Midnight In Paris

I like Woody Allen movies because I get his humor. He has a style of writing and directing in his movies. This movie Midnight in Paris was engaging from beginning to end. The acting was fine and the storyline was different. I recommend watching it if you get a chance. IMDB: A romantic comedy about a family traveling to the French capital for business. The party includes a young engaged couple forced to confront the illusion that a life different from their own is better. Gil and Inez travel to Paris as a tag-along vacation on her parents' business trip. Gil is a successful Hollywood writer but is struggling on his first novel. He falls in love with the city and thinks they should move there after they get married, but Inez does not share his romantic notions of the city or the idea that the 1920s was the golden age. When Inez goes off dancing with her friends, Gil takes a walk at midnight and discovers what could be the ultimate source of inspiration for writing. Gil's daily walks at midnight in Paris could take him closer to the heart of the city but further from the woman he's about to marry.

Invincible

This movie isn't new but I only watched it recently. It is based on a true story and very inspiring. These types of movies are always enjoyable. The acting was great and the cast included: Mark Wahlberg, Greg Kinnear, Elizabeth Banks, Melissa Demyan, Steve Staiger, Vincent Riviezzo, Michael Kelly, Kevin Conway.

The summary of the movie from netflix: Devoted Philadelphia Eagles fan Vince Papale (Mark Wahlberg) has just lost his wife and his job as a substitute teacher. But by impressing his favorite NFL team's coach in open tryouts and winning a place on the field, he turns a terrible year into a winner. Greg Kinnear and Elizabeth Banks co-star in this inspirational, fact-based drama from the producers of the similar but baseball-themed The Rookie.

Casino Jack

I just watched Casino Jack. I didn't realize it was inspired by real events. Nevertheless, the movie was good overall. I just thought Kevin Spacey's character was really annoying with the movie quotes and impersonations. Definitely worth watching if you like political movies. Just confirms what we all know about politicians and that is they are all dirty.
