So I totally blanked and forgot that I hadn't blogged. Sorry blogosphere.
1) Our Idiot Brother
So I am only child, which probably limited my understanding of this movie. Regardless I still thought it was pretty funny, and I definitely enjoyed it. Paul Rudd was great; he played this hippie bonehead who just was way too trusting and didn't understand what should and shouldn't be repeated. The family is uber dysfunctional, and I think everyone can relate to the characters. There's a lesbian sister, a workaholic single sister, and a too liberal for her own good sister who has a total d-bag for a husband. It was funny in an unconventional way and really made you think about those reject family members we all have. We all would be lucky to have a character like Paul Rudd in our family, simply because it would be entertaining as hell. If your family has a sense of humor and doesn't mind adult humor, I would definitely recommend this for the after thanksgiving movie.
2) The Help
Okay, so everyone should know by now that this movie is awesome. Its number 1 on the charts for the third week in a row and I absolutely loved it! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND READING THE BOOK! Whether its before or after you see the movie is unimportant, just so long as you read it. I loved Emma Stone (girl crush!) and I thought she did a wonderful job! The entire cast was amazing, and I think the casting directors did a really good job! The book adaptation was a little off, and I was disappointed my favorite quotes didn't make it in, but I guess I will allow it! It made me feel good, made me laugh, and made me cry. If you are living under a rock and still haven't seen this, then dust yourself off and get to the movie theatre! Do it. See it.

DVD Releases
Okay, while I was at home, I had some time to watch movies with my mom, which means movies I missed in theaters. Quick run-down of some of these.
1) You Again
Actually a pretty cute movie. A cute premise that I don't think has been done before, and of course any movie with Betty White is destined to be a cute one! Definitely implausible, but cute non the less. I really liked Kristin Bell in this, she was cute and quirky, which isn't really a surprise for her. Regardless I liked it, definitely a good one for mom/daughter day.
2) The Town
This was really good. I figured it would be because of Jeremy Renner's nomination, but I was pleasantly affirmed in how good it was! There were several instances where I said, wait what?? And I don't really like Ben Affleck that much, so he brought his A game for sure. I was a bit distracted by Blake Lively, for some reason I just can't buy her as a cracked out NJ teen mom, but good for her trying to expand her acting portfolio. Definitely go redbox this one.
3) I Am Number Four
This movie got a fair amount of coverage, but I never heard of anyone actually seeing it. I figured it would be super cinematic cheesy and not very good, but I actually liked it! It was an interesting premise, and the nerd kid factor made me happy. Some of the super natural creatures were a bit much, but it was a different plot line and something I found interesting and engaging. I would rent it if you don't have anything to do, or want a simple action movie. Not to shabby.
