Bad Teacher (2011)

Not too bad. Script was a bit lazy, but the main gist of this for me was the anti-estab jibes and Cam Diaz.

Incendies (2010)

I am sure my lack of familiarity with history probably limited my appreciation for this, so as an outsider, I can only say this about the film: I don't get the mother's motivation for wanting her children to know the truth, other than as a narrative device to allow the story to unravel. But this is just a nitpick. This is a potent film about human nature. Nicely told for the most part, and worth a watch.

Cowboys & Aliens (2011)

A bit too shallow and mashed up without clear focus for my liking. Daniel Craig does what he does best, but there's little else in this show to go wow over. In fact, it was even a little bit boring at times.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011)

Not bad. Casear is the true lead of the show. All the others are just supporting players nicely fleshed out by fine performances.

Old Places (2010)

Originally conceived as 3 separate episodes for TV, I caught all 3 eps in 1 long stretch during Causeway EXchange - the filmmakers are clearly nostalgic for some of these old places, but for me, watching them back to back in a long (random) series became tiring and I found myself looking at my watch about an hour into the show.

Horrible Bosses (2011)

Not too bad. Kevin Spacey and Jamie Foxx steal the show whenever they appear. Especially love the story of how Jamie Foxx's character got his name. LOL!
