Movie Reviews
As you know, Enchanting Sunshine doesn’t actually review movies in the usual sense of the word, I leave that to the real critics.
Gone Baby Gone–When a four year old goes missing, her distraught aunt contacts a team of private investigators to find her. The PIs, a couple, working with police, uncover clues and a motive for the little girl’s disappearance. That’s all I’ll say so as not to spoil the plot.
I think about the movie almost every day since I’ve seen it (two weeks ago now). One of the characters is confronted with a decision at the end of the movie. I still don’t know which decision is right or would be the one I would choose. I would love to hear your thoughts after you see the movie. What decision would you make and why?
CTT: 4 thumbs (extra quarter of thumb for making me think)
Rendition–Isabella Fields El-Ibrahimi goes to the airport to pick up her husband Anwar after his business trip to South Africa. When he never arrives, she starts asking questions, especially once she obtains irrefutable proof that he boarded the plane. Meanwhile, the US government, suspecting Anwar of being affiliated with a terrorist organization, attempts to extract information from him about his contacts. The film makes no effort to disguise the comparisons between the fictional prison camp and Guantanamo Bay. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the movie and the topic in general.
CTT: 3.1
There was another movie, but my memory is a sieve so I can’t remember it at the moment.

Napoleon Dynamite is the only movie I have understood in years. Have you seen it then?

here is problem with ‘gone baby gone’: the real mom was such a bad mom cop guy, aka morgan freeman, could easily have had her put away for felony drug and child endangerment and THEN adopted young kid.
he did not need to break law to get girl.

Excellent point! Of course, Morgan Freeman’s character stepped over the line. The ending left me wondering though about circumstances where children are returned to their parents after being in protective custody. How do you know when to take a leap of faith that the parents have changed? I can see how it’s hard for government agencies to always make the right decision, especially without having the benefit of seeing the whole picture. People can be so good at showing only the side of themselves they want you to see.
