Another story about a
teacher and her students – or at least one of them. But this time, it’s the teacher who needs
saving. I enjoyed this. Nothing special, but fun.

Hanna

The movie opens with Hanna,
a 16-year old girl, shooting a deer with an arrow. Soon, it turns into a spy/assassin
movie. Hanna is exceptional, and is
forced to adapt. Interesting action,
and a cool mystery. Worth seeing if
you like that sort of thing.

Horrible Bosses

This was essentially what I
thought it would be. The bosses were
funny, though horrible. It amused
me. That was enough.

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy

Very good acting, very tight
writing, and the directing was remarkable.
You cannot follow the story, nor figure out the mystery, without
WATCHING. The dialog is sparse, which
makes perfect sense with spies. So you
have to WATCH. Very good.

Prometheus

The first two thirds of this
movie was really good. Then, they
tried doing too many things, asked characters to behave without any clear
motivation. Very pretty. Interesting premise. And they ruined it.

That Thing You Do

Was this real? I mean, the subject of the movie – did it
happen? Well, it doesn’t really
matter. It was fun.

Cloud Atlas

I had low expectations, and
the film clearly exceeded them. I will
own this – I have to watch it a couple more times to tie some things
together. Long, but worth it.

The Ideas, Opinions and Musings of Steven T Will. My most frequent topics are movies, games and learning. Oh, and I like to share photos. But since I try to post most weekdays when I'm not on vacation, I delve into other things too: religion, words, news items, quotes. And then, on occasion, I post snippets and wisps. Welcome, and enjoy!
