I absolutely adored Away We Go. Very cute, very funny. I actually preferred it to (500) Days of Summer. It's far from perfect, but I've seen it multiple times and I just love it.
(500) Days of Summer was "just" really good to me. I loved how it was done. It's very likable, JGL is great, the direction is good - but I never got that great feeling with it.

I really liked both these films. I loved John Krasinski in Away We Go.

See I guess I'm in the minority here. I thought both tried so hard to be great, had so much potential, but ultimately fell flat. In Away We Go, I though John Krasinski, Allison Janey, and Jim Gaffigan were really good, but the movie itself just really didn't do it for me. The Scene on the trampoline really cemented the movie as trying to be great but only achieving average results.

Away We Go was ******* hilarious. I haven't laughed that hard in theaters since I saw Pineapple Express stoned.

Being a The Office fan, it was refreshing to see John Krasinski play a completely different character. I loved Away We Go. I'm sick of critics telling me what movies are good and what aren't. I thought the humor throughout the movie was excellent, and I laughed and cringed from start to finish.
I'm glad John K left the beard at the set though.

Saw An Education today. Good stuff with some great performances.
Mulligan was fantastic. I enjoyed her very much. A fresh face to me, and she gave one of the best performances of the year.
Molina was wonderful, as expected.

So I just watched Kurt and Courtney for the first time in a long time. I'm not sure who is more despicable Courtney Love or her father. Still a good doc, even though there is too much love for Cobain. They all act like he had no say in his own life.

Just saw "Employee of the Month" with Matt Dillon and Steve Zahn.
Really good but really predictable at the end.

"Terminator 2" is starting. My favorite of the series (the storyline isn't as good as the first one, but the special effects are 2nd to none).
I never get tired of this movie.

If you don't like Terminator 2 than you're just a straight asshole.

just watched Precious, and it was everything I was hoping any more
I am probably the only person on this forum who has read Push and this movie was dead on. I loved it.

I know I'm probably going to get ripped for this but I was disappointed in the 40 Year Old Virgin. It had its moments but for me most of the movie was pretty meh.

Seth Rogen was gold in that movie.
I know he didn't say this, but "Let's get some ******' french toast."
