What Happens in Vegas

3 out of 5 Stars
I give this film a solid 3 stars. I normally dislike romantic comedies ('Made of Honor' was absolute torture), but Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher have chemistry! Plus, Diaz is just so luminescent -- it is wonderful to see her in another romantic comedy (ie. she is so, so much more fun to watch than these 'newer' actresses like Michelle Monahan). Okay, so maybe the plot is predictable. And silly. But I fully enjoyed myself for the entire running time *and* I laughed out loud on more than occasion. Which for me is rare. Diaz does drunk scenes like no other (except possibly Angelina Jolie in 'Playing By Heart'). And the supporting cast is also really funny.

The Invisible Circus

3.5 out of 5 Stars
A book adaptation that works surprisingly well as a film. I was surprised at just how good of an adaptation from Jennifer Egan's book it was. Well crafted and well acted. A very solid and enjoyable movie.

The Sweetest Thing

4 out of 5 Stars
Hilarious. Any film that includes glory holes and musical montages about penises is fine by me.

And for your viewing pleasure, I present the PENIS SONG!!!
