Welcome to Reel Reviews. This is not your regular movie review site because I am not your average movie critic. I am a fan of movies, not a critic. I love all types of movies: comedies, action, drama, romantic, horror, etc. I am not here to make myself look good by running down good old fashion enjoyable popcorn flicks that always seem to be bashed by critics. I am here to let you know how the movies I see truly stack up to expectations and if they are worth your $10.

Films opening this week are The Proposal and Year One.

The Proposal is a romantic comedy starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. Sandra Bullock is a business executive who finds out she is about to lose her job and be deported to Canada unexpectedly. Ryan Reynolds plays her assistant, and her solution. Sandra comes up with the idea to tell her bosses, that she is set to marry her assistant after keeping their love a secret from everyone (including Ryan). This marriage would then allow her to legally to stay in the country. The story follows their journey to visit his family (who are well aware of his disdain of his boss) and their road from a pretend love to a budding romance.

Year One stars Jack Black and Michael Cera in a comedy set around the banishment of two hunter-gathers from their clan, and their strange journey through the ancient world. The two outcast meet some of historical characters along the way, and in the end try to save those who banished them from their clan in the first place.
