So, even though I've been busy I've managed to squeeze in a few movies here and there. These are the ones I've seen lately and think you'd be interested in:
If you're in the mood for something funny, violent, slightly obscene, yet endearing, check out Kick Ass. I went into this movie knowing nothing more than it was rumored to be funny and came out with so much more. It's filmed like a graphic novel come to life but not as dark as others of its kind like Sin City or Watchmen. My favorite character is his would be 'sidekick' Hit Girl. Some of the things that come tumbling out of her mouth make you gasp then double over with laughter. Definitely worth the matinee price at minimum.
In the mood for something a little more inspirational?? I had no idea what this movie was about but caught a preview on IMDB and couldn't resist checking it out. Amazing, Sandlot'esque film but with even more heart. Based on a true story of young hispanic boys growing up in Monterrey, Mexico who are in love with baseball. They form their own little league team with sticks as bats and twine as the ball. Then, they meet the man who would become their coach and against all odds but with the support of their community, and ultimately the underdog in all of us, their capture the hearts of everyone and accomplish the impossible. Films based on true stories are always fun to watch, because you know someone lived that plot line and survived. Just makes one that much more thankful for all we have and all we can become against all odds.
