Not only was Vicky Cristina Barcelona a hot movie it also won Best Picture – Comedy at the 2009 Golden Globe Awards! It stars Javier Bardem, Scarlett Johansson and Penelope Cruz. I finally got a chance to watch it last night. I’m not sure how this is a comedy though..but I guess with all the wine and the sarcastic narration I missed it. I found it more of a drama.

Vicky Cristina Barcelona is a story of  two American women on a carefree Spanish holiday meet a charming local painter and become enamored by him, only to have his intensely passionate ex-wife reenter his life and stir up trouble.

I found it was a passionate movie. With all the love in the air and the sexiness of Javier I was just hoping everyone would be able to get him in the end.  One thing is for certain I am totally obsessed with Scarlett’s hair! I need it!

There are no extra’s with this movie which is a downside. I would have loved to see the bloopers that Scarlett and Javier had between each other. But in any case it was released to DVD on January 27 and is 93 minutes long.

The Dark Knight premiered last night and is steadily breaking records…And since I wasn’t able to get to see the movie I have Nick Wolfwood, who works with me at Backseat Cuddler, to tell you all about the awesome movie.

What makes a lunatic? What drives a person to conceive of and execute heinous acts? What makes a hero? Why does he fight for good? What does it take to change a man in a monster? Why does any of it matter? These are some of the questions that are explored unlike ever before. The very essence of evil, and the nature of the good-hearted are pitted against each other in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight.

This film floored me. I am truly amazed at the brilliance of the script, the vibrant performances and the razor sharp direction. Christopher Nolan has crafted not only the most solid comic book movie ever, but also quite easily, the best movie I’ve seen this year. His work with each detail of every scene is superb and well crafted.

For the rest of the review go here.

I really need to get to the movies to watch this movie. It’s killing me to not see it…
