Featured:
A divorced writer returns home to reclaim her high school boyfriend who is now happily marriage and a new father. YA is just a solid film all around- good writing, good acting and good direction. Charlize Theron was great as a 37 year old still stuck in her high school days; and just when you think the movie is going to be another coming-of-age story (despite her age) it takes a refreshing turn.
The Rest:
Four Rooms (1995)- 5/10- Four stories from four different directors all involving a bell hop (Tim Roth) on New Year's Eve. No surprise Rodriguez and Taratino delivered the most entertaining stories.
The Factory (2011)- 5/10- Wasn't exactly what I was expecting in the end, but a decent find. Cusack is good enough as a police officer tracking a serial killer.
Batman: Year One (2011)- 4/10- Animated comic movies don't do it for me. The story was there, but was packed into just over an hour, not giving things time to develop.
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1997)- 4/10- One of two 20,000 Leagues movies released in 1997, this one has Ben Cross playing Captain Nemo. I like the story, but the movie never clicks.
