I've fallen behind in my movie reviews.

Seen 2 in the last 2 days:

1. Gran Torino (Krikorian, yesterday)
Definitely good. But not overwhelmingly good. Not even "slightly watery eyes" good. I just enjoyed it, and was surprised by the large amount of humor in this fairly intense film. Granted, most of the humor comes from laughing at Eastwood's blatantly racist comments, but hey, it's definitely better than nothing. I also really liked that this movie seemed quite realistic in the way that Clint Eastwood's character doesn't change into a saint overnight.


2. Wendy and Lucy (Academy, today)
Saw this for $2, and I hate to say it, but I'm kind of glad that's all I paid. I definitely was glad to have seen this film, but, as I was prepared for, nothing really happens. So you kind of just have to sit back and be patient. It kind of feels like you're in the movie with Michelle Williams as she's trying to find her dog, Lucy. But towards the end, I couldn't help sobbing a little. And I did feel like I could relate to Wendy (Williams) a lot, just in the way that single young women can be treated by society (not that we are necessarily wronged, but just that people do sometimes have a certain way of judging us).
