children of men

Alfonso Cuaron - 2006

The second time I've seen this. Shocking, amazing, dystopian fantasy film. Loved it.

righteous kill

Jon Avnet - 2008

Wow. This was not good.

Oliver Stone - 2008

What was most disturbing about this movie was that Stone makes you root for Bush. Subversive. James Cromwell is absolutely disturbing as "41" and makes you really feel for "43". The character players were all very good, and Brolin is excellent as Bush.

It seems that one of Stone's hypotheses is that had Bush been able to just play baseball for a living, he never would have bothered to work so hard to become president. Fascinating.

Peter Berg - 2008

If Will Smith weren't so damn likable, this movie would really suck. Which is odd, because Peter Berg is pretty good, and Charlize Theron is absurdly attractive. But, it's pretty dumb.
