Nim's Island


two and a half

This film was delightfully engaging, though a tad unrealistic. I think it's a shame that they felt the need to make the story so overly-ridiculous just to create adventure. I think the concept could have held its own without the "screaming at the heavens in vain" scene or the outrageous survival tactics. The adventure-film-turned-romance was another unfortunate twist.

Of course, the filmograhpy was lovely and creative, no doubt made easy by the beautiful and exotic location.

The Big Break

Okay, I admit it: I've watched many movies since February...and no, I have not blogged about them. It's partly because I'm lazy. It's partly because I've watched more movies than I could keep track of. And it's partly because I don't feel qualified to write film critiques.

But now I'm determined to start again.
