Yes Man

Yes Man

Who's in it: Jim Carrey, Zooey Deschanel

What's it about: Carl(Carrey) has always said "No" to everything. He lost his wife and his life due to his most famous word. After attending a seminar about saying "Yes" to everything, his life begins to turn around. Even some of the bad things lead to great things. He meets an extraordinary woman named Allison(Deschanel). She doesn't know anything about his "Yes" cult. When she does find out she is forced to analyze her relationship with Carl. Carl has to find himself and what figure out the rest of his life.

What I Think: Carrey is a hoot! Deschanel helps to bring out the character. I thought it was kind of weird that Carrey, a much older man, was with Deschanel, a much younger woman. That was the only flaw I really found with the movie. The story was pretty funny and I liked the different twists that it took to get to the end. I kept expecting Carrey to say his line, "It's good. It's goooooood!!!". I guess that I really associate him with that phrase. As for the setting, I loved it! Anyways, great movie, great performance, great everything!

The Happening

The Happening

Who's in it: Mark Wahlberg, Zooey Deschanel, Ashlyn Sanchez, John Leguizamo

What's it about: Something is happening to the Northeast part of the United States. An airborne toxin is taking over and causing people to kill themselves. Elliot(Wahlberg) and Alma(Deschanel) are escaping New York with Julian(Leguizamo) and his daughter Jess(Sanchez), but Julian decides to go back for his wife when he loses contact with her. Leaving Jess is his friends hands, the 3 leave to Pennsylvania, only to meet more of intoxicated persons. It seems like they will never find an escape.

What I Think: Personally, this movie was great. I was so intent on figuring it out, only to be stunned by the ending. My boyfriend was completely confused and hated the whole movie. Wahlberg was an amazing actor. Sanchez, however, could've used a little more teaching. When you learn to cry, then you become a great performer. I thought that a child like her would've been able to perform such a feeble task as to cry. Anyways, great movie. Definetley one for the books.

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Hatchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Who's in it: Martin Freeman, Mos Def, Zooey Deschanel, Sam Rockwell, Alan Rickman

What's it about: When Arthur's(Freeman) best friend, Ford(Def), tells him that the end of the world is in 10 minutes, he doesn't believe him. Madly in love with Trisha(Deschanel), he doesn't want to leave Earth. But Ford hitches them the ride of a lifetime. After they're kicked off one spaceship, they get saved by another one. Trisha and the man who stole her away, the President of the Universe Zaphod(Rockwell), and their depressed robot helper, Marvin(Rickman). They're on their way to find the answer to the Ultimate Question.

What I Think: Martin is a great actor and I like movies that have him in it. I loved how Rickman did Marvin's voice. I love his voice and every movie that he is in. The plot was a little boring. I enjoyed the graphics and comstume decorations for Zaphod and the other aliens. It was a very creative movie with alot of comedy that made me laugh. Britian does it again with their great British humour
