Bridesmaids



This is a movie that has been called the female version of the Hangover and I can tell you it is just as raunchy and just as funny. Kristen Wiig is hilarious in her role as the best friend of the bride trying hard to be the perfect maid of honor and having trouble doing anything right. When you pair her with a bunch of other bridesmaids, especially Melissa McCarthy you are bound to see a roller coaster of calamities that will make you laugh until you cry.

Obsessed


Everything in Derek's (Idris Elba) life is perfect, he has a new house, a great job, a wonderful wife and son, until one day he goes to work and meets the new temp (Ali Larter). She mistakes his friendliness for romantic interest and makes it her mission to "land" the boss. Predictable and definitely not Fatal Attraction, but I actually thought this was a decent movie. Beyonce Knowles did a good job as the wife and Larter was a good psycho girl.

The Other Boleyn Girl


Based on the bestselling novel The Other Boleyn Girl is about 2 very different sisters who end up competing for the same man. When the girls uncle decides that Anne (Natalie Portman) should seduce the King (Eric Bana) to better their situation they are all surprised when it is her sister Mary (Scarlett Johansson) who claims his attention. Driven by jealously Anne is determined that she should not only win over the King, but should be his Queen. Not a horrible movie but I thought it would be better with such a good cast.

Elizabeth: The Golden Age


In this sequel to Elizabeth from 1998 Cate Blanchett returns to the role of beloved Queen Elizabeth. In this film you learn of her interest in Sir Walter Raleigh and her pressure to marry and produce heirs at the same time she is trying to take her country to war. I think Blanchett is an amazing Elizabeth and it makes perfect sense why she was nominated for Best Actress for this role.

The Ex


Zach Braff plays Tom a new dad who seems to have trouble holding down a job and finding a direction in his life. When he starts working for his father-in-law he comes face to face with his wife's (Amanda Peet) ex-boyfriend (Jason Bateman) and things start heading south. Not a very good movie, so I wouldn't waste the time watching it.
