Knowing

The movie begins with a time capsule being buried at a new elementary school and a strange girl's contribution to the capsule is a sheet of random numbers. When the time capsule is dug up 50 years later and each child is given a letter the son of scientist John Koestler (Nicholas Cage) receives the numbers. He realizes the numbers represent every major disaster that has happened in the past 5o years and that there are more numbers indicating things happening in the near future. A strange movie that was not horrible, but not one of Cage's best.

Push

This movie is about some children who have "special" abilities and who are hiding from a corrupt governmental group called the Division who are trying to take all those with abilities and create an all-powerful weapon. They have to unite to defeat those who want to destroy them. A major disappointment.

New In Town

When Lucy (Renee Zellweger) volunteers to take a temporary move to Minnesota to re-structure company factory she never bargained on the total culture shock it would be. Not only are the employees odd and belligerent, but she comes to really like them and the union guy representing them. Kind of a cheesy move with horrible Minnesota accents, but many will like it.

Bride Wars

Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson star in this movie about 2 best friends who are both engaged to be married and whose weddings are accidentally booked on the same day. Common sense says one of them would have to change the date, but unfortunately if they do they cannot have their dream wedding location. A war begins between the two brides. I know this was supposed to be really funny, but it was so over the top I have to admit by the end of the movie I didn't like either one of them.

Confessions of a Shopaholic

Based on the best selling books, this comedy is about a serious shopaholic who is trying desperately to get a job with a glamorous fashion magazine, but unfortunately the closest she can come is a financial magazine in the same building. As she tries to get noticed by the other magazine she has to deceive her cute boss and try to control her spending. This was a very cute and funny movie worth watching.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Brad Pitt stars in this film about a hideous looking baby that is left on a door step of an African American lady who takes care of elderly people. Curiously even though she takes him in and expects him to pass away at any time he surprises her by starting to get younger. I was really expecting to dislike this movie, but found that I actually enjoyed it.

Doubt

Sister Aloysius Beauvier played by Meryl Streep is the principal of a catholic school that has recently acquired a "new age" priest (Philip Seymour Hoffman) who seems to want to change things up a bit. When she starts having suspicions that not all is what it seems with the new priest and a new male student she is determined to get rid of the priest even if she does not have any proof. This is a pretty good movie filled with a great cast.
