Water for Elephants

   Now, I'm not a real fan of Robert Pattinson, but, I had been hearing good things about this movie, so I decided I would watch it. Well, I have to say, this was probably Robert Pattinson's best work form the movies of his I had seen so far.

  A veterinary student (Robert Pattinson) joins a traveling circus after tragedy strikes his home. After meeting the circus owners(Christoph Waltz) wife (Reese Witherspoon) he falls in love, and as their relationship blooms, life becomes much harder on the road.

   The movie wasn't quite what I thought it would be, but, it was still a decent watch. The story was quite good, and the acts in the circus were fun to watch. Christoph Waltz was the perfectly cast for this movie, in the role of the abusive husband. As much as I hated his character I loved to watch him play it. I didn't really feel the chemistry between Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson during the movie, which was a shame.

   Overall the movie was decent, nothing to write home about. I enjoyed it enough to recommend a watch if you have time. But, definitely not something you need to worry about missing, I don't see it winning any big awards.

The Runaways

   What is this madness? Two updates in one day? Heck yes, two updates that's more then one. The Runways staring Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning playing the parts of Joan Jett and Cherie Curry respectively. Okay, it was a decent movie, nothing spectacular, nothing to write home about. Just decent, a little longer then I would have liked but, I was still awake until the end, so that's something.

   The Runaways is a pretty easy movie to explain, it's about the forming of the band The Runaways, and what fame did to them, and how that lead to their eventual split. Oh, and it's about the friendship between Joan Jett and Cherie Curry.

   Really, if you liked the band you'll probably want to watch this movie, I don't know how much of it is real, and how much was Hollywood real, but, it's nice to see how a band got together and how it changed and grew to become what it was at the peak of it's success. Not to mention to see it all tumble down to the ground afterward.

   I wouldn't recommend setting through this movie, you could defiantly leave a long and happy life without ever seeing it, but, if you were a fan of The Runaways, or if you enjoyed Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, give it a watch.
