The expert

That's right, I work at a video store. Therefore I am now certified to critique films. So here is what I've seen lately:

The Constant Gardener- really great, though pretty slow in the beginning. I'm always for movies with a message.

Little Miss Sunshine- seriously worth owning when it comes out this future Tuesday to DVD. Incredibility funny and touching.

Casino Royale- I love James Bond films. Every year during the Thanksgiving weekend I watch the marathon of Bond movies and started when I was like 8. This movie is pretty good, dare I say even up there as one of my top 10 Bond films. The opening scene is awesome. The only problems I have is one, he drove a Ford and two, there wasn't any of those famous Bond gadgets. I mean sure some of the gadgets have pretty hokey and unbelievable, but that's what makes Bond films fun- that sometime cheesy factor. Daniel Craig is amazingly hot and quite worthy of having a women exclaim, "Oh, James!" I also had a little problem with the way this Bond treated the Bond chick.

Match Point- It was good, but I didn't care about any of the characters. The plot was sort of interesting, but when you don't care about them it doesn't matter. I don't know if it was a lack of chemistry between the actors or what but something just didn't do it for me.

Pride and Prejudice- As a fan of Jane Austin and the other P and P movie with Colin Firth I have to say that I liked this version. It was pretty. And whoever played Mr. Darcey was great (I don't feel like looking it up at this moment).

Borat- It was funny but honestly when it comes to gross-out, reality-like, crazy movies, I thought the Jackass movie that came this year was funnier and is better at offending people.
