Movies I Don't Want to See: What to Expect When You're Expecting

We were in Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago to see tiny singer-songwriter Paul Williams perform his greatest Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas-related songs, and it was great. The casino had a theater and we're too cheap to gamble, so after being all dressed up for the concert, we put on our sweatpants and went to see What to Expect When You're Expecting. Nobody wants to see this movie. It was exactly what we expected, so I can't really even get mad about it. I definitely can't spend the time it would take to list every thing that was horrible about it. And it's not like you need my warning to avoid this movie. If you saw it, you clearly also wanted to be eating movie popcorn in your sweatpants. And that's okay. Just don't let it happen again.

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas (DVD Review)

This movie is super good. The end is depressing, as I'm guessing you would imagine, but its depressing in a way you will NEVER EVER GUESS.

Seeing the holocaust through German eyes (both sympathetic to the Jewish people, and not) was super interesting and new.

RENT THIS NOW. But have a box of tissues nearby.

P.S. Keira Knightley's boyfriend (aka: the guy that could be Orlando Bloom's brother) is scary as hell in this movie. I knew I never liked Mr. Wickham.
