Elizabethtown 2005
got sucked into this movie one Sunday morning on Showtime and LMAO. wow. what. huh??? at no point did anything make sense to me. cant think of two leads who had less chemistry than Bloom and Dunst. and actually any movie that wastes Kirsten Dunst should be ashamed. truly horrible movie that I couldn't stop watching. also fascinating tidbit I found, the phrase 'Manic Pixie Dream Girl' was coined by a movie critic in his review of this movie. idk a fun fact if you ever go to a very specific trivia night. I loved this movie.

The Rundown 2003
I like The Rock. I think in the right roles, The Rock can be charismatic, funny, and an engaging screen presence. I think The Rock is in mostly dumb movies (many of which I enjoy). HOWEVER, The Rundown is not only the best Rock movie by far, but also an all-time personal favorite of mine. LOVE this movie. it doesn't break any new ground on the buddy action comedy, but The Rock and Sean William Scott are really so good…
