Weekend Movie Madness

North Country <--The movie takes place in Hibbing Minnesota which is about 4 hours or so north of where I grew up and is based on a true story. I was touched by this movie and recommend it to everyone especially anyone living in Minnesota.

They finally got the accent down not like that atrocity Fargo. They got the livestyle, the mannerism and feel of minnesota people in this movie. It was a pleasure to see someone finally get it right.

Fun With Dick & Jane <-- I love Jim Carrey but I have to say this wasn't his best movie. I mean...well, it just wasn't all that great. It was ok and I did laugh a few times but I got over it.

Memoirs Of A Geisha <-- This movie is brilliantly done. It's a beautiful work of cinnematography. I'm blown away. The winter dance scene was my favorite. Wow.

Shop Girl <-- This movie was silent but deadly with it's message and I adored it. I think Steve Martin did a wonderful job writting and acting in this film. I know a few people that should watch this movie to see what their actions do to other people. Maybe they'd learn something...

Yours, Mine and Ours <-- Eh. It was ok but nothing worth renting. I'm surprised I watched all of it.
