    Getting LOST

    ★★★★

    Loved this show and the documentary did a great job touching on a vast array of things. I wish they had covered more of the show itself with more of the cast members (for longer lengths) that were interviewed. Sections with and about fans were fun and interesting, but went on too long. It also felt like it was about to end multiple times before the credits rolled.

  • The Penguin Lessons

    The Penguin Lessons

    ★★★★

    I love a film that starts in neutral territory and slowly builds such that you don’t know where all your investment and emotion came from. That was The Penguin Lessons for me. Plus, penguin!

    Mr. Nobody

    ★★★½

    Choosing to name a main character Nemo is a daring feat in this day and age. I should have known that Mr. Nobody was going to be different right from the get-go.

    The thing about any movie that stars Jared Leto is that you know it’s going to be a little eccentric. Once he graduated from pretty-boy Jordan in My So Called Life, he was clearly never going back. And this is no exception. (read more here)

  • The Reader

    The Reader

    ★★★★½

    The Reader is not at all what I thought it would be. Two imperfect people at different times of their lives, still connected, but still strangers. I found it captivating.

    I absolutely love when I go into a movie blind and it turns out to be something so spellbinding that I am not only completely satisfied while watching it, but I can’t stop thinking about it afterward. Those are the gems. (read more here )
