Powerful, affecting film! Superb acting, espesially by Ronit, and equally superb directing. Story about an Isreali woman who endures years of the emotional, psychological and physically taxing process involved in the religious ritual of Jewish divorce, before a biased and unsympathetic rabbinic court. It is almost painful to watch the long, drawn out and punishing ordeal that she is forced to endure, in order to win her freedom. Her last day in court, when her husband, after 5 years, finally agrees to the divorce, but at the last moment refuses to say the words, is wrenching. Yet, you feel compelled to watch this slow torture.

A mediocre screen play, based on a not so believable premise. Story is confusing from the start. Is The Night House the story of a woman who becomes psychotic after the suicide death of her husband? Or, is it the story of a husband who commits suicide and returns to visit his wife as a ghost? Or, is it the story of a husband who dies by suicide and his wife later discovers that her husband was a serial killer? The answer is the screen writer couldn't make up his/her mind and decided to use all 3 premises, but failed to deliver any of the 3 premises effectively. Rebecca Hall is convincing, whichever premise you subscribe to. But her heavy breathing throughout the movie can be a bit tiring. The Night House is a poor vehicle for such a good actor, like Hall. Rebecca Hall deserved a better movie.

Probably one of the worst Bond films ever. Disappointing on many levels....too many subplots; too many villains; too many characters who do not further the storyline; and much too long. I missed the sophistication of Judy Dench as M. Instead we get a lackluster male version of M, one who lacks the wit and biting dialogue that has always characterized a good Bond film. I missed the older, experienced Q, and his obsession with lethal gadgetry. Instead, we get a younger, less obsessed version, who assumes a much larger, integral role in the main plot and subplots. Missed seeing Bond between the sheets with a beautiful woman. Missed seeing Bond with his shirt off. Missed hearing the familiar Bond theme played at the end of the movie. All of this seems superficial, but it's what the audience has come to expect from a good Bond film. But most of all, I missed the big payoff at the end of the movie, when Bond anilalates the bad guys and walks away unscathed. Instead we get a very unexciting, overly melodramatic ending, where Bond supposedly dies and must part with his French love interest and the daughter he fathered with her. Of course, we don't actually see Bond dead, so this leaves the franchise the option of continuing the Bond saga at some time in the future. Definitely NOT WORTH THE WAIT!

Not as good as I expected. Mediocre screenplay, with the basic storyline borrowed from the original Star Wars movie I found this sequel to be a combination of Star Wars, An Officer And a Gentleman and the first installment of Top Gun.....only much worse than any of the 3 aforementioned movies. Some of the dialoque was downright hokey. The magic of the original Top Gun was totally missing. In it's place was a contrived, ridiculous, but mostly predictable plot. Several people in the theater actually walked out. Many in the theater fidgeted in their seats, checked their emails or got up to use the bathroom, as did I. Save your money!

Good retrospective documentary about the life and career of Val Kilmer. Written by Val Kilmer, but voiced by his son, Jack. Good film footage, but the film needed better editing. Nevertheless, the essential Val Kilmer is revealed without any filters. The best parts were the old clips of Kilmer, filmed by others, where Kilmer himself, talks about his life, family and career in the present tense. The film is not about his illness, although his illness is ever present throughout the film. The word cancer is never mentioned.

Atmospheric, Icelandic film, with a slowly evolving plot. Great performances all around in spite of the odd premise. Amid stunning Icelandic landscapes, the entire film reeks of loneliness and isolation (in a deftly, effective manner). Although slow moving, I liked everything about the film, except the ending. It was enough of a story that this young couple, living on a totally isolated farm, and having lost their only child, decides to raise a half human, half lamb baby, born to one of their sheep, as their own child. As the "child" grows, we see the couple's love and devotion grow to the point where the woman becomes intolerant of the child's biological mother and she kills the sheep/mother. But the ending ruins the movie. In one of the last scenes, a half human, half sheep creature emerges, shoots the husband/father and kidnaps the lamb/child. From that point on, the movie becomes confusing. And although I like films, where the ending is somewhat ambiguous, this ending leaves one almost speechless. It would have been better to leave the audience wondering how this odd and unusual family unit finally ends up.
