BradWesley123's Movie Journal- March 2011

Danny Boyle manages a pretty staggering feat here; making a movie about a guy trapped by a rock intriguing. He's aided tremendously by James Franco, giving the best performance of 2010. Intimate and claustrophobic, the movie holds your attention from beginning to end.

While it does boast some slick action, and some decent performances, it never manages to transcend its material. Fairly bland beyond the action.

Charming little comedy featuring Emma Stone's breakout performance.

For a movie that sells itself as an edgy sex-comedy, it's really pretty conventional. Gyllenhaal and Hathaway keep it watchable though.

There's a pretty solid story at its core, but its muddled by excessive length and too much plot.

Well-meaning, but ultimately toothless. Swank and Rockwell do some strong work, it just never really takes off.

Just pure shit. So pointless and poorly executed that even at 94 minutes, it's too long.
