Country Strong
Summary:
A drama centered on a rising country-music songwriter (Hedlund) who sparks with a fallen star (Paltrow). Together, they mount his ascent and her comeback, which leads to romantic complications involving her husband/manager (McGraw) and a beauty queen-turned-singer (Meester).
My Thoughts:
I may have been in the minority on this one, but I thought this movie was fantastic. I'll admit I may be a bit biased since I am a country music fan, but I believe this movie has a strong enough story line to entertain those who aren't fans of country music as well. Not only does this movie have a strong story, that breaks away from the predictable plot it easily could've used, but it also features a fabulous soundtrack that contains both original music and covers of country favorites. If you have not already seen this movie in theaters do yourself a favor and at least rent it!
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Summary:
As Harry races against time and evil to destroy the Horcruxes, he uncovers the existence of three most powerful objects in the wizarding world: the Deathly Hallows.
My Thoughts:
Deathly Hallows is based upon the seventh book in the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling, and part one of the final installment of the movie franchise. With Harry Potter I believe people fall into more or less two categories; you either love it, or you couldn't care less. Being an avid reader I most definitely fall into the first category, although I do believe the movies, and this one in particular can be enjoyed by a wide audience. By now Harry and his friends have come a long way since they're initial arrival at Hogwarts. This film, while significantly darker than the others, finds a happy balance with terrific acting, and bit of humor amidst all the action and suspense, that keeps you entertained from the time the movie starts up until the credits roll.
