Changeling

I had been waiting quite a while to see this film which gave Angelina Jolie a Best Actress nod at this year's Oscars. It definitely lived up to my expectations.

Jolie was absolutely amazing, as well as the rest of the cast, which included John Malkovich and a bunch of very talented people I've never heard of (haha). A true story about a mother's determination to find her kidnapped son and the corruption of the LAPD during the 1920s, Changeling is a movie that will suck you in the moment the opening credits roll. Clint Eastwood did a tremendous job directing as always. Rent this movie TODAY.

Four angel wings!!

Austrailia!

I was really excited about this movie, but then it didn't get great reviews and wasn't in theater's very long, so it became a rental this week.

It was pretty good. A sweeping "epic," there were quite a few pretty shots, but the plot was a bit discombobulated, and a bit longer than it needed to be. LOVE Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman, plus director Baz Luhrman, but it lacked the usual spark his movies bring to the screen. Overall, a solid rental. Two angel wings.

Talkin It Up on the Jimmy Fallon Talk Show

I was more than excited when they announced that Jimmy Fallon would be taking over for Conan O'Brien on NBC's Late Show. And after what seems like an eternity of waiting, it finally premiered last night!

If you didn't get a chance to catch it last night or set your DVR, you really missed out. I'll admit I had pretty high expectations, and fortunately, they were all met. Jimmy did a great job, and his house band is the f-ing ROOTS. How cool is that?!?

My favorite part of the show was when Jimmy decided to "Slow Jam the News." I really can't describe it...you can watch it here.

His first guest was Robert DeNiro...an excellent choice, especially since Mr. DeNiro is not known for doing talk shows. Pretty good interview...and I didn't know Jimmy and Bobby did a movie together.

Next up...Justin Timberlake!! These two are hilarious...and the interview did not disappoint.

Musical guest was Van Morrison...Jimmy has really hit it out of the park with the guests so far. Other guests this week include Tina Fey (!), Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, and Ludacris, just to name a few. So set your DVRs or take a disco nap...this is a show you want to do your best not to miss.
