Review by: Sherri
I LOVED this movie! When I came put of the theater, I was ecstatically happy. I love good drama, and I love Ryan Gosling!

This film is about a driver, played by Gosling who works at an auto shop, and occasionally drives as a stunt driver/getaway car driver/hero. Gosling was wonderful. He always is. His character is so cool, and collected, and then...

Carey Mulligan plays Gosling's neighbor, and Bryan Cranston (who I can't seem to get enough of lately) plays Gosling's boss. This movie was totally unpredictable to me. I never knew where the next scene would take me, and at the end of the film, I was in a completely different place that I ever though I would be.


The style of the film is one to note. It was a modern story with almost a chincy eighties feel. I loved the music, it fit the film wonderfully. The lighting, and music together, gave the film a stylish lonely, but bold and new feel. However, if you are squeamish at all, this may not be for you. Now go see it!!!

Blue Valentine

Rated: R
Review by: *Sherri*



I just finished watching Blue Valentine, and I am speechless. I have been meaning to watch it for a long time now, and I finally did! Gosling is one of my favorite actors, there is just...a way about him. Michelle Williams is fantastic as well. This was a great movie...but one that I will probably not want to watch again. I could fill this post up with girly analizations of the characters and plot...but it is best that you see it for yourself. The story is raw, lonely, heartbreaking, sweet, and at times, downright depressing, but full of rich emotion and the whole relationship of the characters seems so real. I feel like a nerd saying this, but I don't remember the last time that I cried in a movie...until now.
