Ok so this weekend (Friday night to be exact) I had to the pleasure of watching 2 GREAT films. One a romantic comedy "It's Complicated" & a tear jerker "The Road".
It's Complicated starring Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin was one of the cutest and funniest movies I had the pleasure of viewing (and now critiquing). Just a small overview of the movie: It was about a couple who has divorced after 19 years of marriage and separated for 10 years decide to sort of re-kindle their once freaky deaky flames. Jake and Jane Adler(characters) couldn't stand to be in the same room with each other for the 10 years prior, but one day at their weekend trip to New York for their youngest child's graduation they got drunk (I mean really toasted) at their hotel restaurant and had sex. Now talk about OMG complicated yes VERY complicated. I mean how would they explain this too the kids and further more Jane's ex-husband/baby daddy was now married to the mistress he cheated on Jane with that caused their still divorce WOOOOAAAAHHHH!!! Any-who time went on Jane was all confused (she enjoyed it non-the-less) HOWEVER she didn't feel comfortable with it. Of course as we women do she consulted her friends and her therapist and they said "there's no harm in having a little fun" go ahead Jane do you honey (as we young people like to say).
Needless to say when all was said and done people got hurt, children got hurt, but of course like all romantic comedies it gave a pretty decent ending. I think you'll enjoy it.
Here's a you tube clip. Check it out

The Road starring Viggo Mortensen was (in my own opinion) an Oscar nominated movie. This had to have been one of the greatest movies I've seen to date. I truly enjoyed the way it played out and the story line of just trying to survive in this cold dark world after a major catastrophe years prior.
This movie shows us a little of how we in this world may end up once judgment day comes and what we will have to do to survive IF we want to. Viggo did an outstanding job as lead actor in this movie and I don't want to spoil it so I truly think everyone should go rent this movie, download it or head to your nearest dollar theater to see if it's still showing. Oh and don't forget your box of kleenex cause your gona need it.
