Gotta go back in time
Gil is a Hollywood screenwriter who is struggling to become a novelist. He takes a trip to Paris with his fiancée Inez and her family. One night on a midnight stroll, he inadvertently goes back in time to Paris of the 1920s where he meets Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and lots of other artists from that time period. This is a great film, which is to be expected from Woody Allen. The dialogue is sharp and laugh out loud funny. A great concept film and easily the best romantic comedy sci-fi film of 2011.

Hall Pass (2011)
Adolescent humor at its worst
A couple of married guys are given "hall passes" by their wives from marriage. They have an entire week away from their wives to do whatever they want. Hall Pass is the latest offering from the Farrelly Brothers, the team responsible for Dumb and Dumber, Shallow Hal, There's Something About Mary, and other slapstick comedies. The only reason I watched this is because I was at my in-laws for Xmas and they were watching it. About halfway through it, I started reading a book. Consisting mostly of crude jokes about sex and bodily functions, this film feels like it stole a few of my IQ points.
Slightly amusing, but mostly offensive, Hall Pass gets 1 out of 5 Poblanos!

Writer: Bobby Farrelly, Peter Farrelly, Pete Jones, Kevin Barnett
