Fragments (2008) aka Winged Creatures - Film Review

Plot Summary - In a Southern California town, a gunman enters a diner/coffee shop and shoots victims at random; those left living through the ordeal are left living fragmented lives - stress and shock seemingly leading this small bunch to odd behavior patterns. First there's tween-age Annie (Dakota Fanning), struggling with the death of her dad in the incident, as she and her friend Jimmy (Josh Hutcherson) hid under the table they were eating at - - after the shooting, Annie becomes a religious fanatic, Jimmy won't talk. Then there's Charlie (Forest Whitaker), gunshot to the neck, wanders out of the hospital and straight to the Indian casinos where he begins a lucky gambling streak shooting craps. Waitress Carla (Kate Beckinsale) wasn't hurt physically in the incident, but begins to chase after the doctor who tended to the victims afterwards, who by coincidence was in the diner 20 minutes before the shooting. Meanwhile, Doc is busy sneaking drugs into his girlfriend's food to give her migraine headaches (huh?!).

Review - This film is well done and was fairly interesting, though the tale ended up being confusing with segments of the story that just never made sense or were explained. The film benefits from having a fine cast of actors and the style and on-location scenes look good. The plotline switches between the different characters and their reactions to this tragedy. The film also features Jackie Earle Haley as Jimmy's dad (pretty small role) and Jennifer Hudson as Charlie's daughter. Reasonably good, though flawed. Rating - 7.5/10 stars

The Edge of Love (2008) Film Review - Keira Knightley

Plot Summary - Romantic period piece set in London during the Blitz of WWII. Underground singer, the beautiful brunette Vera Phillips (Keira Knightley), is still loved by her childhood sweetheart, real life Welsh poet Dylan Thomas (Matthew Rhys). He's now married to blonde Catlain (Sienna Miller). The two women become best friends when Vera meets up with Dylan by chance in a London nightclub - and soon Vera, though stand-offish, is being pursued by a handsome soldier named William and the four become sort of an odd foursome. William is madly in love with Vera, especially after she sleeps with him after a terrifying bombing, and she agrees to marry him (though seemingly reluctant since he is going off to battle). With a baby on the way, Vera, Dylan, and Catlain return to Wales to live (with a bit of a love triangle to follow), while William is in Greece caught in the midst of horrendous battles.

Review - This is a stylish film, based around real incidents. Well done as a whole, with nice period costumes, art direction and location photography - though I must say that when I watched the trailer for this on the DVD (after the film) I thought "wow" - it looked like it would be such a great film in the trailer - and, well, just wasn't. I did enjoy this, but it did seem to be trying a wee bit too hard to be artsy (lots of camera shots into mirrors). How about those huge facial close-ups of Keira's gorgeous, perfect face - even on Blu-ray, she's flawless. Cillian Murphy, the actor who plays William, is a good-looker! (2009 release in USA) Review - 8/10 stars

Two Lovers (2008) Film Review - Joaquin Phoenix

Plot Summary - Love quadrangle. Strange, sometimes suicidal Leonard (Joaquin Phoenix) lives at home with his parents and works at the family dry cleaning business. Leonard is soon matched up with stable and sane Sandra (Vinessa Shaw), daughter of family friends who are planning to merge businesses with the family. Sandra's crazy about Leonard - him, not so much so - especially after he meets his new neighbor, pretty, pill-popping, and extremely unstable Michelle (Gwyneth Paltrow). Sandra is in love with Leonard, Leonard is in love with Michelle - but unfortunately for Leonard, Michelle is currently having an affair with her boss, a married lawyer, who she believes will leave his family for her (silly woman). Michelle obviously thinks of Leonard as just a "pal" as she is constantly calling and asking him for help with her "relationship", even going so far as to get Leonard to come along as the third wheel on a date with the lawyer she loves, so he can better help give her advice.

Review - This film was sort of entertaining - though nothing great. I didn't really care for the character of Leonard, or either of the women for that matter - so it was just sort of "who cares" as to what I thought about what happens to this bunch. I did like the New York City (Brighton Beach) on-location setting and enjoyed seeing Isabella Rossellini, who plays Leonard's mother, in this - so much like her mom, Ingrid Bergman! Rating - 7/10 stars

Phoebe in Wonderland (2008) Film Review

Plot Summary - Drama about troubled nine-year old misfit, Phoebe (Elle Fanning), who becomes obsessed with "Alice in Wonderland", a story her mother (Felicity Huffman) is busy working on for her dissertation. Phoebe is picked on in school, and seems to have a growing problem with obsessive/compulsive behavior - she washes her hands compulsively, she spits at bullying children, and she can't seem to control her mouth as she parrots things people say to her and blurts out inappropriate words. Phoebe gets the part of Alice in a new production of "Alice in Wonderland", being put on at school by an eccentric drama teacher named Miss Dodger (Patricia Clarkson). Phoebe's odd behavior patterns seem only to be in control while she is practicing in the play - - in the real world, she sometimes imagines conversations with characters from Alice. She also befriends a young boy who has dolls and a baking set, and has tried out and gotten a part in the play as the "Red Queen"!

Review - The film is colorful and compelling, with a nice message about accepting those of us who are different. I enjoyed this a lot and thought Elle Fanning did a great acting job - very believable. Nicely done - looked real good on Blu-Ray! (I am SO loving my Blu-ray player!!) Rating - 9/10 stars

The Ramen Girl (2008) Film Review

Plot Summary - Indie film, set in Tokyo. Young, blonde, eager and American Abby (Brittany Murphy) arrives in Tokyo to be with her "boyfriend" who is now living there. But the boyfriend is just not that into her, leaves town and Abby high and dry in a strange city full of strange customs and ways. Not to mention, our Abby doesn't seem to speak a word of Japanese. But - she stays on as she suddenly finds herself drawn to the bustling ramen shop (noodle restaurant) across the street. Well - Abby decides she wants to become a Ramen Chef and asks the chef/owner of the shop to become her teacher. The chef is a grouchy, disagreeable Japanese older man who doesn't speak a word of English, likes to spout insults at her in Japanese, and doesn't even agree to teach her. But Abby is a real aggressive one and just keeps showing up, doing what he asks - which is mainly cleaning the toilet and floors. The two spend pretty much the entire film talking to each other without seemingly understanding each other - but a bond seems to grow somehow, anyway, as he finally begins to teach her to grow up as she learns the ways of making broth and assembling her bowls of ramen - with spirit!

Review - A sort of coming-of-age tale (except that this chick is already into her twenties) that is pretty interesting to watch, for the most part (though I found her aggressiveness kind of annoying sometimes - not to mention the chef, whose personality in sort of grating too). There is an obligatory love story between Abby and a handsome, young Japanese man she meets, but that part of the plot seems sort of thrown-in and doesn't give much to the story as a whole. I enjoyed the scenes in Tokyo (which I always think looks like such an interesting place) and the scenes inside the atmospheric, almost quaint little ramen shop which looked like a place I would like to eat! Rating - 7.5 - 8/10 stars

Gran Torino (2008) Film Review - Clint Eastwood

Plot Summary - Gruff and tough old Korean War veteran Walt Kowalski (Clint Eastwood) has just lost his wife and is living alone (just him and his dog Daisy) in his old house in a rundown Michigan neighborhood that has been taken over by mainly Hmong immigrant families. Walt uses a lot of ethnic slurs in his way of talking, and doesn't care for the changes that have taken place in the old neighborhood. He also doesn't really get along with his grown sons and grandchildren (jerks the lot of them, if you ask me) - but he finds himself getting involved with and soon befriending his next-door neighbor's teen son and daughter, Sue and Thao. Thao is having plenty of trouble with his cousin's Hmong street gang who are after him 'cause he won't join them (Thao even botched a feeble initiation attempt to steal neighbor Walt's prize 1972 Gran Torino, mainly kept shiny and slick in Walt's garage). Sue is sassy and smart-mouthed. Walt confronts the street toughs with his huge Korean War gun he keeps handy, joins the family for barbecue dinners, helps Sue and Thao out of scrapes with the various local hoods and toughs, and finds himself liking this family better than his own, all while overcoming his own built-in prejudices.

Review - A well done film, quiet and interesting - Clint Eastwood is great and pretty amusing with his no-holds barred language and gruff manner, he comes across as a likable fellow despite outward appearances and manner. I found the story involving, the on-location neighborhood scenes nicely done, and the relationships between the characters realistic. Rating - 9/10 stars

Revolutionary Road (2008) Film Review - Kate Winslet, Leonardo DiCaprio

Plot Summary - Dark and complex drama set in the mid-1950s, following a couple (Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet) and their brittle personal relationship. Everyone considers Frank and April Wheeler a "special couple" - Frank and April think so too! But they feel like their life is in a rut, that they've bought into what everyone is "supposed" to do, and that is not what makes them happy - - they have a nice suburban Connecticut house, two kids, good job for dad in the city where he sits in a cubicle all day at a job he hates, takes martini lunches with co-workers, and seduces a cute young secretary with martinis, then sleeps with her - all a day's work. April comes up with an idea to spark some life into their marriage - have hubby Frank quit his job and the family move to Paris, where April plans to take a secretarial job while Frank "finds himself" - a novel concept for fifties America. The plan in the works, Frank plans to quit his job - but an unforeseen promotion and unexpected pregnancy may stand in the way of their goal.

Review - This is a great film - dark, yes, but SO well done - the acting, the 50s setting perfectly duplicated, the story so absorbing. Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet give absolutely outstanding performances in this film. Liked the scene early in the film where Leonardo's character heads via train into the city - all men in hats and lots of vintage cars - cool. Boy there was a lot of smoking and martini drinking in this, by the way - liked the "Vito's Log Cabin" nightclub they went to in one scene! A superbly done film - loved the music score in this too, done by one of my most favorites - Thomas Newman, which matched this film to a tea! One of the best films from 2008, I thought. Rating - 10/10 stars

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008) Film Review

Plot Summary - Teen romantic comedy all set on one night out and about on the streets of NYC. High schooler Norah (Kat Dennings) is out on the town with her best gal pal Caroline in search of her favorite band "Where's Fluffy?", rumored to be appearing at a secret night spot somewhere in New York City that night. Nick (Michael Cera) is a guy recently dumped by one Tris, third sort-of-gal-pal of the two girl's and recipient of Nick's CD mixes he makes for her in some sort of warped recovery effort. The girl's are all at a club that night where Norah comes on to Nick (who she's never met) in order to make bitchy Tris jealous. Soon Norah ends up on the town with Nick and his band members, all searching for "Where's Fluffy?, while drunken Caroline ends up in the back of the guy's van. Problems when Caroline disappears and Tris starts coming on to Nick again. But - Nick and Norah love all the same music - and hey, their first kiss made it look like they were a match!

Review - Cute movie, good music, and lots of on-location scenes in my fave NYC. Actor Michael Cera makes for a very likable character in all films I've seen him in - he seems nerdy, yet attractive - just the type I like (no, I don't have a crush, I just think he makes a nice match in these teen films). Rating - 8/10 stars

Valkyrie (2008) Film Review - Tom Cruise

Plot Summary - True story, set in WWII Germany. About a group of SS officers who have devised an elaborate plan to assassinate Hitler and seize control of the government to help end the War and atrocities. A leader is put in place to help pull off this plan in the form of a wounded Colonel, missing an eye and a hand, named Stauffenberg (Tom Cruise). He is even assigned the task of performing the killing of Hitler himself!

Review - This is an excellent, exciting film that kept me on the edge of my seat - especially since it all really happened! Cruise does a nice job here, as does the mainly British cast of well known character actors. I especially liked David Bamber (so delightfully smarmy as Cousin Collins in the 1995 BBC series "Pride and Prejudice") who plays Adolf Hitler - wow did it seem like he really was Hitler in the film! Good one all around. Rating - 9.5/10 stars

Passengers (2008) Film Review - Anne Hathaway

Plot Summary - Mystery/thriller about a beautiful young therapist, Claire (Anne Hathaway), who is assigned to help a small handful of people who were the only survivors of a recent, horrific plane crash. Claire holds group therapy sessions and uncovers that some of the passengers remember a mid-air explosion, yet the airline's powers-that-be are insistent that it was pilot error rather than a mechanical failure of the plane. Claire searches for the truth as a mysterious man is seen watching their session through the window and later following a passenger, passengers begin to "disappear" (skipping sessions or?), an airline official follows Claire and pushes her to mind her own business, and Claire starts up a romance with a good-looking passenger named Eric (Patrick Wilson) who is being stalked by a mystery dog.

Review - This is a really excellent film that drew me in right from the start. Really interesting plot with some surprises as well. I can't say this wasn't in certain ways predictable, but still found it completely intriguing. Plus - I love Anne Hathaway! The way they filmed the plane crash, shown completely from the passengers and pilots point-of-view inside the plane rather than outside, is both realistic looking and frightening. Excellent film. Rating - 9.5/10 stars

Last Chance Harvey (2008) Film Review - Hoffman, Thompson

Plot Summary - Love story about the unlikely match between two older, lonely people who live in two different cities and don't even seem that keen on each other at first glance. American Harvey Shine (Dustin Hoffman) arrives in London to attend his daughter's wedding. Not exactly father-of-the-year, I guess, things don't really go the way Harvey hopes as his daughter (bitch,if you ask my opinion) tells him she would rather her step-father give her away. Harvey, busy businessman, decides to skip his daughter's wedding reception - but - he misses his plane home and at the same time, gets fired by his boss. Poor Harvey! But while getting a drink in an airport lounge he chances to meet a middle-aged London woman named Kate (Emma Thompson) and they start to form a friendship. She convinces him to attend the wedding reception, he invites her to go with him - then decides to postpone his trip back home as this spur-of-the-moment match-up seems to be possibly a love match in the making!

Review - Ah, I loved this one - quite romantic, and nice to see a story about a blossoming romance that features an older couple - it doesn't always have to be just about the thirty or under set, does it?! The whole story is helped along by top-notch performances by two great stars, Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson, as well as nice on-location scenes filmed in my favorite town (at least of those I've been to so far), London. The film also includes a very nice soundtrack that enhances the film. Rating - 9.5/10 stars

Lost in Austen (2008) Film Review - Pride and Prejudice spin

Plot Summary - Modern day Hammersmith, London gal, Amanda Price (Jemima Rooper), lives and breathes Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice", her favorite novel. Oddly, she finds a young woman in her bathroom one day who has come through the wall and is about to change her life - and it's none other than Elizabeth "Lizzie" Bennet herself! Amanda slips through the same wall and into the 19th century world of the Bennet family, right into their upstairs hall, actually. She proceeds by staying at Longbourn (the Bennet home, for those not in the know) as a friend of Lizzie (while Lizzie is behind in the modern world doing who knows what!). Amanda can't get back home so begins living the story as told in "Pride and Prejudice". But, hey, remember - it's not that wise to mess with the space-time continuum, even in a fictional story apparently - she begins to 'cause the story to alter - starting with the unlikely marriage of Jane to, um, Mr. Collins. And - what do you think - in spite of her efforts to make sure handsome, proud Mr. Darcy (Elliot Cowan) will eventually end up with Lizzie - Amanda starts to fall for him herself. Things get real messed up, and none of the characters end up being entirely like Amanda always imagined them!

Review - Okay - this three-hour (made for British TV, I should think) film was quite entertaining. Not as good as film adaptations of the real "Pride and Prejudice", but cute and sometimes amusing. The characters and style of the film are all geared mainly to emulate the 1995 Colin Firth BBC version as well as elements I noted from the 2005 theatrical film version. There is a part near the end where Mr. Darcy actually goes back with Amanda through the wall and sees modern day London (and thinks he's dreaming on Opium!) - quite entertaining that. Enjoyable, mainly for Austen and "Pride and Prejudice" fans. Rating - 8/10 stars

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008) Film Review

Plot Summary - Odd and interesting fantasy/romance about Benjamin Button (Brad Pitt), born in New Orleans as a baby who is an old man in his eighties but tiny like a baby (and looking pretty darn weird, I must say). His mother dead from child birth, Benjamin is abandoned by his father on the front porch of an old age home, where a black woman who works there adopts him as her own. Benjamin starts his life with all the ailments of an old person - at first he's got wrinkles, arthritis, rickety bones, sags and bags, balding head, and walks with a cane, but as he gradually gets older in years - he gets younger and more and more handsome physically!! A strange concept indeed - yet how intriguing! The romance - - Benjamin first meets Daisy (grown-up Daisy played by Cate Blanchett) when she is visiting her grandmother at the home - she a little girl, he a very old man, but they develop a life-long bond of friendship with love - and passion - to come, as his and her ages gradually meet in the middle, you could say.

Review - I enjoyed this close to three hour film - the film begins just after World War I and progresses to the current day. The story is related by character Daisy, now an old woman on her death bed, to her daughter (Julia Ormond) via a diary that was written by Benjamin. I enjoyed the way the period elements were done in this film - realistic costumes and time period feel helped draw me into each elapsing decade as Benjamin grows younger and younger. A few of the scenes were filmed to look like old film footage. Loved the Scott Joplin music, used in a few scenes (I love ragtime!). Rating - 10/10 stars

The Reader (2008) Film Review - Kate Winslet

Plot Summary - Well done drama about a teenager who has an affair with an older woman with a dark secret and the life-long effects this affair has the man's psyche. In 1958 Germany, fifteen-year old Michael (David Kross) is ill on the streets where he is helped by a thirty-something woman named Hanna (Kate Winslet). Struck by her, he recovers and seeks her out - and so begins an affair despite their twenty-year age difference and seemingly different social and educational levels. Rushing to see her after school, their affair is driven not just by sex and baths but by her desire to be read to by him - all the classic novels. One day she has disappeared and he doesn't see her again - until SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT: forward to 1966 where Michael is a young law student who is taking a special seminar and attends a trial in which - surprise - Hanna, once an SS guard during the Holocaust, is being prosecuted for war crimes!

Review - I found this film an intriguing watch, quite romantic and passionate in the first half, and leading into the Holocaust part of the story which comes as somewhat of a surprise (at least if you know nothing of the film's plot, which is what I try to do by keeping away from film reviews and clips until after I've seen the movie). I did question a couple of things that these characters do in this film (SPOILER SPOILER: 1. why he doesn't speak up about her illiteracy during the trial, 2. why she "gives up" on herself at the end of the film), which came across as unrealistic to me. But, in any case, I did really enjoy this and found it to be an excellent and memorable film. Kate Winslet is great, as usual, as is Ralph Fiennes who appears as the grown-up man version of Michael - but I must say, actor David Kross, who plays young Michael is fantastic in this, why no Oscar nod?! Rating - 10/10 stars

Frost/Nixon (2008) Film Review - Frank Langella

Review - Directed by Ron Howard. Didn't get this one written up, but it was real good - really held my interest. About the four-part interview that David Frost did with Richard Nixon in the 70s after he resigned as U.S. president. Quality acting by both Frank Langella as Nixon, as well as Michael Sheen as Frost. Excellent job on the period setting, by the way. Rating - 9.5/10 stars

The Wrestler (2008) Film Review - Mickey Rourke

Plot Summary - Mickey Rourke stars as an aging wrestler - once an 80s wrestling superstar called Randy "The Ram" - who now appears in small-time matches and fan autograph appearances just to make ends meet. His body all worn out from years of abuse, a sudden heart attack and by-pass surgery forces him, unwillingly, to give up his career and take a job behind a grocery store deli counter. Friendship with a pole dancer/stripper (Marisa Tomei) at a local club he frequents, plus troubles re-establishing a non-existent relationship with his now grown daughter (Evan Rachel Wood) are in the mix.

Review - This is an absorbing film, a real character study into this man's world. Mickey Rourke does a phenomenal job playing this role - I'm not sure if he shouldn't have won the Best Actor Oscar over Sean Penn who won for "Milk" (both were excellent). That's sort of a sleazy strip club he goes too - Marisa Tomei does a pretty good job here as the typical film stripper with a heart of gold, so-to-speak. The film includes a number of rather bloody, violent wrestling scenes - ugh, hard to look at Mickey Rourke sometimes they've got him so messed-up and bedraggled looking in this. I thought this film was excellent and liked the heavy metal 80s music they used throughout this (yeah, in the early/mid 80s I definitely had a patch where my faves were Def Leppard, The Scorpions, Motley Crue, Ozzy). Rating - 9/10 stars

The Last Word (2008) Film Review - Winona Ryder

Plot Summary - Sort of black comedy about a weird, reclusive sort of guy (Wes Bentley) - (deadpan-expression is his usual look) - who is a writer/poet currently running a web business called "The Last Word" in which he composes the, yeah, last words - sort of epitaphs - for people who are contemplating suicide. While attending one of his "clients" funeral (he does that a lot) he meets the victim's attractive sister, Charlotte (Winona Ryder), a dark horse indeed. She phones him and chases him, he - for some unknown reason - at first seems uninterested. Her stalking pays off (maybe it helped when she does the - um - deed with him in broad daylight on the roof of a downtown L.A. building in full view of hundreds of windows overlooking from other buildings) and soon they're a couple. She is a pretty weird chick too, yet they don't seem like that great a match - maybe it's 'cause he lies to her about what he actually does for a living and all his deceptions steer her the wrong way.

Review - Okay, I'm not super keen usually on black comedies - this was just okay. Ray Romano adds a bit of amusement to the mix as one of his clients, Wes Bentley is just too boring to make this interesting (yeah, I know, the character is supposed to be sort of boring - but hey, what can I say). Bland one. Rating - 6.5/10 stars

Twilight (2008) Film Review

Plot Summary - Teen Vampire movie. Teenage Bella (Kristen Stewart) moves in with her dad who lives in the very small town of Forks, Washington where she starts up as new girl at the local high school. She meets a very strange, handsome young man, Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), who at first seems to hate her as he gives her some pretty dark looks. His whole family of "foster siblings" who also attend the school are a very weird bunch indeed. Well - Bella and Edward are drawn to each other, he befriends her (almost unwillingly), and then always seems to be right there to save her when she is in some sort of danger (which is often). Okay - he can zoom like lightning through the air, is super strong, can read minds, and longs to taste Bella's blood (but luckily for her, holds himself back) - yeah, he's a vampire from a family of vampires. They are soon a teen couple in love, a very weird relationship.

Review - Okay, I found this film very entertaining - cool vampire stuff combined with typical teen high school movie (well, not so typical actually - no "mean girls" at this school). Well - it seems pretty obvious that the weird Cullen kids are, indeed, vampires - a group of kids who all have red lips, white skin, and weird yellowish gleaming eyes - think it'd be sort of obvious. But only the Indians from the local reservation seem to have a clue what's going on in this town! Nice on-location photography in a pretty, woodsy, often rainy small town enhances the film. I also enjoyed the scenes with the three nomad vampires - the baseball game and the way the special effects made the trio look like they were moving really fast, all pretty cool. I have not read the books, so went into this film with no knowledge of the story - I really enjoyed it. Rating - 9.5/10 stars

Frozen River (2008) Film Review - Melissa Leo

Plot Summary - Tense drama about a woman (Melissa Leo) who is struggling to make ends meet after her gambling addicted hubby takes the money and runs, leaving her alone to care for her two sons and come up with the payment for their desired double-wide trailer home. She's unable to earn enough at her part-time job at Yankee Dollar, but when she meets a gal on the nearby Mohawk reservation who makes money running illegal immigrants over the local border from Canada into the United States, she joins her for a split of the money. The two women must drive across a frozen river, then drive back with the immigrants in the car trunk. Seedy characters and troubles soon get into the mix as the danger of getting caught seems only a matter of time.

Review - This is a very good film, Melissa Leo gives a powerful, compelling performance (Oscar nominated) that keeps you interested. Nicely done on-location photography and lots of facial close-ups helps hold up the tension. Rating - 9/10 stars

The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008) Film Review

Plot Summary - A giant, mysterious sphere zooms through space to land directly in Central Park, out pops an alien being, out pop the United States military guns to shoot the poor fellow and a giant metallic robot figure pops out of the sphere to defend him. But scientist Helen Benson (Jennifer Connelly) is at hand to see the alien's wound is operated on - unfortunately, our alien (who has taken on human form - played by Keanu Reeves) is now in the hands of the U.S. government who hold him for questioning. She helps him make his escape, and soon Helen, the alien, and Helen's little boy (Jaden Smith) are on the run. Smaller spheres have arrived around the world, and the alien claims he has arrived to help save planet earth - but the human race itself is in trouble, based on their destructive behavior.

Review - This was fun and entertaining, I love sci-fi so figured I would enjoy this in spite of the mixed reviews. Special effects are well done (like all films being made now - doesn't seem like film-making can progress much farther on that score). This is a remake of a fifties classic, which I should see (not sure if I ever saw before, if I did it was a real long time ago). Rating - 7.5/10 stars
