Movie Micro-Reviews: Edition 53

Nights in Rodanthe

66

Has all the key pieces of a romance, but is not quite what you expect. I like Diane Lane.

Star Wars

99

Simply the best.

Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back

99

The single best sequel ever. Tension, characters, surprises.

Perfect Getaway (A)

69

A good thriller with the beautiful scenery of Kuai.

Invention of Lying (The)

75

It’s a cool “what if?” and it worked so much better than I even expected. See it. Really.

Virtuality

40

Not fair. I thought this was a made-for-TV movie. It was a pilot! Interesting start, but completely unsatisfying as a story on its own, since it didn’t really resolve. If that’s OK with you, and you like SF, it might be worth a view, but truly, it’s not all that innovative.
