Hanna

Disappointing. I expected more visual flair, less lolz. As it is, Saoirse Ronan IS this movie.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)

I wanted more, so much more. The only thing that justified this movie's existence for me was Rooney Mara's Lisbeth and, to be fair, the few details that the original changed from the book and this movie didn't. Including Lisbeth. I want to watch the next 2 movies for Fincher/Mara's Lisbeth and this came as a total surprise.

Super 8 (2011)

Couldn't shove off the thought that a full-length movie was pointless for what was basically an exercise in nostalgia. Boring too.

X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)

Watched as part of the "woot, Ellen Page!" exercise.

The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane (1976)

Woot, Jodie Foster!

Good movie.

I thought of "Hard Candy" more than a few times.

The poster reminds of Noir's Kirika.

The Fish Child (2009)

Not quite sure what to think about this. Some parts were great, some were... just not sure what the intent was. I can't remember another movie with such casual magical realism though, so that's a plus.

Definitely interested in Lucía Puenzo's collaboration with Inés Efron in XXY.

Those Who Kill (2011) (2011)

First DVD - Liget i skoven

Weak procedural, convenient twists, infuriating plot development in the second half.

Alone. Life Wastes Andy Hardy

Interesting, but some bits just dragged on for too long. The Judy Garland parts were great.

Lily and Jim (1997)

Brilliant simplicity. So, so awkward and funny and sad.

Juno (2007)

The script is fun and all, but Ellen Page IS this movie. Her performance makes up for the gross rose-tinted glasses idealization of the subject matter.

Satoshi Kon can do no wrong. The movie is worth rewatching after Black Swan for a few extra kicks.

Parallel Life (2010)

The plot was a mess. The editing was awful and only made the weaknesses of the plot more apparent. I still have no idea if this took place over a week or a month, but I also no longer care.
