The Way Home

I’ve always liked Peter Weir, and for the most part I enjoyed this. The cast was great and they all did a bang-up job as the method-acting survivalists. At times it’s very tense and visceral, but there is also shot after shot after shot of the starving escapees crossing tundras and deserts. After a while it gets wearisome. Perhaps that’s the filmaker’s intent?

The Green Hornet

Poorly written. Not very funny. Not very exciting. Not much of a plot. Seth Rogen was all wrong for the part, but the guy who played Kato was good. Some decent montages.

It’s not terrible. It just feels like nobody was trying very hard to make an interesting movie.
