Last movie I saw (thanks to Netflix, of course...) was Lions for Lambs. 4 Out of 5 Stars. Here's why:
At first I really wanted to hate it because of Tom Cruise being a leading character in it, and yet he was cast perfectly for the role. Smarmy as hell. And so damn Republican. Better yet was Robert Redford as a burned out aging college professor. Old Bob - not at all "airbrushed up" or in a hazy filter and acting like a movie idol. Meryl Streep, geez....such a low key role. But valuable in a subtle way.
Surprisingly I keep re-hashing the story line over & over and thinking about how scary & truthful and yet campy that was!
