QUICK BITS

Waste Land deserved its Oscar nomination. Amazing documentary. Extremely powerful.  Amazing score by Moby.  Good on Vick Muniz -- he's got a huge heart and a shit-ton of talent.

Rabbit Hole is essentially flawless. Aaron Eckhart was great, as was Nicole Kidman. Very sad subject matter (the death of a child) but never overly sentimental or too heavy-handed. Sharp writing and clear-eyed direction by John Cameron Mitchell. 

In the Loop was wonderfully profane and very funny.  I wish it had had subtitles at times but overall I was able to follow it.  Paired nicely with Four Lions.
