a good 3-movie day!

SERENITY
*spoiler alert*

this was everything i was hoping it would be AND more! if youre a fan of the tv show then you won't be disappointed and if you are new to the franchise, then you'll be pleasantly surprized! i was very sad to see the death of TWO major characters, but then again, it doesn't really surprize me... joss whedon has never been afraid to kill off main characters to either advance the story line, or just to shake things up! :) 5 out of 5 stars!

OLIVER TWIST
the only versions of this that i know are the musical version "oliver!" and the disney animated film oliver and company, so i was very excited to see a straight forward version of this tale as i love both of those previous versions AND charles dickens' work in general. it was very faithful to the novel and overall i loved the whole story... though it could have been a tad bit shorter (it's 2hr 20min long!) i never really felt as if i was needing to look at my watch! :) 4 out of 5 stars!

FLIGHTPLAN
enjoyable for what it was, which is an edge of your seat, is-she-or-isn't-she-crazy, what the hell is going on! thriller :) most of the time we are just watching jodie get all mad and demand to know where her kid is and for much of the film i felt like i was watching panic room 2: panic in the air! but if you just go into it with no expectations and a need for mindless entertainment, then you should be able to have fun! :) WAIT FOR VIDEO!! 3 out of 5 stars! :)
