The Open Road

I've been on a Kate Mara kick lately, and this light dramedy also had a young and still young-and-goofy-looking Justin Timberlake as a bonus for me. Mara has the ability to fall perfectly into any genre and own it. I recently saw her as an embattled medieval baroness, a corporate killer, and now a comedic ex-girlfriend. Timberlake is always fun to watch, and he was pretty funny in this. Jeff Bridges as his father was also great fun to watch. This was a witty film worth a watch if you're looking for something light. 3.5/5

Last Vegas

A thoroughly engaging, charming, and genuinely laughable comedy with the best chemistry I've seen in a while. 4/5

Elvis & Anabelle

This quirky romantic drama is cute & well acted esp. by Lively but didn't really spark me. Good, not great. 3/5

Dirty Girl

What a surprise! This wasn't what I expected at all - a very poignant, heart-wrenching & lovely coming-of-age film. This film also had one of the most beautiful & sensual seduction scenes I've ever seen. Just gorgeous. 4.5/5

Miss Firecracker

Filled with caricatures instead of characters, this film was tedious & shallow instead of deep & meaningful. 2/5
