Went and saw a couple of flicks in the theatres over the last couple:
"The Orphanage" - B - A spanish production that basically is a bloodless and almost goreless ghost story revolving around a family taking over an old orphanage. There are side stories here but essentially the film is a testament to the power of a mother's love.
"The Bruges" - B - Tough, slick, funny and crazy, this film about a less than lucky Irish hit man had me howling. Not a pure comedy by any stretch of the imagination, but full of ridiculous moments that'll have you chuckling and laughing despite the bloody nature of the criminals and hitmen. I loved it.
"Jumper" - C-minus - Shame they couldn't do anything more original with this concept then this. Sigh, idiotic and predictable within an inch of it's life. Samuel L. Jackson actually does some acting in this one, thie only thing I like about the whole production.
"John Adams" - B - This HBO mini-series is a very intelligent telling of the birth of this nation as seen through the eyes of one it's founding fathers. But its more than just John Adams, it's his wife, his kids, and the whole scary idea of declaring yourself both independent of and at war with, the greatest power on earth at the time Great Britain. Good stuff this.
