Rocket Man: This is a little known Disney movie that came out when I was a kid, I have fond memories watching it with my cousins at sleepovers and I was happy to find that it's still an enjoyable and funny movie, somethings aren't as good when you're more grown up but Rocket Man was still great.

Torn Curtain: A good, suspenseful cold war thriller. Julie Andrews, Paul Newman both do a good job. Perhaps not my favorite Hitchcock film, but the man's a master, they're pretty much all good.

Jack and Jill: Do not bother to see this movie. I thought from the previews/commercials I saw that it would be stupid but I went because a friend wanted to go and it was at the dollar theater. The movie is Adam Sandler portraying fraternal twins, so most of the movie you're seeing Adam Sandler in drag, which is just not pretty. There's a good message buried deep in the movie but I just don't think it's worth slogging through the awkwardness and stupidity to get there.

(500) Days of Summer: I enjoyed this movie, Joseph Gordan-Levitt and Zooey Daschell were both great.

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief: I don't know that that's the exact title but it's close enough. I haven't read the books at all but I just don't know how I feel about the whole concept. Parts of the movie were cool, a lot of it was weird and a lot of it seemed like it was a bit much for what I perceive the target age group to be.

Rio: I wasn't sure what to expect from this movie but I did enjoy it and I did laugh out loud while watching it. I was pleasantly surprised I also thought it was weird.

Foreign Correspondent: Another Hitchcock movie, I believe this was his second movie made in the US, possibly the third. This movie was good, and it was probably more exciting in it's day, due to what was going on in the world (WWII) and compared to what was going on in movies of the day. It's not my favorite Hitchcock movie but it's not at all a bad movie. It's very similar to North by Northwest, or rather the other way around.
