The Secret in Their Eyes (El secreto de sus ojos)

I was utterly enthralled by the story, both the past and the present. We debated the events depicted in the film the whole ride home. The Secret in Their Eyes leaves you with countless implications, and lets you sift through them until you, like the main character, arrive at the inescapable truth (although ymmv).

In short, it's good. It's complicated. Go see it. :)

M. Night Shyamalan EPIC FAIL.

I can't remember the last time I saw a movie this bad. I hope MST3K riff-tracks it soon, because that's the only way anyone can be reasonably expected to watch this horrible monstrosity.

The actors were atrocious, the CG removed from reality, the plot line divorced from all sense of plausibility.... Need I go on? Give this movie a pass if you value your hard-earned cash.

The only upside to this movie was that it got us out of 4th of July post-fireworks traffic.
