Review: Four Christmases


Brad (Vince Vaughn) and Kate (Reese Witherspoon) reluctantly have four Christmases with each of their divorced parents.

Fun, silly comedy. Nothing too serious here. In fact, the whole climax at the end was kind of anti-climatic. It felt slightly unbelievable and very rushed. But really it wasn't about the end, it was about all the crazy stuff that happened getting there. Great supporting cast including Kristen Chenoweth, Jon Favreau, Robert Duvall, Sissy Spacek, Mary Steenburgen, and Jon Voight.

My favorite parts of the movie:

Opening scene confusion
Baby stuff (you know, current lifestyle humor)
Brad's brothers
Nativity Play

4 out of 5 stars.

Review: Quantum of Solace


James Bond (Daniel Craig) delves deeper into Mr. White's secret organization in search for answers to Vesper's betrayal.

Lots of action in this one. I love Danial Craig as James Bond. Casino Royale was definately better, but this one was still fun. It was also a lot shorter at 1 hour and 45 minutes. I did find it odd that they made such a big deal about Gemma Arterton being a Bond girl and her part was relatively small compared to Olga Kurylenko's part who I didn't hear as much about. But of course she probably didn't have 6 fingers on each hand. Creepy...

My favorite parts:

the opera stakeout
Judi Dench as M
Lot of different locales

4 our of 5 stars.
