BRIDESMAIDS

Annie's life is a mess. Her best friend is getting married and asks her to be the maid of honor. Annie loves her friend but has so much going on in her own life she doesn't know if she can handle all the duties, plus she has to deal with a group of over opinionated Bridesmaids.

Bridesmaids was one of the most hilarious comedies I've seen in along time. Kristen Wiig was great but Melissa McCarthy (Megan) in my opinion stole the show! Her role was amazing, the opinion you have of her throughout the movie, and then in the end finding out who she really is was an unexpected twist to me. Loved It!!!

The Secret in Their Eyes (El Secreto de Sus Ojos)



Staring
Ricardo Darín
Soledad Villamil
Directed by: Juan José Campanella

A Retired Argentine criminal investigator Benjamín Espósito comes across a shocking discovery as he writes a book about an unsolved case. A young newlywed woman is brutally raped and murdered. Past and present intertwine for Espósito and colleague Irene Menéndez Hastings.

An excellent movie with a great plot and creative twists. A love story that doesn't take away from the main theme of the movie. I highly recommend this incredible movie.

CRAZY HEART

I highly recommend this movie. I loved it! Amazing directing, acting, soundtrack.
Incredible performances by all, maybe the best of all movies they have acted in.

The movie portrays washed up, alcoholic, country music legend Bad Blake. Blake gets interviewed by single mom Jean Craddock and they instantly fall for each other and begin dating. Not only does Blake fall for Jean but also for her young son. Blake must get over living with the success of Tommy, the young musician he once mentored and his alcohol problem to save his relationship with Jean and her son.

You will have to watch to see if Blake can turn his life around.

Even deeper interest for anyone who knows and/or loves a person fighting alcoholism.

Tear Jerker Alert!!
