Review of No End in Sight (2007) by Wes L — 11 Nov 2007

Some quick reviews of movies I either saw a long time ago or don't feel like writing a full review for.

[color=#000000]Very good documentary. The direction and footage is terrific and it really gets its point across about subjects that you don't necessarily already know about. However, it isn't as engaging as last year's [i]Deliver Us From Evil[/i] or 2005's [i]Murderball[/i].[/color].

[color=#000000]For some reason, I was curious to see this, and it was nothing like what I expected. I pictured Mr. Brooks as a movie that I would think of as generic and unoriginal but it's the exact opposite. It's [i]too[/i] ambitious in its subplots and plot twists that it becomes muddled and overlong. At it's core, Costner and Hurt portray two very intriguing characters (or one) but it's just all over the place. However, it kept me interested with it's unpredictability. [/color].

[color=#000000]I saw this over the summer but never wrote a review. Danny Boyle shows off his directing range with a sci-fi space thriller. The visuals are amazing, and there are some very cool Boyle-esque touches. [i]2001: A Space Odyssey[/i] was obviously an influence here, and seeing how I think that that is one of the best movies of all-time, that's a plus. I thought it was engaging and risky and definately a breath of fresh air. I [/color].
