Hereafter (2010)

By Jed | Published: May 11, 2011

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1212419/ Sad but uplifting. Touching children-mother relationship. My heart goes out to the twins. Good acting. Loved the interior architecture of France and Switzerland. White and black. Mildly surprised at the end that Clint Eastwood produced and directed it. Though the movie did had a lot of sad elements in it that most of his [...]

District 9

By Jed | Published: September 9, 2009

Not your typical alien movie. Political in a way that it parallels the South African Apartheid and the treatment of refugees around the world (“aliens”).
