The Constant Gardener - R
|
|
The ambitious and daring story about corruption, conspiracy and drugs works surprisingly well as a smart thriller, a strong political statement and a stirring love story.

Excellent, very memorable. A tragic, surreal and poignant crime thriller mixed with sharp, dark humour.

Clichéd but decent enough entertainment if you have nothing else to do. Ben Foster is always great.

Michael Jackson's This Is It - PG

Five stars just for MJ's singing. Unbelievable! Other-wordly! If you appreciate good music and true artistry, you have to see this. This is a rare opportunity to see the master in his element.

Panj é asr (At Five in the Afternoon) - Unrated
|
|
Iranian director Samira Makhmalbaf dives into post-Taliban Afghanistan and tells a tale of Noqreh, a young woman struggling to redefine her role as a woman despite the protestations of her conservative father. The issues are interesting and the cinematography is pretty stunning, but unfortunately the film itself is mostly boring and too slow-paced.

Ben Affleck proves that he's a better director than actor. :p The cast does an excellent job, especially Casey Affleck. The ethical dilemmas are interesting but the plot is a bit far fetched.
