Dearest Readers,
I am sorry for my lengthy hiatus. I have been busy with school, theater, and other madness, but I should be back for good, now that summer has arrived. I promise to write a full review soon, but, for now, I will leave you with a few pithy one-line reviews of some recent films.
"Hanna"
A loopy genre pic with some fun action sequences. Lacks depth.
"The Conspirator"
Interesting historical thriller featuring a stand-out performance from Robin Wright. Last act fails to pack the expected emotional punch.
"Thor"
Average superhero pic marred by weak dialogue and tonal inconsistencies. Poor Natalie Portman.
"Meek's Cutoff".
A slow-moving, atmospheric western with a feminist twist. Expert pacing. Great performances all around. But perhaps a little dry.
