This Week's Movies in Review
Farce of the Penguins - Not in theaters for a reason. I should have known when NetFlix only gave it one star, but I got it anyways...I like a good slapstick. This was not one of those. This is the second week in a row, that we turned a movie off. It was terrible. I think Bob Saget is working extra hard to be as Anti-Full House as possible....yet he still sucks.
Stranger Than Fiction - This was a nice movie. As an author I was very intersted in her narration, but her insanity bothered me a bit. It was not what I would call a great movie, or go out of my way to recommend, but I enjoyed it. Sometimes I like quarky movies, and this was one of them. Will Farrell did a good job...he's so much better when he is not trying so hard to be over the top funny (Don't get me wrong..Frank the Tank Rocked) but he doesn't always need to try so hard. It was nice in this film to see him pull back on the reins and act like a normal person.
JJJ - Liked It
Facing the Giants - This was a nice movie. A little too much Bible thumping for my taste. I knew this movie was catagotized as Spiritual & Inspirational, and I expected it to be guided by Faith...but at times it was alittle much. A good movie about believing in something hard enough to see it through, but they could have gotten that across without quite so many 'accepting Christ,' and 'serve God,' lines. Had they done that this movie may have been celebrated a bit more in the main stream. Non the less, it was a nice story...a lot of tears.

J - There’s Two hours of my life I won’t get back (more like twenty minutes)
