Never Let Me Go

While I am a big fan of science fiction in which there is little speculative technology (eg, Brazil), and while this story is set in a world almost precisely our own, it's really just a heartbreaking metaphor for the ways we treat one another.

Unthinkable

Ugly, unpleasant, unlikely, but not un-interesting.

Wall Steeet: Money Never Sleeps

It's hard not to like a movie that is ripped from the financial headlines, and uses the debate between crystalline silicon and thin film solar energy as a plot device, though the romance and family ties subplot is tacked-on nonsense.

How Do You Know versus The Backup Plan

The right way and the wrong way to build a romantic comedy:  Love your subjects and build in some tension in addition to the romantic machinations (How Do You Know), or get cynical and treat everything as a plastic backdrop (The Backup Plan).

Voyage of the Dawn Treader

I guess they blew the budget on the climactic battle on the volcanic island, which is impressive, since the escape from the Lone Islands looks like a made-for-SyFy movie.

44 Inch Chest

Feels like a poorly adapted stage play.

Secretariat

Not the story of a horse.

Fair Game

I went into it thinking "How many more movies do we need to see about Bush lying?" and it convinced that the answer is "at least this one more."

Piranha 2010

If this is a good example of the genre then the genre is in trouble.

Megamind vs. Despicable Me

Choose your savior:  romantic love or paternal love.  I enjoyed Megamind more.

Exit Through The Gift Shop

I'm Loving It!
