Kristen Wiig

DVDs out Tuesday

The Accidental Husband - I'm pretty excited about this movie coming out. I don't know why it was never released in theaters (meaning it is probably pretty terrible) but I'm going to rent it and most likely love it. That's just how I roll when Jeffrey Dean Morgan is involved.

The Ugly Truth - This movie was pretty predictable, but wasn't as terrible as everyone made it out to be. I mean, it had its moments. The crude humor was legitimate because of Gerard Butler's character, too, so I don't think everyone should freak out about that. The only thing I do feel was a mistake was Katherine Heigl's character. She really needs to get away from the "bitchy, uptight chick who becomes free-spirited and lovable in the end" kind of characters (27 Dresses/Knocked Up). I'd say it was smart of her to stick with Grey's Anatomy if it means avoiding being type-cast for the girl everyone loves to hate.

Disney's Up - This movie made me laugh and cry the entire time. I've never cried more at a child's movie than with this one, so watch yourself. Although, it is definitely worth watching because the little Asian boy and the talking dogs. Priceless!

Double the "i", Double the Fun-ny

Underrated movie of the post:

Whip It! Seeing as most of the movies she has been in she was only on screen for a few minutes, I'm forced to pick this one. I haven't seen Extract yet and I'm sure she's amazing in that, but I can only go with what I know. Wiig shows a different side of her acting chops in this movie. Her humor was much more subtle with a snide comment every now and then. The main focus was how good of an actor she is outside the funny role. She slowed things down a bit with a serious, motherly side as she coached Ellen Page through life. All in all, I didn't think it was possible to love her even more, but now I can honestly respect her as a legitimate actress.

Movies to see:

The Accidental Husband, The Ugly Truth, Up, and Whip It!
