Three words – they sound so easy, yet they can be so difficult. For all of you out there that love Julia Roberts as much as this Mystic Pizza loving 80s baby, let’s hear it. What did you think about Eat Pray Love? Did it make you want to jump for women’s lib joy? Did it make you feel the travel freedom that comes from lifting your glass any place that doesn’t speak English? Or did it make you want to Drink, Imbitter, Dislike (kinda like the Bachelor Pad makes us feel)? For all of you out there that “just want to marvel at something,” did Eat Pray Love put the skip back in your travel bug prone little self? Or did it feel more like food poisoning, church retreat, and the defeat of the 7th grade dance?

Movies galore! Starts tonight and runs through April 25th. We think Alexander the Last and Beeswax look pretty good. Elaney + starving artists = love.

We were afraid of this. The reviews aren’t great. Like we said, we are still going to go see it. We just figured it wouldn’t be winning any Academy Awards.

New feature here on elaney. We are going to spotlight the movies premiering each weekend we are most interested in (FYI you probably won’t see any of the SAW series on the list). Oh, and we are going to do this on Thursday…starting next week!
Without further ado…
Run, Fatboy, Run
We tend to love all British movies, and we are curious about David Schwimmer’s directoral debut. The movies is about a man who leaves his preggers fiance on their wedding day and his attempt to win her back. It’s not getting the greatest reviews ever, but we think that it might be worth a looksie.
Stop-Loss
Besides the fact that Stop-Loss was the breeding ground for the Ryan Phillippe / Abbie Cornish union, we do think it looks decent. The film is about retaining individuals in the military beyond their agreed to contract. It’s directed by Kimberly Peirce who directed the acclaimed “Boys Don’t Cry.” We don’t really like war movies of the We Were Soldiers variety, but we find films that give insight into the world of the military (re: Jarhead) are quite interesting.
