The Other Blue Valentine

Just watched some DVDs at home last night and the night before cuddled up on the couch by myself and chose to watch a couple of 2010 films that I never got the chance to watch before they went to selling in stores.

This one I honestly wanted to laugh at and be impressed by but I maybe laughed three times the entire movie. It's definitely not your typical Will Ferrell film though. He takes on a different kind of humor. Maybe I didn't find it amusing because of that but I really don't think thats the case. And I'm also a really big Mark Wahlberg fan and I figured he would be really funny in this but.. meh. This movie was just OKAY for me.

Projectionist Grade: C

Blue Valentine was a really beautifully done film. Although incredibly sad, this film probably moved me more then any other love story I've seen in a while. The Adjustment Bureau was good for all fans of less sexual intercourse and more action scenes but this film was definitely RATED R. There's a lot of sexual intercourse. Almost enough for someone to turn it off. I even fast forwarded a little bit through one scene but it was still a really well done film, just don't let anyone under the age of 18 or 19 watch it. I heard a rumor from one of my managers at the movie theater that the rating was almost X because of all of the sex scenes. A few Oscar recognitions were made for this film as well. Really well done.
