And now, 3 reviews of not-so-recent movies.
The Tourist Rated: 4 /5 stars
This in many ways seems like a very old-fashioned movie: Movie Stars instead of Actors, Pretty European Architecture instead of Stunning CGI Effects, a Silly but Fun Fantasy Plot instead of Endless Machine-Gun Fire. I guess the reviews and box office show why they Don't Make Them Like This Any More, but still, it is well done for what it is, if you are in the mood for this sort of thing you will probably enjoy it.
Fair Game Rated: 4 / 5 stars
This movie really works as a political thriller. The one thing that kind of gets in the way of me enjoying this is that it is a true story, and I get mad and distracted thinking about how the scumbags who betrayed and defamed Wilson and Plame mostly got away with it. And there are still idiots running around repeating the lies as part of pretending the Iraq War was not a huge scam and a national disgrace.
The Adjustment Bureau Rated: 2 / 5 stars
This movie has only two kinds of scenes in it, both tedious.
Matt running away from Men in Hats, with or without Emily holding his hand.
Matt pretending to be a politician.
Two stars because of the automatic bonus star for pretending to base the film on a Philip K. Dick short story.
