80 The Bodyguard (1992) - Sep 11, 2011
Mini-Review: Embarassingly loved it when I was a teenager, can't escape it. A bit shlocky but sweet and well paced. Whitney Houston was such a gorgeous talented force in the entertainment world. I wish her well.
70 27 Dresses (2008) - Sep 11, 2011
Mini-Review: Entertaining for 24 carat shlock. One hilarious scene of them dancing drunk, but otherwise absolutely canned. Entertaining, though.
85 Far and Away (1992) - Sep 11, 2011
Mini-Review: Pure tongue in cheek entertainment about the Irish American pioneer experience. Cliche but loveable, and Cruise and Kidman shine at a moment when they seemed in love and in psynch. Endearing and funny/heartwarming. Good times.
80 Atonement (2007) - Sep 11, 2011
Mini-Review: This book is so phenomenal that even though the film is a bit flat, the sheer power of the story makes it worth watching. Disturbing, intense, a story of class struggle and betrayal in WW2 Britain. Great acting all around. Very sad.
95 The Reader (2008) - Sep 11, 2011
Mini-Review: Phenomenal. As good as the book. Literary and superb. A disturbing connection between a much older woman and a very young teenager (13-15, I don't know, young enough that if the genders were reversed it would be pedophilia). Deals with important issues of guilt and forgiveness of the Nazi legacy in germany, the loss of youth, and the power of literature.
45 Shallow Hal (2001) - Sep 11, 2011
Mini-Review: Shlocky gross out humor. Has the Holywood fast food appeal, but any opportunity to probe the interesting issue of inner beauty is lost.
10 Wimbledon (2004) - Sep 11, 2011
Mini-Review: shlocky, poorly written, selfish characters, uninteresting.
90 Chungking Express (1994) - Sep 11, 2011
Mini-Review: Quirky, fun, well made. Artsy "foreign" film that is very accessible and engaging in an eccentric way.
10 Just Married (2003) - Sep 11, 2011
Mini-Review: unwatchably stupid.
75 Dear John (2010) - Sep 11, 2011
Mini-Review: Entertaining although flat and cliche. Sad and poignant, but a relatively smart love story. Romantic, but unnecessarily suffering and not funny or interesting enough to move it into the 80s grade range.
