I've decided to start doing my reviews here since my almost-ten-year-old PHP database is getting quite old and creaky. (Not sure how best to migrate those reviews out of there, but that's neither here nor there.)
Saw Charlie Wilson's War in the theater last night and enjoyed it quite a bit. Not quite up to the level that I enjoyed Juno or Michael Clayton, but it was very well written (by West Wing creator Aaron Sorkin) and well-acted, particularly by Philip Seymour Hoffman, who deserved his Oscar nomination for his portrayal of a cranky CIA operative. Watching the movie, you wonder how many times the U.S. will have to repeat history. Ugh.
Also finished up Sunshine on DVD. Danny Boyle branches out and makes a good sci-fi flick. Not fantastic, but pretty darn good. A little 2001, a little Solaris, a little 28 Days Later... altogether an interesting mix. Interesting mix of actors too, particularly seeing Michelle Yeoh not being typecast as a kung-fu chick. It made me wish that that other fanboy favorite, Quentin Tarantino, would hurry up and branch out as well. Time's a wastin'...
