Something Borrowed (movie-2011)

Let me start by saying I love Kate Hudson so my views might be a little bit bias. With that disclaimer out of the way, I loved it. Just to clarify my sister-in-law (who shares a lot of the same opinions as myself on movies) just “liked it” and my husband thought it was a little long.

I think it was a great story about the friendship and being with the one you are meant to be with. Darcie (Hudson) and Rachel (Goodwin-who I also like) are childhood best friends. When quit Rachel accidentally sets up the love of her life with her best friend while in law school. Of course Darcie is the pretty one that gets everything and Rachel is the sweet girl that (almost) always puts her friends first.
I did not read this book so I can’t tell you if “the movie ruined the book” or if “the movie did the book justice” but I can tell you I liked this movie. If you go to the movies to see it you might want to make it a girls night, instead of date night.

You can visit the movie website at http://somethingborrowedmovie.warnerbros.com/ for the trailer.

PS- Jim from the office (John Krasinski) is in the movie too. You guessed it, I like him too.

The Killer Inside me (2010)

This movie had well known actors such as Casey Affleck, Kate Hudson, and Jessica Alba. Casey Affleck’s character, Lou Ford is a small town deputy sheriff who finds himself involved in a rape and murder investigation of Jessica Alba’s charter, prostitute Joyce Lakeland. Views will be surprised at the twist the plot takes, not only at the end but when throughout the entire thing. You will be shocked to see who the killer is and how easy killing comes to them.

This is one of those movies that I don’t to tell too much about because I am fearful that it will ruin the suspense of the plot.

This movie came as a complete surprise to me. I had not heard anything about it until we went to rent a movie one night. It was one of those movies we just picked up because there was nothing to else to watch and I really like Kate Hudson and Jessica Alba. It was surprisingly good and I would strongly recommend it anyone who likes suspense/drama films.
