Quick Stop:
The Adjustment Bureau - Watch it.
Sucker Punch - Run for your life.
An intriguing story about a group of people whose job is to keep people on "the plan." They sort of act as guides using seemingly random happenstance to change what happens to your day. You didn't spill that coffee, they kind of gave it a little push so you would miss the bus. In the story, they are keeping a politician away from a woman so that his career can succeed. Will he let them?
The biggest surprise for me was that it was mostly a romantic film, more than it was Sci-Fi. It also had nice dots of humor and the chemistry between Blunt and Damon was great. I really enjoyed the film, even if I expected a lot more conspiracy thriller elements.
Sucker Punch - Man, I feel like I got Sucker Punched when watching this. It is THAT bad. I can usually find something to like about a film, but I just couldn't in this one. Not even Jenna Malone or Vanessa Hudgens could save it. Some girl gets put into an asylum, then has a vivid imagination to cope, then has vivid imaginings inside her vivid imagining. This movie is all girls in skimpy outfits with guns and swords, none of which is real and the story makes it clear that it isn't real. It's sad because I had no expectations for this, and hey girls in skimpy outfits, I should like right? Wrong. It was just terrible and then ending didn't help either.
I can't really blame anyone for judging the movie like that. I had very high expectations so I came out somewhat disappointed. I still thought the visuals were great and enough to make it worth seeing, I just wished that there had been more depth behind it all.

So I decided, contrary to the advice of so many people, to watch Sucker Punch.
