Breakfast at Tiffany's

This is utterly charming & endearing, but somehow I just couldn't really connect with it. 3.5/5

It Was A Wonderful Life

This documentary about the hidden homeless is very haunting, albeit a bit preachy. So tragic! 3/5

The Switch

I know, sue me, but I actually really liked this, especially Thomas Robinson as the son. Sweet & charming. 4/5

Persona

Bergman did this so much better in The Silence - the hallucination sequences ruin the plot's flow. Disappointing. On the other hand, this *is* the 1st Bergman I've rated under 3 stars, so that's really saying something, huh? ;) 2.5/5

Persona on Netflix

The Tourist

Ridiculously predictable & Depp is so boring I nearly fell asleep. When did Johnny get so dreary? Ugh. 2/5

I Love You Phillip Morris

This is Jim Carrey's bravest & most brilliant performance to date - amazing script, amazing film. 5/5

Watership Down

This is an amazingly powerful albeit tremendously disturbing film. Very profound & affecting - brilliant. 5/5

Rabbit Hole

I believed Eckhart. I didn't believe Kidman - therefore, this suffered. Surprisingly average - I expected more. 3/5

Bob the Butler

I *REALLY* thought I would hate this, but it's surprisingly funny, charming & sweet, albeit predictable. 3/5

The Magician

Though lushly directed & beautifully acted, Bergman lost the plot with too many metaphors in this early film. 3.5/5

The Magician on Netflix

Heckler

This documentary, while making the mistake of lumping heckling & critiquing together, still is quite funny & on point. 3/5

The Interview

This well-acted psych thriller has an endlessly twisting & intriguing plot but also an unsatisfying ending. 3.5/5

The Interview on Netflix

The Bicycle Thief

This powerful film chronicles the poverty & despair in post-war Italy. Desperate, emotional, & tragic. 4/5

Away From Her

Sarah Polley writes & directs an emotional tale about Alzheimer's - Julie Christie is astonishing. Well done. 3.5/5

To Sir, With Love

This is an incredibly touching film but its lack of realism started to get to me. It didn't do it for me. 3/5

Unstoppable

Tony Scott does it yet again with this thoroughly engaging action thriller. Well shot & acted - engrossing. 4/5

Unstoppable on Netflix

Wild Target

This was a perfectly good comedic action flick, but with this cast it should have been stellar. Just okay for me. 3/5

Wild Target on Netflix

Heartbreaker

Funny? Sure. Charming? Maybe. Endearing? Nope. Just more people behaving badly to each other. Don't get it. 3/5

Heartbreaker on Netflix

Aileen: Life & Death of a Serial Killer

This second documentary by Broomfield is very subjective but still fascinating. 3.5/5

Jesus that was just gutting to watch! Powerfully tragic - some of the best acting I've ever seen. Brilliant. 5/5

Made in Dagenham

This wonderfully acted drama sheds light on the equal pay movement in Britain in '68. Well done. 3.5/5

The Virgin Spring

This rich, dark, poignant film is absolutely stunning & brilliantly directed. I'm just blown away by this. Who knew that "Last House on the Left" was Bergman's first? And WAAAY better, I might add? So profound - I still have chills. 5/5

The Virgin Spring by Netflix

A Marine Story

A thoroughly heartfelt & sensitive portrait of what hopefully will never be again in the military. Well done. 3.5/5

A Marine Story on Netflix

Love and Other Drugs

What's this? A rom-com that's funny & sweet with likable characters who don't hurt each other? Amazing! 4/5

Capturing the Friedmans

This is a gut-wrenching film that really challenges you to examine the heinous & search for the truth. 4/5
