WOW, that is how I describe this documentary. I went into this movie with no real expectations. I am not a vegan or even a vegetarian but this movie really made me think. It is a real shame to see how the animals are treated on large farms that product the majority of the meat we (as Americans) consume. Not to mention the fact that many of them are likely to get diseases (that are passed on to us in their meat) just do to their surroundings. It made me think more about buying organic and from local farmers.
If you don't want to see the sad, curl truth about how the animals are treated and killed this movie is not for you. If you want some inside truth as to where your food comes from watch this movie. I am not going to lie and tell you that now I buy all organic and only at farmers markets now but it will make me make an effort to do it more often.
This documentary was a real eye opener and very informative. I would recommend this one for sure.

The Box (2009)
With Cameron Diaz, James Marsden, Frank Langella
Basically this movie is about a husband and wife that are presented with a BOX. This box contains a button that if pushed, will kill someone they do not know and in return they will get 1 million dollars. If they choose to not push the button then nothing happens and the box is returned. There are a few catches to actually pushing button but I don't want to ruin the movie if you choose to see it.
It pains me to say this, because I am huge Cameron Diaz fan, but this movie was not worth watching. It was weird and the way they tried to tie everything together was confusing. Cameron Diaz's character had a southern accent but it was one of the worst accents ever. It would come and go as she spoke and to make it worst there was no need for the accent. No one else in the film had one. It only added to my dislike of the movie.
They story line could have made for a god movie but this was not it. This was one we rented and I am glad we did not pay theater ticket prices to see it. In my opinion, it was Cameron Diaz's worst movie. I would not recommend that you watch this movie unless you are all out of other movies to watch and just wanted to kill some time.

Shutter Island
This was one of my favorite Leonardo DiCaprio movies. I am going to have a hard time reviewing this movie in fear that I will give too much away and ruin it for those who have not viewed this Scorsese thriller.
It was definitely not what I expected and for the better. I was prepared to be really freaked out but that was not the case at all. It was very suspenseful and the ending was a compete shocker. The trailer makes it look scarier then it really was.
You have to see this movie you have not already. Not only because it was a great movie but you will want to talk about the ending with others.

She's Out of My League
My husband and I went to see She's Out of My League today. To be honest the main the reason we HAD to see this movie on opening weekend was because I was an extra in the movie. So of course I wanted to see if I was going to have my face on the big screen. To my surprise this movie is now ranked pretty high my list of favorite romantic comedies. The plot was pretty typical to all romantic comedies so no surprises there but the comedy was definitely there. Everyone in the theatre was laughing throughout the movie. Which was a relief because I feared that the all the funny parts were already seen in the trailer for the movie (I hate when that happens).
Alice Eve was the perfect 10 girl (you can see more of her in Maxim Magazine next month) and she really fit the role. She was pretty, funny and entertaining to watch. I am sure my husband (and many other men) enjoyed the bedroom scene! I hope to see more of her in future movies.
To sum up I would definitely recommend this movie and it is one I would watch again. Not to mention the views of Pittsburgh were amazing.
For those of you are interested I was seen the movie, but it was the back of me. So, no face time for me. Maybe next time!
