Up In The Air

Up In The Air (another George Clooney film) is also quite excellent. It is not particularly fast paced or that laugh out loud or that serious. It is just plain old good.

Up In The Air gets two kernels for being a good solid film.

The Blind Side

The Blind Side is the wonderful true story of how football player Michael Oher got to where he is. Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw do an excellent job playing the parents and Quinton Aaron played the lead very well. The movie is touching and funny and uplifting and I recommend it.

The Blind Side gets three kernels for being a well rounded and excellent film.

Sherlock Holmes

Sherlock Holmes stars Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law in the latest version of the detective. The film is noticeably directed by Guy Ritchie. I expected it to be pretty wonderful, but was rather disappointed. Some parts of the plot seemed completely unnecessary and Robert Downey Jr. was difficult to understand at times.

Sherlock Holmes gets one kernal for being a bit of a let down.

Avatar

Avatar is an amazing movie in one regard and a rather average movie in another. In terms of plot there is not much going on with the film. It is not that original or surprising in any way. However, visually the film is second to none. I watched the film in 3D and have not yet seen it in regular viewing, but I think it would still be amazing. It is definitely worth a watch.

Avatar gets two kernels for being visually amazing, but average in plot.
