Hugo (2011)
Director - Martin Scorsese
PG; 126 Min
Cast
Hugo Cabret - Asa Butterfield
Isabelle - Chloe Grace Moretz
Station Inspector - Sacha Baron Cohen
George Melies - Ben Kinglsey
I'll keep this extremely brief - See this film and don't hesitate. Without a doubt one of the best of the year, Martin Scorsese delves deep into both personal love of film and the history itself, creating both a magical piece about early 20th century Paris and a children's adventure. Shot specifically for 3D, this film is getting much praise for amazing use of the technology, but I detest 3D so I viewed it in regular 2D and loved it every step of the way. Choose whichever way you want, you will love the entire 2 hours of this drama, comedy, fable, based-on-true people, historical and beautiful piece.

J. Edgar (2011)
Director - Clint Eastwood
R; 137 Min
Cast
J. Edgar Hoover - Leonardo DiCaprio
Lots of other people
See the shitty makeup trying to create an older J. Edgar Hoover out of Leonardo DiCaprio? Well, the movie is 10x shittier. I can't say enough about how much I disliked this movie. I walked out with 45 minutes left. I've only done that 3 times in my life. I don't care if it was Leo directed by Eastwood. I was bored. I didn't care. It sucked.

Friends With Benefits (2011)
Director - Will Gluck
R; 109 Min
Cast
Mila Kunis - Jamie
Justin Timberlake - Dylan
There was a plot? Mila Kunis is so unbelievably hot I was able to block out the dialogue and enjoy the view. And don't tell me you don't like skinny chicks like Mila. I'll call you names that could get me kicked out of a political race. Like No Strings Attached earlier this year with Kutcher and Portman, it is watchable on a terribly base level.
