The Book of Eli

Attempts to surprise and upset expectations are admirable, and Denzel is always watchable, but there really isn’t a plot. And after learning about all of the revelations, looking back at the thin plot can be frustrating -- there’s some logic cheating going on. The look is cool and atmospheric, but filmmakers try too hard, and the movie sometimes seems like a commercial for sunglasses.

Youth In Revolt

I saw this again because I liked it so much.

The Princess and the Frog

I have almost nothing interesting to say about this. Animators had fun with some of the cool voodoo sequences, but the songs by Randy Newman were dull and they all sounded the same. Too bad. A wasted opportunity to include some great music. I’m not really the target demo for this, though, am I?
