They both intrigue me. Even with the unfavorable reviews.

I read they're making Men in Black 3 in 3D. This way you can feel like you're actually in a crappy movie.

I just watched Departures, the winner of the 08/09 Oscar for Best Foreign Film, again. I hadn't seen it since it played at the Tivoli in KC over a year ago. What a superb film. It is nearly flawless. You owe it to yourself to see this film. It is streaming in HD through Netflix.
I find it interesting that the two best films that I saw in 2009 were Japanese films (Still Walking and Departures). |

I had very low expectations for Legion and it exceeded them. Not a great movie, but enough good action to be a decent investment of time.

The best scenes were definitely in the trailer so avoid the trailer if you haven't already seen it.

I just watched Bronson. I can't recommend it. While Tom Hardy gives a physical, engrossing lead performance the film itself is sloppy, boring and inconsequential.

I also got around to The Book of Eli finally and was fairly disappointed. It had a couple of cool action scenes but they not only seemed out of place with the rest of the movie they didn't even seem to go with each other. The fight at the house toward the end specifically. Just was a messy waste IMHO.

I saw "The Secret in Their Eyes" last night and it was really excellent. Easily among the top I have seen of the 2009 crop. It seems like it might be a typical murder mystery but the layers to the story and great performances just work.
An aside - the damn indy theaters around here are now $10 despite their very aging equipment and smallish screens. Guess I should just be happy that stuff like this is available but still irritating at the same time. |
