The Proposal

Directed by Anne Fletcher. Written by Pete Chiarelle. Starring Sandra Bullock, Ryan Reynolds, and Betty White.

Touchstone Pictures - 2009

Two Stars of Review!

I chose The Proposal because I've been watching so many low budget horror films lately (What can I say? They get me the most hits.) that I wanted something that was exactly the opposite. I can't say I was happy with my choice, but at least there was no profanity and gore.

As your typical romantic comedy The Proposal does everything you would expect and nothing more. Every moment that Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds are on screen together is funny and engaging, but the majority of the time Bullock is dragged through a series of increasingly lame gags, some of which involve eagles and crotches, but, sadly, not eagle crotches.

The Science of Sleep

Four Stars of Review! ****

There are a lot of adjectives I could use to describe this film, but I'll spare the gushing and just say that you shouldn't hesitate to watch this incredibly imaginative and wonderful movie. OK, so I used a couple of adjectives, but that's beside the point. Unless you're violently apposed to films that get more than just a little trippy or you're one of those people that hate reading subtitles then rent or buy this immediately.
