For Your Consideration

From the director that brought you Best In Show and Waiting F0r Guffman comes another dry-humored hit. For Your Consideration is about the production of a low-budget film and its cast who catches wind of a possible Oscar nomination, throwing the cast into a frenzy. Similar to the ones before it, the mood has to be right in order to fully enjoy the humor of  this film (however, if you find yourself in that place, it's hilarious). This movie wasn't our favorite, but it's worth renting. 3 1/2 stars.

By the way, this entire review was typed by Lucas's left hand and Rebekah's right hand... it took a while, but was really amusing. 

Stardust

In this mythical tale, a young man goes on a daring adventure into another world to bring back a star for the woman he (thinks he) loves and instead finds true love along the way. This is a truly exciting and fun-filled story that will make you both gasp in surprise and burst out into laughter seconds later. There is a tad bit of dark scary magic, so if you rent this with small children, there may be tears and bad dreams. However, we both enjoyed it tremendously and found it to be a great date movie. We give it two thumbs up. (Sidenote: Robert Deniro's character is hilarious. -Rebekah)

Martian Child

GREETINGS EARTHLINGS! (Say it like a martian its a lot more fun -Lucas). In this heart-warming story, a Sci-fi writer and widower played by John Cusack decides to take a giant step and adopt a little boy... who thinks he's from Mars. With his weight-belt around his waist (to fight against gravity) and a constant layer of sunscreen on his face (to ward off the sun), this little Martian child will creep his way into your heart. It's a very family-friendly movie (it's rated PG), but just as enjoyable, if not more so, for the older crowd (because we are, of course, the older crowd...). Five stars, go rent it today.
