WARNING: before you read this post, you should know that this review is about the new Matthew McConaughey movie about his law practice. It is NOT about "Conspirator" the new movie about the political and social circumstances surrounding President Lincoln's death. My poor precious mom was a wee bit confused, and I just wanted to nip that in the bud from the get go.
This movie was great! Matthew McConaughey did a great job doing something besides being hott. The plot was an interesting story, creative, and took you through the range of emotions. (i'm noticing that that is my main criterion in a movie, emotions. whatever, i am a girl)
Surprise surprise, Ryan Phillippe was also in this one-where did he come from? Regardless, he did a great job and was pretty attractive as well!
Go see this one. It is an interesting role if you are a fan of MM, and it was a good story that was well told. Don't go see this if you want to learn more about Abraham Lincoln.

No, I'm not dead.
Have no fear blogosphere, i am not dead.
It has been an insane month and a half, and I'm back in the saddle. The good news is that I managed to watch a few flicks before my life spiraled out of control and, GASP, my DVD player broke.
First up: Cedar Rapids, with the triple threat bundle of joy that is Will Ferrel, Ed Helms, and John C. Reilly. The movie was really clever, and had many funny parts that let me chuckle. The general viewing audience was a bit older than me, and they definitely laughed harder than I did. I think this is because I don't have a real job yet (if you are reading...hire me!) so I haven't been to conferences and all that jazz. However, if I had, it would probably have been even more hilarious. Tim Lippe (Ed Helms) was a baller, and I loved the almost expected plot twist that still came out of nowhere! Its in dvd production now, but if you are seeking a glimpse into the working adult world, snatch this when it comes out on dvd!!
Next: Adjustment Bureau.
Gag me. I expected this to probably not be very good because it wasn't enough of a blockbuster to be released at a prime time (christmas, thanksgiving, may, or summer) and matt damon usually doesn't have two stellar movies in a row. Emily Blunt was good, but it was so predictable and the ending was less than exciting and didn't really make sense. Don't waste your dollar at the redbox. If you see a man in a trench coat and a hat following you around with what looks like a skinny scientific lab notebook from 7th grade science fair, then the people own your life. That was what I got from the movie. It did had some cool cinematography shots and techniques, but it wasn't even worth nerding out for.
