Gone, Baby, Gone

Patrick Kenzie (Casey Affleck) and Angela Gennaro (Michelle Monaghan) are private investigators who specialize on finding missing children. Set in a rough neighborhood in Boston where Patrick was born and raised, he makes it his business to know everyone and everything going on in his city. When a case comes to his door involving a missing 4 year old girl, little do Patrick and Angela know that this case will change their lives forever. As Patrick and Angela work alongside the Boston PD to find the missing child, they all realize there is way more to the case than what meets the eye.

Casey Affleck delivers an oscar worthy performance in this masterpiece of a film while his brother Ben Affleck flexes his directing muscle. Hollywood veterans, Ed Harris and Morgan Freeman, play some great supporting roles to supplement Casey's performance. This movie keeps you entertained and intrigued throughout. Gone, Baby, Gone is one of those movies which will have you talking for days, even after the movie is over. I would give this more than 5 stars if I could.

Grey's Anatomy

Grey's Anatomy is currently in it's fourth season and let me tell you if they don't do something fast this might (or at least should)be their last season. Don't get me wrong I'm still a faithful Grey's watcher; every Thursday at 9 pm I am glued to my TV for an hour. But the problem is I find myself getting upset at the TV more often these days. They have these characters doing some pretty dumb stuff (best friends falling in "love", people breaking up but not really breaking up because they have sex on a regular basis, and so on). Even those who do not watch the show know about Meridith Grey and how everyone hates her always complaining, self-pitying, doesn't know a good thing when she's got it character, well this season they've introduced another Grey to the cast (Meredith's sister) and she is just as annoying.

If you are not currently a fan I would not advise that you start watching now, because you would absolutely hate it (i still like it but I'm a fan, and understand the stupid drama and character backgrounds). I would however recommended seeing the first and second seasons because those were truly awesome and would allow you to understand why fans like me still tune in every Thursday. (we're hoping maybe the magic will return)

How I Met Your Mother

It's the year 2030 and Ted Mosby is sitting his kids down to tell them the story of How he Met their mother (hence the title). The story starts 25 years ago, where Ted is a bachelor in New York City living with his best friends Marshall(Jason Segel from Knocked Up) and Lily(Alyson Hannigan from American Pie). Then there's his womanizer friend, Barney(Neil Patrick Harris, Doogie Howser M.D.), who is always ready to be Ted's wingman as they go out on the town looking for a girl for Ted. This usually leads them to the pub which is located underneath Ted's apartment. Ted is picky and has some bad luck with women. Every week Ted goes through another story in his life, which will all lead to how he met his future wife.

How I Met Your Mother is another one of my favorite shows on TV. It is great from front to back. The acting, the writing, the directing, the concept - it's all good. At times it's funny and at other times it's uproarious. Currently it is in its 3rd season, but I would recommend you watch this starting from the first episode, first season. Trust me, you will enjoy it a lot more if you know how it all started. After watching a couple episodes, I'm sure you'll go out and do it anyway.

Who is "the mother"? When will she be revealed? What will Barney do next? You've gotta tune in to find out!

Why Did I Get Married?

Unlike the typical Tyler Perry film, the hilarious Madea was not included in this one. However this by no means diminished its value. This movie is dramatic, funny and romantic. The plot is based on four couples who take yearly vacations together where they evaluate the state of their marriage. But when one of the husbands brings another woman on the trip with him, the cozy vacation in the mountains begins to spiral out of control. The climax of this film is the dinner scene where everyone at the table has a devastating secret exposed, and believe me these are some juicy, unexpected secrets.

This movie is a must see, you will be laughing the entire time (for the most part), and at least once ask yourself: Why do people get married?
