a most wanted man (2014). directed by anton corbijn.


not a bad spy movie. i quite enjoy it, the story unfolds as the many hidden motivations of various parties going after the most common scapegoat of our times, though i do find it a tad lazy that the portrayal of muslims as the uncontrollable maniacs under the watchful eyes of western spy agencies hell bent to protect their "innocents". 

come on, man. no mentions of foreign policy, of racism, of immigration, of war, of poverty, of inequality - heck, the list goes on and on. but hell, watching "them" and expecting them to tell the other side of the story, i might as well expect for the ocean to turn purple. 

what if (2013). directed by micheal dowse.


ah, the stuff you watch on the plane on a very long flight. this movie is cute, in a way when your brain is too tired to think. 

i think daniel radcliffe should try another hair cut if he wants to be taken seriously.
