Fantastic. So simple, so small, but kinda perfect. And very on point with the current economic situation.

The day a filmmaker with an actual story to tell ("unobtanium?!" hilarious.) gets his or hands and this amazing visual technology, that will be something.

Sally Sparrow from Dr. Who is all-grown up! You do feel as if you are watching a star in the making in Carey Mulligan.

Funny in bits (best bit: Bill Nighy dancing) but not funny as a whole. A bit episodic, with a ridiculous ending.

The Coen brothers have made another divisive film: I really like it; Mr. Goddess hated it. I thought it was deeply funny and deeply ... deep.

Unlike other Michael Moore docs, this was more of a piece of investigative journalism than a political screed. Moore shines his light on for-profit prisons, the appallingly low salaries of airline pilots, and the "dead peasant" insurance policies companies take out on their own employees -- all in the name of making a profit out of anything.
