Deathwatch

We went in not knowing what the heck to expect, and ended up being impressed. The movie could have seriously kicked ass if they had done things a little differently, but it had a good cast with solid performances, (including Andy Serkis, Jamie Bell, and "Colin-God-of-Sex" from Love, Actually) and Chris was particularly impressed with the attention to WWI detail. The story was decent, but should have been hyped as a psychological thriller a la Jacob's Ladder, rather than straight up horror.
Crazy, Stupid, Love.
PG-13
It's pretty good. Funny, sweet...the only downside is that it can feel a little long-ish toward the end, but overall, it's worth seeing.

What can I say about this film? It's awesome in every way. Funny, moving, perfect. Morgan Freeman's narrative creates an omniscient point of view so that the audience sees and feels all that goes on in the hearts of the characters, a style that Stephen King has perfected, and it's very effective.

The performances in this film are sublime. So many scenes stand out as some of my favorites in cinematic history. And the music!
