Keeping Mum and Running with Scissors

I watched these two movies this week. Out of the movies I borrowed from the library my hopes were set on Keeping Mum. Out of all the movies, it was maybe the second best. I actually liked Employee of the Month the best out of all the movies I borrowed, but I enjoyed Keeping Mum as well. It was funny and cute and endearing, but with a surprising ending (for me anyway).

Running with Scissors was a very strange movie. I think the saddest part of this movie for me was that it was based on Augusten Burroughs's personal memoirs. I almost turned off this movie a few times, but I stuck with it. It was kind of like one of those car wrecks you can't look away from.

Overall, I give Keeping Mum a thumbs up!

Employee of the Month

Alright. I watched this one and had very low expectations after the previous unable to watch movie. Employee of the Month was actually a cute little movie. It's not top 5 or top 50 for that matter, but it was cute and charming and clean-ish. I really liked the idea that how we treat our friends really matters. It was also fun to see Jessica Simpson with huge ears. Anyway, this was a fun movie and I give it a thumbs up.
