The Sunday Drive: 6/27/10


John C. Reilly and Jonah Hill duke it out in this quirky comedy about a sadsack loser who finds love for the first time in years with the perfect woman, only to discover that her creepy protective son doesn't exactly want a father figure around the house. From directors Mark and Jay Duplass(The Puffy Chair), who combine their indie sensibilities with the natural comedic talent of Reilly, Hill, and Marisa Tomei.

2. Winter's Bone
Few are the times when after a movie is over I say to myself, "I've gotta find everything else that actress has been in. Now." That's exactly what happened after Jennifer Lawrence's unforgettable performance as Ree Dolly, a Missouri girl forced to track her drug dealing father after he puts their house up for bond and skips town. In doing so, she must navigate the ins and out of her seedy mountain village, where family ties run deep, but family loyalty is another thing altogether.

1. Toy Story 3
I thought the third film in any trilogy was supposed to be the worst? Should've known never to expect the typical from Pixar, as they buck the trend by making Toy Story 3 the strongest, most emotional adventure in the series yet. One more wild ride with Buzz, Woody, and the rest of the gang as they deal with their owner's impending adulthood and the fear of being cast aside.

DVD Pick of the Week: She's Out of My League
Geeks everywhere can look to She's Out of My League for inspiration, or the stuff of dreams. Take your pick. When Kirk(Jay Baruchel), an average guy by any stretch, finds that he's the apple of Molly's(Alice Eve) eye, he can barely believe it. She's a perfect 10. A straight up knock out. Nobody else can believe it either. Not his family, his friends, or her best friend. The question is whether or not their relationship can survive against constant scrutiny. A fun, raunchy date flick with a charming cast.
