Sucker Punch

Sucker Punch was huge disappointment to me. The "missions" were interesting, the tie in using mental institution/brothel thing was pointless and a joy killer. I would have been more satisfied with the movie of them just playing a game (as it is done in "Assault Girls" or "Serial Experiments Lain").

The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of LIfe

Hewh! Finally finished The Snowball. I liked it, it is a actual biography of Warren Buffet life (not just business biography). It was interesting to read about his early life and track all relationships that shaped his personality.

Black Swan

Black Swan was really interesting. You get into the world of a young aspiring ballerina, the training and the stress involved in search of perfection. Straight from the opening you get a hint that things are not quite the way you see them, and as the movie progresses you witness her deepening schizophrenia. Until what is real and what not completely blurs and her world completely falls apart. As usual Natalie Portman was simply amazing.

The Adjustment Bureau

"The Adjustment Bureau" was quite interesting. Matt Damon and Emily Blunt had great on screen chemistry; it was fun watching them. The whole the dialog with the agents about "The Plan" reminds me any random conversation in any random big corporation about "The Policy". It is funny how people try to avoid to say "I don't know" (especially when doing it doesn't make any sense). Otherwise agent Thompson is pretty much Lucifer like character; he lies, extorts and uses all dirty tricks to try to accomplish his task; in the end he predictably fails.
