In a Gerard Butler kind of mood.

Ok, granted, the first movie I watched tonight did not have Gerard Butler in it, but the other 2 did.

The Time Traveler's Wife was a touching movie about a man who travels through time and meets a young girl, who eventually becomes his wife. I liked this movie a lot, it was not something I'd seen before, I know this is based off of a book, but it was a refreshing, new movie. Rachel McAdam's did a great job - i love that she never plays the same character. Although her character in this movie was similar to her portrayal of Allie in The Notebook, I thought that she brought a different personality to Claire. Eric Bana also did a great job.

Gamer is a movie about a live-action video game where the characters are played by inmates of a state prison and if they survive 30 levels of the game, they are promised their freedom. This movie was not the greatest, the plot line was weak and there was a lot of unnecessary nudity. I thought that the actors did a good job, both Butler [as always] and Michael C. Hall. I will also admit that it had some pretty decent action scenes, especially the opening scene.

The last movie of the night was Law Abiding Citizen. I saw this movie in theaters and absolutely loved it! Although parts were predictable, I did not see the end coming. Butler did another fantastic job as the ruthless, vengeful husband/father and Jamie Foxx was wonderful. Parts of the movie were unbelievable, but let's face it - that's Hollywood.

Favorite Gerard Butler movie: Phantom of the Opera. Hands down. His singing voice = incredible.


Coming out this week:
