A missing son, a missing daughter

If you ever get bored with movies, see the Dardenne brothers' The Son. It's like inventing the wheel. Go ahead, put it in your Netflix queue.

And no, Jodie, I will not be seeing Flightplan, even though I like you. The trailer for your film told me everything I would care to know about it. So I'll keep my $8.50. I want movies to be mysterious, to surprise me.

I pity the person who's seen the trailer for A History of Violence. If it comes up at your local multiplex, close your eyes and plug your ears.
