Had to go see some movies, to catch-up for the awards season. Gotta have an opinion after all. Recent viewings noted below.
A Serious Man: If you are unfamiliar with life in a Jewish household you might miss some of the bits, but go anyway.
Julie & Julia: I was constantly aggravated by the designer’s overdone efforts to make Meryl Streep (5’6″) look like Julia Child (6’2″). Constantly.
The Blind Side: Surprisingly, sweet without being too sticky, and a career maker for the little kid brother.
The Hurt Locker: My Best-Movie-Of-The-Year so far…except maybe for the Michael Jackson movie which was entirely FAB.
Avatar: I am Not the only person on the planet who found this, basically, not very good. You can google salon.com avatar review and read what Stephanie Zacharek has to say. What she says, that’s what I think too. (Spoiler Alert! White man goes native, marries the princess and becomes their leader.)
