Swing Kids
– I’ve been learning to swing dance this summer, and I really loved a lot of the dance bits in this movie. The historical aspect is really interesting and pretty depressing. Parts of it (especially the very end) were kind of over-dramatic, but it’s a pretty good movie overall.
The Dark Knight – I had to cover my eyes. To the parents with the 8 and 10 year old behind you, what were you thinking? Batman and the Joker are both absolutely crazy. I left the movie feeling pretty terrible about the world. Which I think is what was supposed to happen. Gotham is a pretty terrible place.
Lars and the Real Girl – Absolutely wonderful. I’ve never seen a movie deal so well with the topic of mental illness. A little understanding can go a long way.
The Man Who Planted Trees – Very short, but very wonderful. More than a little idealistic. I kind of wanted to become a tree planting hermit after watching this, but decided that I couldn’t give up wearing cute shoes.
