There Will Be Blood - R
|
|
Awesome performances by Daniel Day-Lewis and Paul Dano make this a dark and stirring drama about the greed and power two men display over oil and money and the utter loathing they have for one another. Paul Thomas Anderson lets you decide how to judge what you see and there are nuisances in these performances that beg for repeated viewing before making that decision.

I really want to like this more, but the one-dimensional characters really keep the tragedy from resonating

Charlie Wilson's War - R
|
|
This film doesn't quite know what it wants to be. A quirky historical yarn or a serious bio pic. There are numerous scenes where I wasn't sure if I should be laughing or not. Another Aaron Sorkin project that fails to really delve into the issues and their consequences because he's too busy writing witty dialogue. How is any of this supposed to be funny. Many of the people we're now fighting in the Middle East are the people we gave weapons to during the conflict in the film. When you really take that into account, does it really matter that this guy helped bring down the Soviet Union? Is it really important that we hear this story now, knowing what the consequences of his actions are?

I Am Legend - PG-13

The first two thirds of the movie are great. The last thirty minutes, however, really should have lasted an hour. It felt rushed and underdeveloped. I really thought, "that's it? It's over already?"

Just as goofy and ridiculous as the first. A cheap Indiana Jones knockoff.

Atonement - R
|

This film started out strong, but ultimately fell short of what it could have been. In trying to keep the layers of the novel, the complicated structure distracts and detracts from the characters. As such, its hard to really invest in them. This ultimately causes the ending to lack the emotional resonance it's meant to have. Aside from an absolutely masterful steadicam shot during the Dunkirk sequence, I wouldn't recommend it.
