So I am a little behind and I thought I would share some simple thoughts about some movies out there and being discussed.
Black Swan - A well acted film but unfortunately, the script and direction is unclear and unfocussed. I agree with a critic that said that said the best thing about the film might be the casting.
Social Network - I will choose my words carefully. The Social Network is a very well made movie.
Little Fockers - Bad. Another attempt to make money and squeeze unclever jokes about Focker this and Focker that.
Tron - Great visuals and decent action but the film had less plot that a cup of soup. Even a cameo from Daft Punk could not save this movie for me.
True Grit - Well acted but the film doesn't build upon or reconstruct the classic western. In the end, the movie says little and does less.
The Tourist - I never saw it but while discussing the film with a friend who had seen the picture, I was able to predict major plot points and the ending. Sometimes the best movies are the ones you don't waste your time on.
The King's Speech - The film is more funny than I thought it would be. A well made movie that showcases great acting, a simple study on the crippling effect of fear and the satisfaction of overcoming that fear.
