Zac Efron can act, people! Okay, so he's not going to win an Oscar for his performance in Me and Orson Welles, but he does take a step away from the tween territory of High School Musical and 17 Again to prove that he can hold his own among more experienced performers.
Efron stars as the "Me" in Me and Orson Welles, an over confident aspiring young actor named Richard whose only prior work includes a couple of high school productions — until he lucks into a bit part in Welles's stage production of Julius Caesar.

It's not that I was expecting a film adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's The Road to be happy sunshine — I just wasn't expecting it to seem so possible.
The apocalyptic tale takes place in a wasteland in the future after most humans are gone. It's desolate, the sky is a brownish-gray, and the land seems to be covered with ash.

I'm pretty sure we're all familiar with the Sex and The City TV series so I'll skip the summary of what the movie version is about. In other words I don't want to accidentally spill a spoiler for those who haven't seen it so I'll just break my review down to the Pros and Cons of the 148 minutes movie. How very Miranda of me.

We just watched the movie Osama by Siddiq Barmak and I have to review it immediately. You know, I've supported RAWA (the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan) financially, since long before 9/11. I've read lots about the Taliban and think I'm fairly knowledgeable about Afghanistan under that regime.

I did a search and didn't see any other reviews for The Squid and the Whale, so I'll throw my 2cents in.
This is the story of a family going through a separation and divorce, and all the troubles "Joint custody" cause. I am a lucky girl and my parents have been together for 35 years, but I recognized many of the situations from my friends lives.

Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay reunites everyone's favorite stoners on a cross country ride that leaves you laughing at the characters, the people next to you and even yourself.
The movie begins by doing the one thing that sequels rarely do: continue the story where the original left off. It literally begins with Harold in the shower getting ready to see his true love in Amsterdam and Kumar taking a massive dump while he's doing it.

Baby Mama" starring SNL alums Tina Fey and Amy Poehler is like a decent first date where you're glad you didn't get too dressed up or spend too much money.
The story begins with Kate (Fey) a very upwardly mobile V.P. of Round Earth, a Whole Foods knockoff.

An eerie, disturbing, and uncomfortable journey into the life of the man who is responsible for the assassination of late Beatles great John Lennon. Jared Leto (Requiem for A Dream, American Psycho, Fight Club) gained over 60 pounds to play the role of Mark David Chapman, in the days leading up to the unforgettable and infamous night of December 8, 1980. Leto completely transforms into the character, causing us to be disgusted of him, as well as, his antics, decisions, and logic behind why he is destined to kill John Lennon.
