Whip It

I am slowly falling in love with this movie. I didn't even know what roller derby was a couple of months ago-- but it made my list of "violent sports I think fondly of." The best part (aside from ladies kicking ass) are the derby names. Drew Barrymore is Smashley Simpson and Kristen Wiig is Malice in Wonderland.

Written by the same lady who did Juno (Diablo Cody) its about a cheerleader/homecoming queen who becomes possessed and starts killing her classmates. It employs about half of the Veronica Mars crew PLUS Allison Janney. Yay.

I am not quite sure if this is going to me a musical or just a movie with music in it but the trailer gives me goosebumps. Plus-- dance movies are my guilty pleasure.

This is probably going to be an average movie. I mostly just posted it because a) I like Ricky Gervais and Tina Fey and b) the scene with Stephanie March cracked me up

Sherlock Holmes

Umm...YES! Its directed by Guy Ritchie (RocknRolla and Snatch) and has Robert Downey Jr in it whom I have loved since Singing Detective. I recently realized he was on Ally McBeal for a stretch and sang! Mah fav is the solo he does on the piano ("River" by Jonie Mitchell) ACH! So good!
