I can’t believe winter break is already ending, it all went by so fast. One thing that I did do over break was see a few movies in the theaters. First, I saw "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" starring Brad Pitt. The movie was about a man who was born old and instead of getting older as he grew, he grew younger until he was a baby and died. While of course the movie was not possible, it was very interesting and a story that is very unique. Out of 5 stars, I would give this one a 4.5.
Then, the next day, I saw "Yes Man" with Jim Carrey. This was a classic
Jim Carrey film much like "Liar, Liar," so if you are a Jim Carey fan, I would definitely recommend seeing it. The plot of the movie is basically that a man who turns down every offer in his life goes to a cult-like seminar where an enthusiast of Yes Men makes a covenant with him so that he would have to say yes to every opportunity that presents itself, or else he would be punished in some way. The end of the movie was a little disappointing, but I won't give it away.
Overall this one receives 3 stars for some good laughs.Outside of the theater, I saw a number of movies on DVD (I was very bored in northern Minnesota) including "Wanted," "Run Fatboy, Run," "Meet Dave," Smart People," "Cashback," and a few others that I can't really think of at the moment. Out of all of those my favorite was "Wanted" because it had some really cool action scenes a plot twist that you wouldn't see coming. The last line of the movie also was very inspirational and it went something like what "have you done lately." This movie gets a 3 out 5 as well because there were some things that were a little unreal.
