3 Movies

[lurkerwithout]

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel: Sure, theres more than a bit of Watch White People Experience and Validate Indian Culture. But its some top quality actors doing that validating. A charming movie really despite its baggage...

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Slayer: There are times when the movie actually manages to maintain the awesome implied by the high concept. Then its generally brought crashing down by its ridiculous story and at times overdone f/x sequences. The battle atop a stampeding herd of horses is especially groan worthy...

Brave: Honestly kind of mid-range by Pixar standards. Which puts it pretty high up by general movie standards. The scenes with the marauding bear are especially effective...

The first two are on my "to watch" list, I was expecting campy for Vampire Slayer, but I think I'll enjoy them tremendously nonetheless. I liked Brave, but as I'm a Pixar fan, I'm hard to disappoint, loved the brothers, and the fight sequences.
