Dollar movie

No movie

My papers and exams are done. I’m going to sleep. Maybe you should, too. Otherwise, don’t you have a paper to write?

Waitress
8 10 12

A cute and quirky film about a waitress and pie. Unhappily married, Jenna (the waitress) has plans to leave her husband, when — oops! — she’s pregnant. There’s an affair with her doctor, a pie-baking contest, and (of course) a diner. Not your traditional romantic comedy, it’s worth a look. Oh, and did I mention that the main character is played by Felicity’s Keri Russell?

Live Free or Die Hard
7:30 10 12:30

I know lots of people think this movie is one too many in the Die Hard series, but those people probably didn’t see it. You don’t have to have seen any of the other Die Hards to get the plot, nor do you only have to be a guy to like it (there’s other stuff besides huge bangs and explosions). There are three things people say about this movie:

1. “Hilariously funny.”
2. “He crashed a car. Into a plane.”
3. “Dude! That was Tuvok!”

Shrek the Third
8:15 10 11:45

If it hadn’t been the sequel to the original Shrek and Shrek 2, I can guarantee you this movie would have bombed in theaters. This isn’t to say that Shrek the Third doesn’t have its moments, but that’s all they are — moments. The plot: Shrek, Donkey, and Puss in Boots go on an adventure to find the next King Arthur (Justin Timberlake), and Princess Fiona shows some girl power and kicks Prince Charming’s ass. Woohoo.

Mulholland Drive
7:30 10 12:30

A mind-bending thriller, Mulholland Drive will leave you confused and awed. It’s nice to watch Naomi Watts freak out (there’s something about amnesiacs). Moreover, the cinematography is amazing; most of it seems surreal and dreamlike, and it’s all one big puzzle. If you just want a movie that takes little brainpower to watch, this is not it.
