The movie starts out with a detailed history of his life as an adult. But surprisingly throughout the whole movie‚ he (Edward Norton) never once stated his name. He was the narrator telling his story. Then I tend to notice that he‚ “the narrator” mainly focused on self-talk and also dealing with his insomnia

I found the movie Kinsey to be both true to his work and to the essence of this dedicated man. Besides being highly entertaining‚ it was very relevant today to an audience which had no idea who Alfred Kinsey was or how his work had impacted their lives. Anyone who sees this movie will get to experience first hand how ignorant and misinformed people were about sex when Kinsey began studying human sexuality. Examples of this were the stated belief that performance of oral sex would reduce a woman’s

Bridesmaids is a terrifically funny‚ smart‚ and emotional ensemble comedy. Some may say it’s the female version of The Hangover‚ while others may think it’s quite similar to Bride Wars. This movie pulls off the amazingly uncanny trick of being both brutal and gentle at the same time. I highly recommend this movie to all audiences over the age of 17.
