Seen off the Netflix queue and at ye olde cineplex

IN BETWEEN DAYS
We can review this movie in one word, actually: Mumblekorean
THE NAMESAKE
At once slow and too fast; feels like an outline
ACT OF VIOLENCE (1948)
Thought this would be better than A History of Violence...
MYSTERY STREET (1950)
Meaningless title (what street?), Montalbán lead, skull-and-mugshot freakout
MARGOT AT THE WEDDING
Loved the nightguard, the piece of skin left at theater.
THE DARJEELING LIMITED
What if they just did the whole thing in slo-mo?
THE GOLDEN COMPASS
Now I want to know what my "daemon" is. (Otter?)
HOTEL CHEVALIER
Were we supposed to watch this before or after Darjeeling?
KNOCKED UP
This movie seemed to last nine months! Blame DVD "extras."
OLD JOY
Manages to be humble yet not like anything else. Perfect.
