Movie reviews
Stranger than fiction: Clever and witty and touching and happy and sad. Also, Dustin Hoffman's in it. I liked it a lot.
Pan's Labyrinth: Pretty good. Less time spent in fantasy land than I had expected. Time spent in reality even more brutal than I expected, and I'd been told it was brutal. My hypersensitivity to overlong movies kicked in very early, and I spent the first hour or so wishing the thing would pick up the pace a bit, but the last third of the movie seemed to move along nicely. Some great moments, and fine performances, but I don't think it really spoke to me, somehow. I don't feel inclined to rave about it as some (all?) critics have.
