Left Behind

This movie could've been so much more than it is had it just followed the book instead of limiting the story to only the events on the plane. There were moments I liked, but not the moments the director was going for. There were dramatic moments that were so over-acted and fake they became funny. There was no reason to have an overly angry little person making every stereotypical insult to little people as well as being anti-Muslim. The absurdness minimizes the message of the movie.

Hector and the Search for Happiness

In case you aren't aware Simon Pegg has massive geek appeal. He is adorably nerdy, and uber talented. I'm not even ashamed to admit I have a serious crush on him. While I like Simon Pegg very much, I don't like him in this movie. It's a self-help book turned into a movie. I'm just not sure it should have been. In fairness, I never read the book. I only read a few pages in my quest to understand why Pegg would even make this movie. It isn't the worst movie I've seen. That title is still held by Winter's Tale. I just couldn't get past the feeling that the movie was made to try to force me to discover what makes me happy. I already know that answer. Star Wars. Sadly, this movie didn't make me happy at all.
