Buried (2010): Ryan Reynolds plays a U.S. contractor working in Iraq who wakes up to find himself buried alive inside a crude coffin. All he has with him is a cell phone and a lighter. The entire movie is set in the coffin, so if you don't like Ryan Reynolds, you might want to skip it. Much like Moon, this movie has taught me that corporations are pure evil. EVIL! 3 Stars!
Sudden Fear (1952): This was another one of Joan Crawford's big comeback movies (she was nominated for an Academy Award). Crawford plays a middle-aged playwright who marries a young actor (played by a very young Jack Palance). Soon into their marriage, she discovers that he is plotting with his mistress to kill her for her money. I'm not all that crazy about this movie, but it does have some good scenes and Gloria Grahame is great as the trashy girlfriend. Um, and what is up with Jack Palance's face? Yikes! 2 1/2 Stars!
The Fighter (2010): I really enjoyed this movie even though the hardest scenes to watch were the ones where I realized I used to wear some of the same outfits as the sisters and the mom back in the 90's. Not a good look for anyone. 3 Stars!
Sisters (1973): OMG! How did I avoid watching this movie for so long? It's brilliant. Margot Kidder plays twin sisters involved in a bizarre murder. Jennifer Salt plays a reporter who witnesses the murder, but no one believes her story because there's no body. Did anyone get the ending? I thought maybe Netflix had cut off the last few minutes, but apparently that's how it actually ends. 4 Stars!
Flickering Lights (2000): Another movie I picked to watch only because it stars Mads Mikkelsen. This is one of his comedic roles. It's a bromance movie about a group of criminals who bond while opening up a restaurant in the countryside after stealing money from their gangster boss. They also shoot stuff...A LOT. 3 Stars! Some FYI for fellow fans of AMC's The Killing: The actress who plays Hanne in this movie was the original Sarah in the Danish version AND Mads' brother, Lars, played the politician part. Um, but he's not in this movie.
