What kind of Blog is this?

I decided to combine two activities, getting in shape on the elliptical machine (hence the title of the blog) and watching movies on my tablet device. What a perfect world! I am a really big fan of the movies and love all genres. You will see discussions on Sci-Fi, Horror, Historical, Romance, Comedy, Drama, Classics, and so on. Watching a movie instantly makes the hour spent working out simply fly by! I have decided to watch movies that I am interested in and then discuss how I enjoyed the movie. Hard to really call it a review seeing that most of the movies have already been released nationally. I will rate each on a scale of 1 to 10 (ten being the best). Most of the movies that I discuss will be movies that appear on Cable TV. So if you were hesitant about watching a particular movie, you can utilize my commentary before you sit down and watch.

Last Night


"Last Night" is an intimate look into a young marriage over the course of a day.  You get some background information from a party that the lovely couple (portrayed by Keira Knightly and Sam Worthington) attends the night before.  Joanna is a writer, currently working the freelance market, but truly hoping to produce book worthy material.  Michael is a young business man who has to travel over the next couple of days for work.  At the party they attended together it becomes obvious to Joanna that Michael is attracted to fellow and new coworker Laura (Eva Mendes).  Joanna confronts Michael with her intuition and an argument ensues.  He admits that his coworker is attracted to him, but nothing has ever happened as a result.  Joanna humbly acknowledges that she truly does not have anything to worry about when it comes to her husband.  Or does she?


During their time apart, Joanna runs into a previous love, Alex (Guillaume Canet).  Alex is a French writer that she met during her time spent in France.  She has never told her husband about this relationship and questions why has she kept him a secret?  Is it because she holds out some sort of hope for a future with Alex?  And a simple train ride away, can Michael truly avoid his growing desire for the beautiful Laura?  It is an interesting and dramatic look at the complexities of relationships.


I give it a 7 out of 10.


Next up is "TiMER."
