L.A. Story

"With the help of a talking freeway billboard, a "wacky weatherman" tries to win the heart of an English newspaper reporter, who is struggling to make sense of the strange world of early-90s Los Angeles." www.imdb.com

This is always an enjoyable movie. There isn't a lot to it but it is always a great experience. A simple story of finding love in this crazy world we live in. The humor is so off the wall that it is almost believable. The acting is excellent. Steve Martin is his usual quirky self but in a more relatable way.

It's hard to describe this story. It really emphasizes this human condtion of feeling alone and lost in this world but wanting to find someone to spend our lives with but never knowing how to do it without totally emarrassing ourselves in front of another person.

This movie makes me believe in the spontaneous nature of finding love.

The Man with Two Brains

"Steve Martin comedy about brain transplantation." www.imdb.com

If you like Steve Martin or Kathleen Turner than this is a must see movie for you. The plot is hilarious and the comedy is classic Steve Martin. Even the physical comedy can't be beat.

Steve Martin is a brain surgeon who gets seduced by Kathleen Turner's character once she finds out he's a doctor. She seductively teases and taunts her way into a marriage with him. But he eventually finds out she wanted more than his love and affection. He then falls in love with another. But this relationship has definite complications. He soon discovers a solution though that can be considered quite unconventional. 

Steve Martin and Kathleen Turner deliver amazing performances from beginning to end. This is not a movie to pass up.

Snow White and the Huntsman

"In a twist to the fairy tale, the Huntsman ordered to take Snow White into the woods to be killed winds up becoming her protector and mentor in a quest to vanquish the Evil Queen."  www.imdb.com

This is actually a pretty good movie. Decent storyline. It would be better if it wasn't a Snow White story though. It just has too much to be Snow White. Granted we are use to simple fairytale stories. We like the characters introduced, told what the problem is, and then get right to the happily ever after. This film draws it out a bit and gives more emphasis to the conflict then the happily ever after. So it's good and bad. This could be the start of a new form of fairytale story telling.

Charlize Theron is amazing as always and gives an outstanding performance. The other actors really could have been anyone and done just as good of a job.

They did steal a scene from the anime movie Princess Mononoke. It was a good scene to take. But sucks they stole a scene.
