"Yes Man"

So a new Jim Carrey movie, eh? I feel like the last comedy he was in was Bruce Almighty, which was pretty good. If he's been in any other comedies since then, they probably weren't important because I don't remember them.

However, I really enjoyed this movie. There were several times where I laughed out loud. Sure, it sounds a lot like "Liar, Liar" and it is in some regards but for the most part, this movie was awesome. And the very cute Zooey Deschannel is in it (you'll recall her as the love interest in "Elf" even though she's been in other movies).

You'll also recognize Carrey's characters friends, at least I did. One of them played "Hyde" on "That 70's Show" and the other well I'm sure he's been in a bunch of other movies but I recognize him as "Ben" from "Wet Hot American Summer."

Man, there were some very zany and very funny, and kind of gross and kinky stuff in this movie. Please rent it.

"Blindness"

All in all, this was a good movie. There was a little too much sex and nudity, though. A couple times very unnecessarily so. But it was a neat concept and neat twists and such. It was artistic in regards to the effects they used.

I didn't like a lot of what the main woman character did (and I forget both the character name and her real name). She didn't do what any person would've obviously done and so it dragged the story along unnecessarily so. Basically, she didn't know how to survive but somehow managed to. It really pissed me off.

I didn't like how the government reacted in this movie, either. It seemed a little unbelievable. They basically did what they did with like TB patients back in the day: put em all together in some isolated location and kept the world away from em and vice versa. Except this wasn't staffed with doctors and nurses, they basically just quarantined these people, gave them a little food, and let them do whatever inside. Sure, everyone thought they were contagious, but come on. I call shenanigans on this film. It was entertaining for the most part but it felt too much like a prison movie in an unbelievable context.

"Miracle at St. Anna"

Yes, this is a Spike Lee film. And yes, this is the first Spike Lee film I've watched all the way through (almost 3 hours long). I liked it, I really did. It showed the story of four black US soldiers who find this little Italian boy who is...not crazy, just kind of off. Parts of it are magical, surreal, and spiritual. Though it does drag on, it is very interesting, the lives of all the characters in the film.

The ending was kind of lame, though. Very cheesy, hollywood. But all in all it was a good film. It did drag on at times, but I put it up there along the lines of movies like "Saving Private Ryan."
