Thoughts: Juliette Binoche and Daniel Auteuil were great; however I can not say the same for the rest of the movie. It was slow-paced and a bit uninteresting.
(M) Sunshine. (Danny Boyle, 2007) Grade: B-
Thoughts: The sun is dying and a team of astronauts are sent to restart it by setting off a bomb. The movie started off pretty good but then becomes a bit of a mess towards the end. The cast was mixed with good (Cliff Curtis and Michelle Yeoh) and not-so-good (Chris Evans and Troy Garity) actors.
(M) Darkon. (Luke Meyer and Andrew Neel, 2006) Grade: C
Thoughts: A documentary about LARP-ers (live action role playing) in the universe called Darkon. I wish they had spent more time on the personal lives of the people and less on the Darkon storyline but oh well.
(M) Kate & Leopold. (James Mangold, 2001) Grade: C
Thoughts: Leopold (Hugh Jackman) travels to present time by a freak accident and meets Kate McKay (Meg Ryan) and they fall in love. I would have enjoyed it more but there were too many time travel scientific issues with it especially at the end. Hugh Jackman was great in the movie and Meg Ryan was cute but she has aged a bit. Oh and there was a random Breckin Meyer appearance.
(M) Return to Me. (Bonnie Hunt, 2000) Grade: C+
Thoughts: Bob Rueland (David Duchovny) loses his wife in a car accident. On that same night, Grace Briggs (Minnie Driver) lives due to a heart transplant, the heart of Bob’s wife. The story plot was pretty unbelievable but I did like Bonnie Hunt’s script and the entire cast was good. Unfortunately, there was zero chemistry between David and Minnie.
(M) Valley Girl. (Martha Coolidge, 1983) Grade: A-
Thoughts: Julie (Deborah Foreman), a girl from the Valley, meets Randy (Nicolas Cage), a punk from Hollywood and they fall in love. It was cheesy and lame and totally dated and yet I loved it and ate it up. Nicolas Cage was cute in an odd way back in the day.
Movie Count: 21
