ROCK OF AGES * RUBY SPARKS

Rock of Ages - For some reason I was under the impression that this was going to be a comedy, but it's actually a musical based on a Broadway play, and it's charming.  A small town girl comes to Hollywood to find fame and fortune, meets a city boy, and together they experience real life.  The music is 1980s rock and roll, the acting is great, and the surprise character actors make the show. 

Ruby Sparks - Ruby Sparks is intelligent, quirky and filled with this wonderful California light that gives the movie an etherial feel.  It's about a young writer and the unusual girl he's dating.  It's not your every day love story;  you've got to pay attention to the little things.  I loved it.
