friday randoms. the movie edition.

i've been on a movie kick lately. my downloader started working again, so i've been going a little nuts. here are the last 5 movies i've watched, in no particular order. and i fully admit they're not all oscar worthy, but when you don't pay for something, it makes it easier to sit through 2 hours of not so great acting.

1. the next three days
i admit that before this post, i had never heard of this movie. i rarely watch tv, and the tv i do watch is all on pvr, so i never see commercials. ironic that the girl who works at an advertising agency doesn't watch advertisements. ha! anyway, although parts of it were slow, it was really good.

2. easy a

a movie i just randomly downloaded because it looked like cute and light hearted. and okay, maybe because penn badgley was in it. maybe. and it wasn't that bad! emma stone is totally adorable. a pleasant surprise after all.

3. the back-up plan
even though i heard this movie was terrible, i went for it anyway. i honestly think i have very low standards when it comes to movies involving cute men and romantic, totally far-fetched storylines. but holy wowza - alex o'loughlin? where have you been all my life? his voice alone makes me swoon. is that weird?

4. life as we know it
complete surprise here. i was expecting the same old gushy romantic storyline, but this was more than that. i really liked it.

5. she's out of my league
this made me laugh. and although i couldn't quite get over alice eve + skinny little jay baruchel together, it was a cute movie.

have you watched any good movies lately? anything you recommend? anything i should steer clear of?
