time out for the movies

Last night I took time out of my busy life to see a 10:10 showing of Catch & Release starring Jennifer Garner and, um, what's that hot guy's name? The one Stephanie thinks is skeezy? Oh, yeah. Timothy Olyphant. And Kevin Smith, for all of you Kevin Smith fans. He's definitely not silent in this movie, but he is hilarious.

My opinion? Good chic flick. I'm sure I'll rent it when it comes out, and I may even buy the dvd used from Netflix or a video store. I'm a huge Alias fan and I loved 13 Going on 30, but other than that, I wouldn't call myself a Jennifer Garner fan (sorry, Jennifer; it's the whole Ben thing). I really did like it, but I think I was a teensy bit disappointed. Possibly because the last chic flick I saw was one that I absolutely loved and adored and went to the theater four times to see (I've never done that before; it was The Holiday). After you love a movie that much, other movies are bound to be a little bit of a let-down. Here's the true and honest rating scale: mom wouldn't like it because of the sex scenes, but it does leave the romatically-minded type of girl who doesn't like to think too much in her movies with a happy-feel-good feeling. So that's that.

There are (finally) two other movies that I'd like to catch when I'm done with my papers (which I am starting to work on as soon as I finish this post, I promise): Pan's Labyrinth and Because I Said So. Maybe if I see them I'll write about them. Until next time...
