The 40 Year-Old Virgin

Raunchy yet it still had a decent plot considering the title of the movie. Steve Carell did a great job in the lead. Probably one of the funnier movies I’ve seen lately, yet I never got around to watching that other hit comedy of the summer, Wedding Crashers. Unfortunately it’s only playing in the second run theaters now and I might as well wait for it to come out on DVD.

Everything Is Illuminated

Better than expected, yet I felt like it could have done a lot more. There’s some great material in this movie, and it entertained me a lot more than I thought it would, yet considering the subject matter it never quite reaches as high as it could. Ever since I saw the trailer I was expecting this to be one of my favorite movies this year, yet not quite. Worth checking out if you found the trailer interesting.

Corpse Bride

First off, I forgot that this was a children’s movie. Second, I forgot that there’d be singing in it. Aside from that though, I liked it. Maybe a bit light on the story, but just getting to see Tim Burton’s sweet claymation is always a treat. I need to see The Nightmare Before Christmas again since I haven’t seen it in ages.
