Leap Year

Q: What’s the movie about?

A: Following an Irish tradition, a woman (Amy Adams) flies to Ireland to propose to her boyfriend (Adam Scott) on Leap Day. But to her dismay her travel plans fail at every step of the way, and she gets stuck with a guide (Matthew Goode) who is her polar opposite… I wonder if they’ll attract?

Q: Who’s in the movie?

A: Amy Adams, Matthew Goode, Adam Scott, John Lithgow, Kaitlin Olson

Q: Is this movie worth the price of admission?

A: Proceed with Caution. Most of the twists and turns that keep the unlikely couple from getting to their destination require that they be extremely careless and idiotic, and that you, the audience, suspend your disbelief. So it starts out pretty corny, but by the end it actually gets you saying, “Aw. That was cute.”

Q: Will this movie make me laugh?

A: Yes, at how predictable it is.

Q: Will this movie make me cry?

A: Yes, at how predictable it is.

Q: Will this movie be up for any awards?

A: It deserves the Irish Tourism Board Award, because any woman who sees this will quickly come to believe that Ireland is not only beautiful and rustic, but also the current residence of that gorgeous man she has yet to meet and marry.

Q: How is the Acting?

A: I have yet to meet and marry Matthew Goode, myself. No, actually, I’m not into actors. But I do have yet to see Matthew Goode fall short of superb in any of the versatile roles I’ve seen him play. Amy Adams, while much less versatile, is perfectly adorable as usual. And no one could’ve been better cast for the role of the kind and loving but self-obsessed and superficial boyfriend than Adam Scott.

Q: How is the Directing?

A: The directing in this movie will have you asking, “Who is Anand Tucker?”… No, actually it won’t. In fact if you asked a group of people who’d just come out of seeing this film that very question, they would most likely reply, “I don’t know. Who?”

Q: How is the story/script?

A: If not for the participation of Amy Adams, this could have just as easily ended up on the Hallmark Channel.

Q: Where can I see the trailer?

Sex and the City

Q: What’s the movie about?

A: The four girls from HBO continue to deal with love and heartache.

Q: Who’s in the movie?

A: Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis, Cynthia Nixon, Jennifer Hudson, Chris Noth, Candice Bergen, David Eigenberg, Evan Handler, Jason Lewis, Mario Cantone, Willie Garson

Q: Is this movie worth the price of admission?

A: Proceed with Caution. At 2 hours and 20 minutes, it's like watching an entire season in one sitting, but without getting to hear nearly enough of that beautiful Sex and the City theme song which we love. Doo-doo-Doo-DOO-de-DOO-de-DOO-De-doooooo.

Q: Will this movie make me laugh?

A: The clothes.

Q: Will this movie make me cry?

A: The clothes.

Q: Will this movie be up for any awards?

A: Best product placement. Did you know that there's a website called bagborroworsteal.com, where you can rent designer purses for the week?

Q: How is the Acting?

A: Samantha still has all the good lines, and Charlotte is still cute as a button, but Miranda's negativity gets a little grating, and Carrie has never been more materialistic or selfish. In most cases, that would be the fault of the script, but by now, I think we've all accepted that these are real people.

Q: How is the Directing?

A: Someone should tell the director that a fashion show is not a story point. And five of them is the reason we all grow as old as these ladies, in the time it takes to watch this movie.

Q: How is the story/script?

A: True to the TV show, the dialogue is still cute, and poignant as ever. But there are moments in the plot that are hard to get past. Like the whole second act. Because if Carrie had stopped to listen to what Big was saying for just one second, she wouldn't have had any reason to be upset for the rest of the movie.
