Movies out Today
The Beaver - A man has a mental break down and begins speaking through a hand puppet in the shape of a beaver. (I have no plans on seeing this movie, I just wanted to remind everyone that it exists so you can shake your head disbelievingly like I am right now.)
Jumping the Broom - A young couple tries to get married, but has to deal with how different their families are. (This movie is a little contrived, but there are some decent actors in it. I'm just happy to see a movie full of Black people that doesn't have Tyler Perry's name splashed all over it.)
Something Borrowed - A girl and a guy realize they're in love just when he's about to marry her best friend. (This looks awesome! I love everyone in it and I love the story, especially the part where Ginnifer Goodwin (who is cool) sleeps with Kate Hudson's (who is not cool) fiance. Oh and John Krasinski. Can't forget John Krasinski!)
Thor - A Norse god is banished to live on Earth among the mortals and craziness ensues. (Here's the real plot of this movie: A hunky dude is shirtless sometimes, destroys stuff, then makes out with Natalie Portman. Oh yeah, this movie's getting an Oscar. I'm so excited!)
Subtly Brilliant Goodies
Underrated movie of the post:
A Beautiful Mind. A schizophrenic mathematician attempts to deal with his mental health and live a normal life. (This movie was surprisingly moving and very interesting. Since it's told from the main character's point of view, you don't realize that some of the major characters aren't real people until halfway through the film which completely blows your mind. A really great film.)Movies to see:
Something Borrowed, Thor, A Beautiful MindTrailers of the post
Captain America. A scrawny guy who just wants to be a soldier is pumped full of chemicals to become a not-so scrawny guy who wants to be a soldier. (Um, I was sold at shirtless Chris Evans. Although he looks SUPER creepy when he's tiny and thin. Hopefully that part of the movie doesn't last long...)
Bad Teacher. Cameron Diaz is a crappy teacher but is determined to win the yearly bonus for the highest test scores so she can buy breast implants and marry Justin Timberlake. (Yeah this movie looks utterly ridiculous, especially if you can see all the plot-holes from just the trailer, but it also looks funny and Jason Segel is my secret crush.)

well, even though you mentioned "a beautiful mind" in your post and the quotes are usually from movies you *didn't* mention, i'm still guessing that because it's the only one i've seen.
