Contraband

Cool concept with lots of twists and tension.

I wanted to see Contraband before it came out, but I had pretty much shelved it until I saw Roeper's review. He said it was good, so I figured I'd give it a shot. I really liked it. It was hard to get into at first, though. That camerawork was driving me crazy. Totally unnecessary. Didn't add anything. What was the point? Either it stopped halfway through, or I just got used to it, because I didn't notice it as much after that.

Snow Angels

I barely recognized Kate Beckinsale in this, but that's probably just because I haven't seen her in much. She's pretty. I didn't like how the movie kept showing one scene, broken up into and interrupted by five scenes. All of the characters were fucked up, and it was interesting once it took a turn, but getting to that point was tedious and uncomfortable.
