Date Night, 2010, Romantic Comedy
Plot: A middle-aged married couple seeks to spark their flattening marriage by taking another couple’s dinner reservations. This leads to a spiral down a long road of inconveniences and danger.
Review: This movie pleasantly surprised me. What I thought was going to be just another movie with some of the funniest names in comedy (Steve Carrell Tina Fey, James Franco, Mark “Marky Mark” Walhberg), this movie was more heartwarming than simply satisfactory.
Both Fey and Carrell play their normal awkward but funny characters. The comedy was there but there were only a few jokes that were really side-splittingly funny. There were, however, very few jokes that bombed. This movie mixed a good amount of comedy with drama to make the end a really good experience. I’ll probably watch it again and I recommend it.

Easy Riders, Raging Bulls: How the Sex, Drugs and Rock ‘N’ Roll Generation Saved Hollywood 2003, Documentary viewed: 1/22/2011
Plot: Chronicles the shift in the direction of films beginning in 1967-1980
Review: This documentary is a MUST SEE for any up and coming individual seeking to make an impact in the world of film. This shows the shift that Hollywood took when it decided to start with the “New Age” of directors like Francis Coppola, Martin Scorsese, George Lucas, and Steven Spielberg.
Just to see how their surroundings shaped their decisions so much and how each of this successful directors had at least one major failure really puts everything in perspective. This film is based on the book of the same name, you should pick it up some time.
