Taxi Driver

I've been interested in seeing this movie for a bit and so I decided to watch it last night. Overall, the movie was really good. Some parts were pretty creepy and it was made to be very realistic so it added to the disturbing factor. But even though Travis, the main character, is completely insane, I still found him to be very likeable and I was very sympathetic for him. Anyway, Robert De Niro and Jody Foster both have fantastic performances in this film (which is no real surprise). The only thing that I didn't really like was that the plot was kind of unclear. It seemed like one of those movies where there's no real apparent climax, it's just a chain of random events that happen to one character. But I still enjoyed it and I would recommend it to anyone with an interest in movies that show a dark side of human society.

Ghost Town

Last night I went out to see this movie in theaters. After seeing the trailer, I didn't have very high expectations. However, I actaully ended up enjoying the movie quite a bit. There were many funny parts, and the acting was really good. It was definitely better than I expected it to be. Althought almost every part of the movie was very predictable, (as most movies of today are) it didn't make the movie any less enjoyable. There were also some very cheesey parts, but overall it was a very sweet and funny movie. If you're looking for a entertaining movie to see in theaters, I'd recommend seeing this.

Little Miss Sunshine

I just saw this movie today for my third time. When I first saw this movie, I was so surprised by how much I loved it. Not only was it hilarious, the movie also had interesting characters, the actors were fantastic, and the plot was very entertaining. After seeing this film once, I almost immediately added it to my long list of favorite movies. If you have not seen this yet, you should watch it as soon as you can. 

You will (probably) only like this movie if:
you enjoy comedies, and you don't mind movies with some strong language
