Over the last several weeks, there have been a ton of movies hitting the theaters that I just can't wait to see. I actually have a list with 18 movies on it right now. Instead of listing them all, I will list the ones that I've seen so far (which is half) and a brief review of them in alphabetical order. My ratings are as follows: Watch it! Rent it. Skip it.
Bobby - I dug this movie but the critics hated it. Here's the hard core honest truth that nobody would say or write about this movie: If you are not a minority, you will hate this movie. If you are a minority, you will love it, identify with it and respect Emilio Estevez for taking a stand. Watch it!
Borat - My sweetie and I paid to see Stranger Than Fiction and then afterwards snuck in to a screening of Borat that was just about to start. This "Susie Special Double Feature" was not planned, it just sorta happened. But Borat is so good that I would have paid to see it again and again. As we left the theater, I considered throwing 7 bucks at the cashier because the movie was that good. Watch it!
Charlotte's Web - Super sweet movie that, as you know, has a sad ending. This version isn't a musical but it's well done and if you like Dakota Fanning, you will not be disappointed. Rent it.
The Holiday - If you know me then you are well aware that no Jack Black movie goes under my radar. The Holiday was cute. I am really not a big fan of romantic comedies but this one was redeemed by Jack. It's too bad he wasn't the main character - that would have made it better. Rent it.
Little Miss Sunshine - Fantastic. Hilarious. The family in this movie is going to remind you of your own family. I missed its theater run but saw it on DVD. If it were still in the theaters, I would urge you to watch it so you MUST rent it!
Marie Antionette - I got into this movie for free - I got the cute face discount. Granted, it was a discount from the nerdy guy at the dollar movie, but it was still free. That turned out to be a good thing because this movie is poop. They should call it Marie Pooptionette. It's terrible. Skip it.
Pursuit of Happyness - I like Will Smith and his son is adorable in this flick. Any person with even half a heart will immediately relate and feel genuine compassion for this father-son team. Watch it!
Stranger Than Fiction - I'm a wordy girl so this movie about words and books appealed to me. It's such a cool story. Will Ferrell should win some sort of award for his role in this movie. He's outstanding. But the ending wasn't my style at all. Rent it.
Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny - This is probably the best movie ever made. Jack and Kyle prove to the world that they can rock. WATCH IT!

NERD ALERT! NERD ALERT!
Speaking of Borat, was it just me or did Sasha Baren Cohen look really smokin' hot at the Golden Globes?
I love your reference to the "Susie Special Double Feature". Last time that happened it was a win-win with The Break-Up and Nacho Libre!
Little Miss Sunshine was good and a must-rent, but it didn't break into my all time top ten.
I am embarrassed to say I haven't see the Pick of Destiny yet.
I did take my mom to see FREEDOM WRITERS. It's a good mom/daughter movie. You laugh, you cry, you get inspired to be a better person.
It's a good rent, so wait until it's dvd release.
My wishlist before the Oscars is Dreamgirls, The Departed, and Babel.
I'm surprised that you only had one "Skip It". It's disappointing that they made such a special exception for Coppola to film at Versailles and she f'd it up with a bad film.
