was actually not set up like I thought it would be; it was set up like a book, in chapter format. Most chapters, were one long scene, in one place, with a few exceptions. There was less action scenes than I expected, however the over-the-top gore that Tarantino is known for, does make an appearance. The story was more complex than I thought, so in that regard the movie overcame expectations. Overall the movie was very entertaining, but way to long.
Score: 80
Bottomline: I recommend this movie, for people who appreciate gore and don't mind language. Not for your average movie goer.

Changing of my blog.
I've decided to test my skills as a movie critic. So this blog isn't going to have the same function that it used to. As a disclaimer I would like to say that I am still a Christian, and that will factor into part of my reviews. I just lost the fire to blog about my spiritual thoughts, and I'm going to use this one to review movies... I love movies, so I figure I should be alright at this... If I'm not, I'll quit eventually.
