Two of the recent sci-fi movies which were more mainstream than the typical SFX fare of the summer. Worth seeing. Plus a documentary (I know -- unusual for us.)
Food Inc. | 71 | This explains the precarious nature of our food supply, in the days of mega-slaughterhouses, the ownership of the poultry industry by a few mega corporations, and the laws which have allowed Monsanto to own 80% of the soy beans in the US. Organic looks pretty good to me now. |
Adjustment Bureau (The) | 77 | Very interesting concept, and carried through well, too. Not “exciting” but raises good questions. I like how Matt Damon is willing to work on challenging topics. |
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 | 95 | A spectacular, action-packed, moving end to a brilliant series. Bravo! |
Footloose | 74 | Shows its age, but it’s still a fun coming-of-age show. Lithgow’s character is great, and he’s so good at it. |
Company Men | 62 | This is scary movie for a white collar worker in today’s economy. The business world is all about pleasing investors, and nothing about the people who make the companies truly valuable. |
Bounty Hunter | 54 | OK, so they made the ex-wife (Jennifer Aniston) have an interesting story, but still, this was so predictable once you know that. |
Source Code | 82 | I liked this. A lot. Cool concepts. Good surprises. Sci-fi done well – as drama -- with very few special effects needed. |
