Michael Pena

DVD out Today

Country Strong - A country music star deals with alcoholism, losing her fame to a younger star, and, the hardest of all, trying not to jump Garrett Hedlund. (It's a feat in itself.)

Sweet Goodies

Underrated movie of the post:

The Lucky Ones. Three soldiers on leave are forced to drive across country with each other and deal with the mixed responses from the citizens they encounter. (This was a remarkably moving film and it really gives its audience a peek into some of the issues returning soldiers experience. But it's not all dreary sadness, there are some funny parts too.)

Movies to see:

Country Strong, The Lucky Ones

Trailers of the post: Chick Flicks

An Invisible Sign. A socially stunted woman is forced out on her own and takes a job as an elementary school teacher, helping them through problems and facing her own. (As much as I'm not a fan of Jessica Alba, I have to admit that this looks pretty good...)



Love Wedding Marriage. A marriage counsellor has to save her parents' failing marriage while trying to navigate her new one. (I've got a huge crush on Mandy Moore and this movie looks cute and funny. The three essentials for a cheesy rom-com.)
