#12 This Is 40

Looking for something light, and relief from the holidays we went to "We Are 40" the other night. I'd say as far as comedies go it wasn't bad, but it's probably Judd Apatow's worst film. The story centers around a couple who are turning 40 while there life is seemingly falling apart. As a practical person not living in Hollywood the couple is pretty hard to feel bad for. They are complaing about being broke while they drive luxury cars, cater their parties, and take an expensive spa retreat. Everytime they complain we just wanted to yell at the screen "Lower your overhead!"

That said, there are some pretty good laughs, and few good cameos for the music geeks out there.

#10 and #11 Looper

Now this movie is pretty good. Not so good that you should see it twice; I just happened to have he opportunity to see it twice. The first time I told Vonny I would buy her $3.00 ticket if she told the guy at the counter that she wanted to see pooper. She did. He just said "One for Looper." and took my money. Its kind of a fun time-travel action flick. I many times was reminded of Terminator 2.  I say T2, because its better than the original, but I suppose Looper can be compared to the original Terminator if that is your thing., even Sarah Connor Chronicles or Terminator 3, but definitely not Terminator: Salvation. That movie just sucked. I would rank the movies as such:

1. Terminator 2
2. Terminator
3. Sarah Connor Chronicles
4. Looper
5. Terminator 3
6. Black Knight (starring Martin Lawrence)
7. Terminator: Salvation
