Moveis Lately: Quick Notes
Seen a bunch of movies as usual lately so will catch up with some quick notes on some. The one that particularly led me to post was the romantic comedy The Tao of Steve which was both very funny and quite thoughtful at the same time. Highly recommended. ****1/2
Saw Murderball, Enron: the Smartest Guys in the Room, and The Aristocrats which were highly regarded (at least the first two) documentaries from last year and all were pretty good but I didn't enjoy them quite as much as they had been hyped, probably just a case of too high expectations. ***1/2 for Murerball, *** for Enron and The Aristocrats.
Lord of War was quite funny and a bit scary. A satirical but also serious at moments look at the black market in armaments around the world and the corruption and blind eyes that let it take place. ****
Thumbsucker was also definitely worth watching. ***1/2
On the not recommended list are 2046 which I just didn't get into at all and ended up fast-forwarding through much of and Saraband which had some quite good scenes but didn't overall keep to a high enough standard.
On the pretty good list, but not enough to actually reommend, and all at about 3 stars are Truman, Mostly Martha, Broken Flowers and Italian for Beginners.
