One sentence reviews

This is 40
Not nearly as funny as knocked up, lots of swearing, Melissa McCarthy steals the show for the few minutes she's in it.

Les Miserable
Definitely over-the-top dramatic, but musicals should be! A little embarrassed for Russell Crow, but the rest of the cast was great, and it's been awhile since I've seen a musical where every single word was sung!

Zero Dark Forty
The first half kind of drags on, but the second half is super-tense even though you know how it ends.

Looper
Don't question the time travel logic, and this is a really great story!

The Dark Knight Rises
Definitely dark, but a great ending to Nolan's take on the bat man, loved the ending.

Seven Psychopaths
This was a surprise for me, what a fantastic dark comedy!

Here Comes the Boom
Silly and not so believable and a weird food-fight scene, but Henry Winkler is adorable. 

Flight
Drags a bit, but it was definitely a more weighty movie than I thought it would be, it seems like a good examination into alcoholism.
