Cold Souls

This movie has a very strange plot. It's about an actor who hires a company to extract his soul from his body because he believes it will help his acting skills. He is having trouble disconnecting his real life from the character that he is playing in a theatre performance.

I'm dead serious. The company extracts his soul and stores it for him so that he can have it put back in when he feels he needs it. After a while, he realizes that he needs his soul, (duh) but problems arise when he finds out it is missing and they may not be able to find it.

Little does he know that a Russian actress took his soul to use as her own in order to help better her acting skills.

So essentially the movie is about a man searching for his soul.

Literally.

Shutter Island

I'm not quite sure what to say about this movie other than it was not what I expected. I was expecting a scary movie but it didn't turn out that way. I think I liked it? There is a great twist which is always a good thing.

Yes, yes I think I liked it.

There ya go. Just go see it. (Prepare yourself for some corny dream sequences.)

Criminal Minds

Personal Effects

This show is about a guy (Ashton Kutcher) who's twin sister was murdered and how he is able to deal with the loss, the trial, and others involved. In a support group he meats a woman (Michelle Pfeiffer) who's husband was also murdered. They begin to spend time together and lean on each other for support.

I really liked this movie, especially because there were a few shocking moments. It may seem slow to some but I think it's slow on purpose to show that the characters are mourning their loved ones. The colors are muted with grayish, blueish tints which again set the mood perfectly.

So I recommend you see it, not necessarily to be entertained, but to be moved.

Shrink

A therapist living in Hollywood who's clientele are all famous stars struggles to come to terms with his wife's death. Using marijuana, booze and cigarettes to get by, one wonders how can he help others if he can't even help himself?

I did enjoy this dark drama, I love Kevin Spacey and his performance did not disappoint! It is a slow moving show with psychological meanings behind everything so this is not for those looking for action or a good time. It requires you to think and to feel and if you can do that, then you will enjoy the movie too.

Rachel Getting Married

Ok, Anne Hathaway is not Rachel. Anne Hathaway is not the one getting married.

I was confused for the first 15 minutes because I thought she was Rachel.

Ok, this movie is not for everyone but I liked it. It's a real movie where you have to think and dig deep to really understand and appreciate it.

My husband hated it. So it may not be for guys. The movie portrays Anne Hathaway in a very different role than her usual hollywood sugar gumdrop roles. I loved her in this! It was depressing at times but the ending was great and tied everything up with a nice happy bow.

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest

A young Jack Nicholson, a young Danny DeVito, and a young Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future-doc)

About a whole bunch of crazy people in a mental hospital, sometimes funny, sometimes wierd, and sometimes a little frightening.
