| Solyaris (Solaris) - Unrated | As a Stanislaw Lem fan, I had to give this version of the movie a go. Sadly, it only made me realise that I can recall very little of the remake. Apparently Lem hated this movie as he never intended the book to be "all about people's emotional issues". This movie is very similar to '2001: A Space Odyssey' in that it's extremely slow moving. There are beautiful moments throughout, both in poetry and scenes, but many will never see them for what they are just because the movie has bored them. It's very difficult to sit through, not matter how much you want to see it. | December 14, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Four Christmases - PG-13 | I only watched this movie as it was 4am on an international flight and I'd been awake for more than 24 hours. It fit my mindset fairly well and didn't leave me thinking much at all. I even laughed out loud once. A silly film which makes you feel a little better about your own life in comparison. | December 9, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Gone Baby Gone - R | This was a very gritty, realistic crime/detective movie. You always know there's more to know, but aren't always quite prepared for the turns as they come up. The filming style is engaging and believable. In the end, the story is really quite harsh and leaves you thinking about what you'd do in that situation. | December 9, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Beyond a Reasonable Doubt - PG-13 | For an in-flight movie, this wasn't the worst thing to spend a few hours watching. | December 9, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - PG |
I'm not sure if it was the fact that I saw it in French (with no subtitles) or not, but this one was lacking somewhat. Update: Have now seen it in English and have to concur that it is rather lacking. No energy. |

| The Squid and the Whale - R | Hmm. So, I watched this without sound while crapping on to an old friend, but I still don't think I would have enjoyed it much more if I'd paid more attention. | December 9, 2009 | N/A | |||
| The Queen - PG-13 | It was okay, I guess. Not mindblowing. Certainly would be more interesting if you care what the royals are up to. | November 29, 2009 | N/A | |||
| XXX - PG-13 | That was one very silly action flick. You'd be hard pressed not to at least enjoy it a little bit. The opening sequence is great! | November 20, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Be Cool - PG-13 | It's good for a giggle. | November 18, 2009 | N/A | |||
| The End of Suburbia: Oil Depletion and the Collapse of the American Dream - Unrated | This movie made me re-think everything. A lot is going to change real soon. Most people aren't ready for it. | November 12, 2009 | N/A | |||
| All the Invisible Children - Unrated |
I just don't know what to say. This movie was (aside from a few obvious moments) so real that it made your heart bleed. It made you grip tightly to anything nearby and hope that things would get better for these kids. But you knew it never would. Oh yes, it's beautiful to watch the kids pulling together and making the best of it. But nothing detracts from the sheer horror of their lives. How can we fix this? How? |
