Dating Michael, I have had the joy of realizing my true Allio potential in that I can watch a movie and be ready for round two before the credits have finished. These past couple of weeks, I have seen some amazing films and just when I thought I saw the best one of the year, the next usurps it! Here are my faves:
Precious- saw this on Saturday. The story is one that everyone should see and shows both the successes and failures of government interaction with the impoverished of this country. I give major props to my mother for counseling pregnant teenagers after seeing this movie and also, will never look at Monique the same way.
Up in the Air- I may be slightly biased as I love George Clooney but this movie really made me reflect on the choices I have made in my life in terms of love, career, family, etc. George definitely should not have won best actor as he really was just playing his usual sexy self, but the ensemble cast does a wonderful job of interacting and you think that all of them have known each other for years.
Shutter Island- Scared the crud out of me. Whoever says they weren't on the edge of their seats are lying! Leonardo and Martin do another stunning film and I can't wait to see the next. Don't let anyone tell you anything about this film in case they manage to spoil it!
