" Well it is shaping up to be a nice weekend the weekend after Easter from most a lot of people care and I think would like to go to a movie that things are quieting down a little bit here and -- is here once again from the frugal Yankee dot com a you don't I'm fine I'm enjoying this weather is beautiful as this -- spring were and that transition now aren't we get three movies to talk about first want to state of play with Russell Crowe playing an investigative journalists also Ben -- let's take a look."

" So you want to be paid. To help solve some amusement. Say it right and NPR and pressing questions when -- and that's what I like to be paid for help you get a book deal. Who's here for. Really everybody want to book deal and I'm like my kind okay that's just fair when it deletes them. Compensation compensation. Candid thoughts on. Sounds funny talent definitely divine excellence --"

" So lot of that comes right to the point certainly that at the very good set pieces it really doesn't tell you a lot about what's going that's Jason Bateman playing a sleazy PR -- and you can tell between all that shaggy hair there that was Russell Crowe and -- heard it looks like -- and Helen -- is in this rich mechanic and a Ben Affleck isn't it Jack Roosevelt and its gonna really good cast and -- district -- Kevin McDonald. Now Kevin MacDonald did touching the void and also last king of Scotland. Scene -- getting a certain kind of quality -- what's really interesting about this is this is a an investigative journalist newspaper guy sort of like All the President's Men but thirty years later and it kind of shows that -- care. McDonald is taken the for the position that newspapers. And Blogosphere and the people in the Blogosphere. Are really interconnected and that the investigative journalist know what they're doing and the block people are just expressing opinions of very interesting thing. -- all of this is a murder mystery. Nicely done I think associate."

" Yet elected I'm glad I don't I don't. I really do enjoy it I'm intrigued looks like a good movie another one completely different moved here seventeen again was that just when I go back as we probably see to -- Obama. So. It's classic transformation story. Are you now or have you ever been. Norse god vampire or conference on -- and this is what first grade at the media would've told you vampire wouldn't tell. Some were wooden ship. So something had I don't know what happened here that they both got hurt their vice Exxon or whatever they guys overlooks it looks interesting if you -- into this thing and this is going to be really bad."

" I mean it's it's freaky Friday -- back after on who has the teen heartthrob. And you gonna another body switching I want to go back to high school we live my life figure out whether I did the right decision made the wrong decision that's your basic plot. I those going to be horrible really photos and view but it's not that it's really terrible that -- and is a very attractive young star doesn't do a lot of stretching your. But what's really amazing is Lesley Meehan is in this and Matthew Perry isn't Leslie Mann is Judd Apatow whose wife. Who's -- lot of great comments are very good comedian you wondering why this great talent in this kind of small them. I can't answer that question. But if you are young teenage girl and you think -- is the end of all as -- absolutely love this if your teenage boy take the girl and you know. You got points."

" That's I think you have some laughs out of it just because. I totally disappoint I can basket. Also we have goodbye solo we're gonna take a look at that and watching as she talked about it this is an independent film by. As I understand it in a rainy and filmmaker but takes place in this country."

" It's an Iranian American morning New York City but he's he's got out of -- and sensibility. This is a story that takes place in Winston-Salem. North Carolina by a flat tax -- black text character every single least I. And a seven year old wiped out indiscriminate about the white -- buyer credit west. Brad quest is -- is bodyguard means literally -- is Elvis his bodyguard OK and then it became the character actor. But what this is really it is this is your classic independent -- there's no special effects but it's a wonderful relationships found a between any new immigrant and an old guard kind of person. The old man is planning and committing suicide he wants a taxi cab driver to drive to a peak where he wants to jump off. What's nice about this film as you know that right off the start. So the whole thing is about whether this black guy is going to be able to convince the white guy not to commit suicide and into relationship between him so it's a relationship movie. Well done. This -- the director -- is someone to watch he's done a couple other phones but he's definitely someone to watch for the future and not in wide release I would imagine -- can see this -- again it's a small art house floor house starting in the -- that does well be going -- to other theaters. Well once again arrogantly approval -- dot com thanks for being here we appreciate my pleasure. Yeah."
