The Boy went to see Transformers 2 last week and he enjoyed it immensely. Although I was urged to accompany him, I respectfully declined. Afterwards he said he – and I quote directly – “felt drowsy in the middle part”. That from a boy who will watch static infomercials for days hours on end if given the chance.
I think I’ll wait until it’s on DVD for a buck a week before I sneak a look (like I did the first one).
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past – A new spin on the single most tired premise in RomCom history — hire a leading man who is an enemy of comedy. Stars Matthew McConaughey and the lovely but not-exactly-hilarious Jennifer Garner.
Whatever Works – Woody Allen’s 285th movie, the 247th with the same theme: older neurotic Jew in a relationship with hot young girl who could be his granddaughter. Larry David as Woody Allen. Reviews are mixed. Middle-aged Jews love it, young girls are appalled.
The Time Traveler’s Wife – “Where were you last night and don’t tell me the Middle Ages, you bastard!?”

[This] film wasn’t an accident, just like Jesus wasn’t an accident. It took real vision to pull off, starting with the theme of a parent’s love for his child, and the lengths he will go to to get her back from a wily South American dictator. Also, it has explosions, and a rockin’ saxophone-driven soundtrack that really gets the people moving in their seats.
