Splice

A good, classic sci-fi film without all the extra footage of action and explosions is rare these days. Splice is a rare gem. The updated version of Frankenstein involves a couple of N.E.R.D.’s and their special creation Dren: a hybrid of human, bird, butterfly, and cat (I think). This movie was enjoyable to watch with excellent pacing and like every good science fiction had social commentary.

Letters to Juliet

It is wonderful to go to a movie and get exactly what you were expecting and what you wanted. This movie was a chick flick about love and romance in Verona, Italy, pure and simple. It never got too sappy or whiny and it left me wanting to find true love and go to Italy. It was the perfect daydream of a lovely summer romance. Extra bonus: I made a new friend when I went to go see it.
