If not for the prancing about of the cute Emily Blunt and the irrepresible Bill Nighy this craptastic not-really a romcom might just put you to sleep.

Oh wait.

First I became vegetarian. Then I started reading up on health, fitness, green (pertinent/related) issues. Then I began watching this type of documentary. I am sometimes scared, mostly angry, and so, so ready to resume activism. Someone once said: If you’re not an activist, you’re an inactivist. Some things matter. Some things matter a lot. Watching The Future of Food (and Food Inc. and related docs) might spark the same feelings in you.

Dark, stylish, surprisingly good. Lot of familiar faces from British tv+movies, granted, it’s a Brit flick – but you know what I mean. Have yourself a gangster marathon some night: Make sure Harry Brown, Snow Cake, Gangster N.1’s in there, and then this one.

I’m not exactly sure why, but something about BBC’s Human Planet makes me very emotional.

Multi-layered Greed and Lies on a massive, globe-altering scale perpetrated by soulless, vile, unrepentant persons in positions of power and influence wreck the economies, industries, and ultimately, the lives of millions of common, everyday people.

This isn’t the big bang action-packed thrill a minute blockbuster of the summer. The destruction of the world’s economy as we know it took years, and the effects thereof will be felt by our generation and (possibly, even) by generations to come. This is something that really happened. We can only hope that we wake up someday and put measures into place that will and can prevent horrors of this magnitude from ever happening again.

Great NYC scenery alone does not make a great movie. The Resident could’ve been a lot better. :(

Is there any role Colin Firth can’t portray? Kudos for a truly award-winning performance!

Boring, derivative, uneven drama+action flick starring the ex-wrestler known as The Rock. Other comedy/action/etc features have shown that he can somewhat act, but that’s not this one. Billy Bob and Carla Gugino lend a hand in trying to make it work, but the movie falters. Interesting characters and a solid plot may have made a difference, but did not. Faster is ambitious, but fails to get there. So much for that strong start.

Middle Men (based on a true story) plays out as a wry comedy-drama rife with weirdos, perverts, junkies, porno stars, bent lawyers, mobsters and to balance it all out – a hardworking straight as an arrow family man. Not as bad as I thought it would be, the film makes an okay matinee. The history of internet porn angle is interesting, even if it is oversimplified. You don’t want a history lesson, you want entertainment.

Another example of excellent lighting + mood. (Nikita tv series.)
