When In Rome (2010) - This movie was actually pretty cute. Some slapstick humor and of course, far-fetched, but it hit the mark with a feel good movie that tells all of us suckers to keep hoping beyond hope. I loved the Napolean and Pedro cameo. Aw, did I ruin it for you? Too bad! ;)

Funny People (2009) - No, just no. Talk about a movie that starts off okay, has a nice up-swing and then becomes incredibly drawn out and painful. There were some humorous moments and the basic concept was good, but it was needlessly long and spiraled into something very uninteresting to watch.

Confessions of a Shopaholic (2009) - I am definitely the opposite of a shopaholic, but I found the movie cute. Formulaic, knew exactly what was gonna happen, but it was sweet. One thing about fashion movies is that they always seem to think that garish fashion is good. It is not. Of course, I'm not all about brand names and trends and whatnot.

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011) - LOVE! When I decided to watch an Indian bachelor party road trip movie, I wondered if I was in store for a Hangover knock-off (see next film), but luckily I was not. The theme was very sweet and uplifting. Three friends embark on an adventure trip in Spain before one gets married. The male leads are all yummy and Hrithik Roshan is a dead-ringer and an improvement on Bradley Cooper which is kinda funny. Kalki Koechlin caught my eye b/c I saw her nose and thought, 'not Indian'. I was right. She was born to French parents who had moved to India before they had her. I think she's quite interesting with her background. I'll keep an eye on her. She already knew Tamil but learned Hindi for a role in another movie. Quite cool. Anyway, this movie touched with my heartstrings because it is about overcoming your fears and relishing every moment of life you have. It was a great movie and I highly recommend it. The adventures they choose are quite fun and I was happy to see it on a big screen and squirm in my seat and feel what they went through. Yup, I'm buying this one!! :)

The Hangover Part II (2011) - I saw this right after ZNMD ---^ and it was the complete opposite, despite the shared bachelor party idea. So first I was in Spain, then Thailand. What a trip that night! If you've heard of the sensation that is the movie The Hangover (2009), you know exactly what you're getting into. It was humorous for sure. But I don't really want to see a third one. The idea is getting stale. Guys get drunk, do crazy shit, have to remember it in the morning as they find a lost friend and find pictures of it later. Fun but raunchy. If you're into that type of thing.

El Juego de la Verdad (2004) - Spanish language movie about how the truth can set you free. But first causes a lot of problems! It was predictable of course, but fun. Let's just say, the mistaken scare of death and couple swapping and you've got it down pat.

Apparently I only watched recently-made movies this past week. (2004-2011) But I watched 6 movies in a week? Holy hell. Sometimes I surprise myself ;) Well, happy viewing!!
