Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

    What you'll find here are comments on the movies through which I've cried, yawned, laughed, and rolled my eyes since it first occurred to me to record my film thoughts while they're still fresh in my mind (early 2002, some early reviews thrown in as a bonus. You're welcome). Entry dates reflect my screening -- parenthetical dates are US release (aka Oscar eligibility) years.
    Yeah, a movie review blog isn't very original. But originality is overrated. Just ask Michael Bay.

The Adjustment Bureau (2011)

The trailers for this movie made it look so stupid. And, alright, yeah, it’s stupid alright.  The Bureau is basically all-powerful at manipulation of the world (stopping time...moving objects) but they can only travel through their special portals if they're wearing HATS.  Uh, okayyyyy.

Still, there's a kind of sweet “true love can conquer anything” plot and the leads, Matt Damon and Emily Blunt, are pretty dang winning. Sometimes that's enough.
