January Movies...

I saw five movies this month.

'Easy A' - After a little white lie about losing her (Emma Watson) virginity gets out, a clean cut high school girl sees her life paralleling Hester Prynne's in "The Scarlet Letter," which she is currently studying in school - until she decides to use the rumor mill to advance her social and financial standing.

Review in a few words - Solid date movie.

'Going the Distance' - A romantic comedy centered on a guy (Justin Long) and a gal (Drew Barrymore) who try to keep their love alive as they shuttle back and forth between New York and San Francisco to see one another.

Review in a word - Meh...

'Despicable Me' - When a criminal mastermind uses a trio of orphan girls as pawns for a grand scheme, he finds himself profoundly changed by the growing love between them.

Review in a word - Cute...

'True Grit' - A tough U.S. Marshal helps a stubborn young woman track down her father's murderer.

Review in two words - Good stuff...

'The King's Speech' - The story of King George VI of Britain, his impromptu ascension to the throne and the speech therapist who helped the unsure monarch become worthy of it.

Review in a word - Excellent...
