I loved both the British and American versions of The Office. I thought that they captured a different mode - While David Brent is totally incompetent and the British version is SUPER uncomfortable, I think the American version is less cynical and more sappy - But in a good way that worked for me.


Both Butter and Young Adult are available - Just reviewed them in the Last Seen Thread:


Butter (2011)





Second-time viewing and I loved it even more this time around. I love the characters, I love the actors - Everyone is simply brilliant and this movie turns well on sweet moments to dirty humor. Olivia Wilde is simply STUNNING and a scene-stealer, Jennifer Garner is brilliant, and Rob Corddry is really charming. I love this little movie. Definitely recommended.

4.5/5

Young Adult (2011)





This was my second time watching this movie and I loved it even more. I think it's a sad but honest and accurate portrayal of a woman going through a midlife crisis. Well-written and brilliantly acted, Charlize Theron is incredible to watch as her character just implodes. And Patton Oswalt is really sympathetic and charming. Definitely recommended as a good, solid character drama.


4.75/5
