2008 2007 2006 2005 2009 2010 Valentine’s Day- Rated PG-13 Grade ( B ) Gary Marshall’s latest flick Valentine’s Day is in theaters just in time for the loved and dreaded holiday. The movie itself has several story lines. Kind of like a six degrees of separation sort of thing where all the characters are intertwined, the most common denominator being Aston Kutcher’s character. While yes all the stories meant for lots of star power, I found the inclusion of so many actors got kind of annoying and made for detachment and distraction. The film however is hilarious, and there were enjoyable moments. My favorites included Julia Roberts & Bradley Cooper, Anne Hathaway & Topher Grace, and the ever hysterical Ashton Kutcher. With an honorable mention going to Jessica Biel who had plenty of funny moments. While I enjoy Taylor Lautner in the Twilight film, in this comedy flick he came off as a rookie. Same thing with Taylor Swift who was a little awkward in her scenes. I’m a little disappointed in the film, I guess I was expecting a bit more from Gary Marshall, he is after all a movie genius. However it’s worth seeing and you’ll get some laughs. -Rachel Parker

Ghost Writer - Rated PG-13 Grade ( A ) Ghost Writer, the latest from director Roman Polanski hits theaters today. Now I know the premise of film about a “Ghost Writer,” may not look interesting. But don’t judge this book by its cover. While the beginning started out at a bit of a slow pace, the plot quickly builds on mystery and suspense surrounding a claim of war crimes, with Pierce Brosnan’s character at the center of the investigation. Not to mention the mystery of how the previous “Ghost” for Brosnan actually died. McGregor’s who is a joy to watch, play’s the replacement Ghost Writer and starts to uncover clues as he looks through his predecessor's work. His curiosity becomes our curiosity, making a better case of who done it than Sherlock Holmes even. The film is full of surprises, unpredictable moments and even a little bit of humor. The best part of all though, is when we find out the truth to the mystery at hand and realize all the pieces were there. We just couldn’t put the puzzle together. Polanski most definitely succeeded in creating a smart film that kept us interested until the credits. -Rachel Parker
