Blindness (Movie Tie-In)

by Jose Saramago

It took a long time to finish this one. It was a battle of wills (me vs. the book). But I got through it. Some really horrible stuff, but probably because you can imagine if the world went suddenly blind that the book’s events wouldn’t be far from what would actually happen.

Cold Souls [Theatrical Release]

by Sophie Barthes

This film was like a cross between Being John Malkovich and The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Raised a lot of interesting questions, but didn’t seem interested in really exploring any of them.

Also made me wonder if the film was in some way making a comment about pharmaceutical drug use.

A bit on the slow side. Full of great, absurd moments.

My Dinner with Andre - Criterion Collection

by Louis Malle

You have to be patient with this one. The dialogue doesn’t really get started until about halfway through the film. It’s cerebral and engaging. Philosophical without being academic.

I would suggest watching this with someone else-or even a group-because I would have loved to discuss some of the ideas in the film after it was over.

Cache (Hidden)

by Michael Haneke

I’d recommend this film for those who don’t need a neat and tidy ending. I was mesmerized, but my husband was hardly impressed. One of those you-either-love-it-or-hate-it films.

The director said that at its core the film is about guilt and coldness. But it’s a film about the nature of reality as well.

Adventureland (Ws Dub Sub Ac3 Dol)

by Greg Mottola

Thought this would be a lot more funny than it was, but then lately previews seem to just mislead us.

The funny parts were really, really funny when they were there. Would rather have seen someone else as the female lead. And the movie could have been edited as it drag at points, but still a better-than-average coming of age tale.
