Very good film. Alright, there are nude or mostly nude women, lots of blood and not a lot of remorse, but excellent film.
Denzel Washington is usually wonderful and it was nice to see Russel Crowe in something.

The Namesake
I wasn't exactly sure what to expect from this film. I love Indian culture, some of my favorite movies are Indian (Bride & Prejudice) so it was very nice to see further into the culture, especially with a family coming to America.
It was a very interesting film and was well done. Plus, the mother works in a library, how fun is that?

Meet the Robinsons
What a cute movie. Yes, a bit boring in spots, but it is a children's movie. I loved the dinosaur (I've got a big head and little arms) and frogs the most.
Its a nice movie about choosing your own future and actions having consequences.
Good for: People who liked Over the Hedge.

Lucky Number Slevin
So, an actual movie review, who would have guessed?
It started out slow and very unbelievable but once it got to the point of actually killing people (past the initial killings) it was very interesting. I don't know that I'd watch it again, but once was good.
There was, of course, some blood, but it wasn't too bad.
I really enjoy Bruce Willis in action films and I enjoy many of the other actors in the film.
I would recommend it if you like movies akin to The Big Hit.
