I have been wanting to see this movie for a while and I'm so glad I did. I loved it! This movie stars Justin Timberlake as Will Salas, a man living in the future where everyone stops aging at 25. So, time is currency, with the poor having only enough hours in a day and the rich living forever. After saving a mysterious, wealthy stranger (Matthew Bomer), the man gives Will all of his time, 116 years. Tired of living, the man "times out", leaving Will with more money than he knows what to do with. After his mother (Olivia Wilde) dies without time, Will starts gambling at an expensive casino, where he meets Philippe Weis (Vincent Kartheiser), a man with more than a million years. He also meets Sylvia Weis (Seyfried), his daughter. At a party, head timekeeper Raymond Leon (Murphy) catches up with him, forcing him to take Sylvia hostage. Also on their tail are time thieves called Minutemen, led by a man named Fortis (Alex Pettyfer). As Will and Sylvia avoid everyone after them, they also start to realize that no one should die when other people never have to.

Alias...White Collar....and Matthew Bomer :)

The show Alias rocks...I love to watch it. Sydney Bristow has to be like the coolest person ever. She can kick any guys butt...no matter how much bigger he is. And Will Tippin is amazing. So is Michael Vaughn...why does she get two guys that awesome and I get none?!?! It's not fair...

I also love the show White Collar. But, Matthew Bomer is in it, so no wonder I love it. He has got to be the hottest guy ever. And he's a great actor...loved him in Traveler...loved him in Chuck...now really, really love him in White Collar. Yeah...it's awesome.

Just finished: Unaccompanied Minors
Watching now: Operation: Stormbreaker
Excited to see: Valentine's Day :D

Movie Review: Catch Me If You Can

Catch Me If You Can (2002)
Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks
Characters: Frank Abagnale Jr. and Carl Hanratty
Directed by: Steven Spielberg
Tagline: The true story of a real fake
Grade: A+

I love movies starring Leonardo DiCaprio. (As if someone couldn't tell.) He's a great actor and he's gorgeous (not everything, but it always helps). So, of course I loved this movie. And also, Amy Adams was in it and, like I said, I'm one of her biggest fans. Tom Hanks is pretty cool, too. (Anyone associated with Band of Brothers and/or Damien Lewis is automatically cool in my book.) The movie is the true story of Frank Abagnale Jr., who, after his parents get divorced, becomes a con man. He becomes one of the best and most famous con men of all time, impersonating a PanAm pilot, a doctor, and a lawyer...he even passed the bar exam after studying for only two weeks. Carl Hanratty is the FBI agent that chases after him for years. I really like this movie because, not only is the acting good and the story well written (even if it was a true story, someone still has to write it, right?), but it's also really fun. If you want a modern retelling (kind of), check out USA Network's White Collar. (which also stars Matthew Bomer...making it an automatic win...look at that, bringing up Damien Lewis and Matthew Bomer in the same post...that's a win too.)
