Precious

Based on the novel "Push", an obese and poorly educated girl about to have her second child enrolls into an alternative school to fight for the life she deserves. Set in Harlem, this film is rough to watch with harsh language and scenes of abuse, but excellent casting makes for a powerful impact. Life has never been depicted in such a raw perspective as that of young Precious.

Paranormal Activity

A couple living in a suburban home encounter a demon that won't leave them alone or let them sleep. This low budget film is too predictable to evoke terror. Overall, its what I'd like to call: Lame.

2012

My Sister's Keeper

The youngest Fitzgerald daughter (Abigail Breslin) takes her parents to court in hopes of earning medical emancipation to let her chose to help her sister with leukemia.

Julie & Julia

Meryl Streep shines in her role as cooking star Julia Child. Her story mirrors that of blooger Julie Powell's (Amy Adams) 2002 personal challenge to cook all the recipes in Child's first published book. A lengthy film, so be sure to eat before viewing.

The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3

Buttery

Zombieland

With Zombieland Rules such as "Double Tap", "Beware of Bathrooms" and "Always Wear Your Seat Belt" this film is sure to make you laugh about a world full of horror.

The Informers

Set in the 1980s in Los Angeles, a variety of characters participate in a life filled with partying, drugs and sexual promiscuity. The large amount of characters made the film difficult to follow and offered no final resolution. Including Billy Bob Thornton to the cast, the story is bound to be a tad bit odd.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

If you were hoping for an intense X-Men intro film, this will not meet your expectations.
