Rango & The Adjustment Bureau

I saw my first two movies in theaters this year. They are the only two wide-release movies that have scored over 70% on RottenTomoatoes.com this year. Doesn't say much for the quality of movies that have come out in 2011 and it's no coincidence that we haven't been lured to go to a movie until now. I'm please to say that both movies (
Rango &
The Adjustment Bureau) were worth seeing. I'm not a huge animated movie fan and the beginning of this movie got off to a bit of an odd start but overall it was entertaining and the animation was probably the best I've ever seen for a movie like this. I'm still not sure how a lizard has hair done up with curlers, but I guess lizards don't talk and wear clothes either nor do snakes wear cowboy hats and turtles need wheelchairs, haha. Suspending any semblance of reality is necessary when watching an animated movie!

The other movie we saw: the Matt Damon/Emily Blunt thriller, The Adjustment Bureau was an excellent film. Wit shades of
Inception but with a love story as the main theme, the movie was intricate, exciting and interesting. I love that every once in a while movie studios are still willing to make movies that aren't sequels or remakes and don't insult the audiences intelligence. And I just have to say how much I love Emily Blunt. She's such a likable actress. I highly recommend both films.
