Rated: R - Runtime: 85 min
tesg's Rating: Two and one half stars (out of four)
Typical dumb Will Ferrell comedy with at least a few laugh out loud stupid moments. That's about all I can ask of the guy, "Stranger than Fiction" aside.

The Bourne Legacy (2012)
Rated: PG13 - Runtime: 135 min
tesg's Rating: Two and one half stars (out of four)
It's fine, the two and a quarter hours go by quickly, and there's pretty much everything you'd expect.
Trouble is, nothing is unexpected. There's nothing new to this and the whole thing feels tired.
Did you know that every car in the Philippines is a Toyota? Me neither.

To Rome With Love (2012)
Rated: R - Runtime: 111 min
tesg's Rating: Three stars (out of four)
Allen's series of films where he drops relationship stories in scenic European locales continues with Rome. This time, it's a parts-bin series of relationship stories...some related, some not...that mostly dabble in unexpected celebrity.
There's lots of trademark Woody Allen absurdity like we haven't seen in years. Allen himself takes on a role for the first time in his last few projects. Alec Baldwin is a highlight as a character that essentially plays the subconscious of Jesse Eisenberg's character, even though all the characters surrounding him know that he's there and interact with him. Roberto Benigni gets an awesome role as an average guy who suddenly finds himself inexplicably famous for no reason.
Your mileage may vary based on how much you like each story. They're all ideas that, on their own, couldn't be hashed out into a feature. But I personally dug them all.
