Death at a Funeral
An outrageous story of a complicated, character-filled group of people gathering for a funeral. A "Waking Ned Devine"- like movie loaded with unbelievable moments that make you laugh, gasp and keep you entertained while completing ignoring all formalities or respectful elements of a funeral.
My only problem: Can't think of one!
Rating: Recommended if you remember that this has nothing to do with how I see funerals or what I wish would happen at funerals. This movie is outrageous and if you are in the mood to laugh, rent it.
August Rush
A farfetched story of an abandoned child who believes his parents will come and find him through "the music". You guessed it: in the end... the family is reunited.
My only problem: Hmmm...where do I start? Maybe at the fact that this could never happen? Maybe my distain for Robin Williams' disturbing character? Maybe because this kid seemed way too happy? Hmm... I just don't know what my only problem with this movie is....
Rating: Only recommended to self-proclaimed cheese-balls who like any movie with a swelling sound track.
Looking forward to... Lars and the Real Girl and Juno (although I have seen it four times already), both of which come out on Tuesday!

we really liked Death at a Funeral too.
Hmmm, somewhat words for "August Rush" likers.... I won't take the "self-proclaimed cheese-ball" comment personally because a) it's a decent movie because of the sound-track and the musicianship, not the plot-line or the characters, so I totally agree with you there, and b) since I know you don't like Lord of the Rings or any other movie with a little bit 'o fantasy in it, so it makes sense that you wouldn't go for a movie like this, haha!
