Tuesday Movie Turmoil 11.22.11

Recently viewed:

Ssurprisingly, I actually haven’t watched anything in the past week.  However, I just got a movie in from Netflix that I am looking forward to watching this week.  

The Tree of Life

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0478304/

Here is the summary according to Netflix:  “Brad Pitt and Sean Penn star in Terrence Malick's 1950s adventure about a confused man named Jack, who sets off on a journey to understand the true nature of the world. Growing up in the Midwest with two brothers, Jack has always been torn between his mother's guidance to approach everything he encounters with an open heart and his father's advice to look after his own interests.

Now, Jack must find a way to regain purpose and perspective.”

I haven’t watched it yet, but I can’t wait to, I stinkin’ love Brad Pitt. I always thought he was so cliche, and that he was the stereotypical guy that everyone thought was hot, but he is such an amazing actor. This movie isn’t very well known, so I hope it’s not too out there.  I will have to let you know how it is!

On the big screen:

Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part I: *sigh* I am a fan of Twilight, the books and the movies - but why, why, why are there so many awkward and bad acting moments?  I did enjoy the movie, and I will definitely buy it when it comes out.  Of course, I will also watch Breaking Dawn Part II when it comes out, and I still consider myself a die-hard fan, but there were still a few moments that were rough for me.  Oh and I am pretty sure that I did tear up at least once…
The Muppets: Um, I may not make it to this one but I will admit that I did watch The Muppet Babies when I was little and I loooooved that show. ( just thought I would throw that out there)
In Time: I’m not even sure if this movie will come out around where I live.  Even if it does, I don’t know if I will make it to this one either.  I do love Justin Timberlake as an actor and especially when he is on Saturday Night Live.  However, I’m just not a huge Amanda Seyfried fan.

A movie I am excited about:

I am excited about the movie Super 8 coming out on DVD; I really loved
this movie when I saw it. I really like the director JJ Abrams (mainly because he created Lost, one of
my favorite TV shows), and Steven Spielberg (the producer). If you enjoyed movies like E.T. or Close Encounters of the Third Kind, you will surely enjoy this movie!
