margot at the wedding i love noah baumbach's films. his characters are human, there aren't any hero's or heroines. he's got a pretty fresh style of film making, which ultimately leads to the audience hating the characters. in my opinion, it's because they aren't used to seeing characters portrayed this way. formulaic he's not. this is my second go round with margot. an exercise of unresolved petty familial differences which escalate, escalate, and then things sort of get resolved but not really. i wouldn't recommend this film, even though i think it's great. i just know people are probably going to hate it.

conviction i'll see anything with sam rockwell in it, my favorite actor. pretty tame and boring, inspiring with a cup of salt. a true story. a woman sets out on an 18 year journey to see her wrongfully convicted of murder brother set free. with all legal opportunites exhausted, she puts herself through law school whilst endangering her marriage and two young sons. maybe i'm just cold hearted.

atlas shrugged pt 1 read the book instead, it's f*cking awesome. if you've read the book and you're like me, you'll want to see it and won't complain about the sh!tty amateurish of the endeavor. the production is of the category straight to dvd, the acting was something out of b-movie outtakes, the characters left room to be desired, the cgi (i'll cut em some slack here) was laughable, and i can't wait for pt II. i could barely put the book down and was upset i had to finish it, so this will have to do.
