(500) Days of Summer (2009)Directed by: Marc Webb
Written by: Scott Neustadter + Michael H. Weber
Starring: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Zooey Deschanel, Geoffrey Arend, Chloe Moretz, Matthew Gray Gubler, Patricia Belcher, Clark Gregg
A plodding, routine story is saved by the two leads, who are great to watch, and an interesting non-linear structure. B
Julie & Julia (2009)Directed by: Nora Ephron
Written by: Julia Child, Alex Prud'homme; Julie Powell; Nora Ephron
Starring: Meryl Streep, Amy Adams, Stanley Tucci, Chris Messina, Linda Emond, Helen Carey, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Jane Lynch
This would have been so much better if it were only about Julia Child, instead of jumping back and forth between the 50's and the 00's. The storyline with Streep is really entertaining, and I would have liked to see more of it. B
Aisha Tyler Is Lit: Live At the Fillmore (2009)Directed by: Kerry Asmussen
Written by: Aisha Tyler
Starring: Aisha Tyler
Tyler is hilarious in this filmed performance in San Francisco. It's not as funny as one of Wanda Sykes or Kathy Griffin's numerous specials, but it's definitely up there. B+
