Some movie reviews

Golden Compass: This quasi sci-fi movie was a snore fest, enough said. I could not even stay interested in watching it so I can't remember how it ended. I like Daniel Craig, but he was barely in the movie.
1 out 5 stars.

Charlie Wilson's War: I rented this DVD because the story is interesting. However, the movie was not very good and relatively boring. The acting was fair enough, but there was nothing compelling about the movie. The behind the scenes features on the DVD were more interesting to watch than the movie.
2 out of 5 stars.

Yeah, Charlies Wilson's war basically shows Tom Hanks at a committee meeting asking for more money, then cuts to news footage of the Afghan war (shooting down helicopters), then cuts back to Tom in the committee asking for more money, etc etc. The documentary behind the movie is more interesting than the movie.
