I will see it one million times

"Oooh, look, a trailer for Brave!"
"I don't know why I'm not more excited for that. It looks great. But like, what is it about?"
"It's about how she's going to rescue herself."
"But what's the plot?"
"THE PLOT IS THAT THERE'S THIS GIRL AND SHE'S AWESOME. THE GREATEST PLOT EVER."

It's no Season of the Witch

"So, was the world just really crying out for a Ghost Rider sequel?"

"I only know the first one happened because I read a lot of bad movie blogs."

The Social Network

I hated the ad campaign for this movie so much -- the one with the creepy singing children's choir, ugh, ugh, ugh -- that it's taken me this long to getting around to watching it, despite Jesse Eisenberg being my favorite human in Hollywood. But it's actually not particularly dark or creepy or about How Our Generation Will Change The World; it's just kind of about a bunch of rich douches getting richer and douchier. I know Mark is supposed to be the protagonist and the villain of the piece -- Andrew Garfield, you put those big tragic eyes away, sir -- but frankly I thought Mark was pretty logical and Eduardo should have paid more attention to what Mark was telling him all the way through.

The acting*, the soundtrack, and the cinematography were all As Good As Advertised, though. Seriously very enjoyable.

*Except for how Justin Timberlake was always Justin Timberlake, and although he definitely gave it a really good try there were lots of scenes that just featured Justin Timberlake As Himself. Poor kid. Being in an Oscar-nominated movie might be as close as he gets to the big prize.

The Vow

"Who is this giant mumbly dude in The Vow with the big square head? WHOA, that's Channing Tatum?"

"I never know what he looks like. It's like my Jason Sudekis-Ed Helms problem. I'm pretty sure they're the same person, but one of them is in the Hangover."

"Like my Ryan Gosling-James Vanderbeek problem. In fairness, both of their names relate to ducks. How can you not know Channing Tatum; you own The Eagle."

"Right, but... didn't he used to be a dancer? Or a stripper?"

"I think that's a movie he was in."

"No, but I think also in real life he was a dancer? And then he danced in a movie? Or maybe dancer was a euphemism for something. He was a dancer. By which I mean a big ol' stripper. I'm not clear on this."

"Well, he wasn't hired for his enunciation skills."

"No, for the stripping, I think. ...are you writing this down?"

Zombieland

I don't like zombies and I don't like zombie movies or books, but for some reason Jesse Eisenberg's face and also Emma Stone's face I really, really enjoy Zombieland when it's on. I wish FX would stop censoring the swear words but they leave in all the gore and horrible killings and also Woody Harrelson being hilarious and grumpy. The entire cast -- all five people -- are so talented. Sometimes I consider how many awards they have been nominated for or won between them and I'm a little floored.

Also, there's the clip where Abigail Breslin tries to explain Hannah Montana to Woody Harrelson, and I'd watch it just for that part, even if the rest of it wasn't really funny and weirdly sweet.

50/50

Awesome acting, super predictable plot. JGL couldn't be more of a method-actor's method actor, he is excellent at everything. Seth Rogen was surprisingly hilarious and Anna Kendrick was just the right combination of adorable and supremely awkward. I wish the movie wasn't quite so blatant in its wish fulfillment ending and I wish we'd been given any sort of reason why the main character had his initial girlfriend beyond "she's hot" because she's set up as obviously flaky and awful from the very first moment she appears.

Moneyball

is great. Brad Pitt plays Brad Pitt in a movie about baseball! Jonah Hill is the movie's MVP except maybe for Chris Pratt, who I love in everything anyway.
