A post about a million and one movies...

Sorry that each of these movies does not get its own post. These are the movies I have seen thanks to Netflix this summer.

1. The Open Road. Starring: Justin Timberlake, Jeff Bridges, Mary Steenburgen, and Kate Mura. Basically, this is like a made for TV movie. Take that as low budget or whatever you take from that statement. Justin Timberlake's character goes on a life changing journey as he tries to find his father and bring him to his mother's bedside(she is hospital and is going to have heart surgery...her wish is to have the dad there before she has the surgery). JT's character takes his friend along and there may or may not be romantic chemistry there. This is a good movie. If it were in the Redbox, I would say see it...otherwise....ya know. It gets a surgeon award.

2. Run, Fat Boy, Run! This is a British Movie. It was fun to see different sites from around London. The basic storyline is that a man walks away from his pregnant fiance while she is at the altar. He tries to make things okay by running in the London Marathon. Basically, he thinks that if he starts to get in shape and have a goal, he can win her back. It is a very humorous movie with the cinematography taste of Juno, Napoleon Dynamite, and Whip It.(That independent darker tinge?). I would say it is a good movie to see on a weekend. It gets three gold laces.(out of five)

3. Griffin & Phoenix Staring: Dermot Mulroney and Amanda Peet.
Hello....Dermot Mulroney? He is fun to watch. I loved him since My Best Friend's Wedding. And Amanda Peet is just cute. Anyway, this story is about how knowing you are dying can make you live. Enough said? I would say hold off if you don't like sex scenes...it is hard for me to watch those with my mother! It is a good story though. I give it seven Kleenex. It is a tear jerker.

4. According to Greta with Hilary Duff.
Hillary Duff plays an angst filled teen who is sent to live with her grandparents for the summer. It was kinda an annoying movie to me. I had it on in the background while I played a game on the iPhone. It was typical of all the teen angst filled movies. It was good but I wouldn't pay lots of money to see it. I don't know why I like Hilary Duff but I do. Take that. It gets a container of eyeliner for it's award, from the angst and all.
