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.
