April 19, 2008: Ten Word Reviews

I’m taking a page out of Amanda’s book and doing some ten word reviews. I’ve been watching a lot of movies lately.

Movies

1. Donnie Darko - Who doesn’t love Jake Gyllenhaal? Ending evokes very strong emotions.
2. Enemy of the State - Exciting government conspiracy flick. Will Smith and Gene Hackman rock.
3. Ed Wood - Johnny Depp cross-dresses… Not sure what to say. Entertaining, nonetheless.
4. The Good Son - Macaulay Culkin is a sociopath. Elijah Wood is better actor.
5. Sweeney Todd - Gory and artistic horror musical. The cast is so awesome.
6. Office Space - Ron Livingston: disgruntled office worker. Milton is the best character.
7. Dan in Real Life - Sweet and a little funny. It was an okay movie.

Books

1. The Book Thief - Different side of Nazi Germany. Heartwarming and heartbreaking. Must read.
2. I Am The Messenger - Ed Kennedy is normal. Then he isn’t. Very inspiring book.
