Cary Grant goodness

His Girl Friday (1940)

It was fun to watch a Cary Grant movie. This movie is a fast paced in story and dialog...maybe a bit too fast for me. I was exhausted by the end just trying to keep up with what they were saying. It was a pretty entertaining,although a bit schmaltzy at the end. Perhaps that is too be expected with a Cary Grant movie. To sum it up...it was fairly fun and I'm glad I watched it.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)

This was a pretty fun movie...although not funny enough to make it on to my all time best romantic comedy list. And I didn't know that you'd end up seeing all of Jason Segal multiple times...not a good decision to not keep the shot above the waist. I certainly did not need to see ALL of him....just kinda made me cringe. But then again...maybe Jason loves to be naked. I don't know. It was distracting....and not in a good way. Perhaps the best part was the Dracula Muppet Musical at the end. Now that was FUN!

Dreamgirls (2006)

This movie was just "okay" for me. The story line was mildly interesting, but I always felt like an outsider watching these characters. I was never really super involved in their story and had a hard time relating. That said, I do love Beyonce and Jennifer Hudson was awesome. I probably won't go out of my way to watch it again. But if you're in the mood to half watch a movie, then put it on.

I really enjoyed this film. It's captivating and intriguing from beginning to end. Russell Crowe does an amazing job in this role and is excellent paired with Jennifer Connelly. If you haven't seem this movie yet, I would highly recommend it.
