Musings on movies, suitable for reading before or after you see them. I write about things I liked WITHOUT SPOILERS. The only thing I hate more than spoilers is reviewers' trashing movies because they think it makes them seem smart. Movie title links are usually links to blog posts.

Grace is Gone (2007)
This won the Audience Award at Sundance last year and I had been meaning to see it, so I just watched the DVD. First 10 minutes: Stanley (John Cusack) learns that his wife Grace, a soldier, has died in Iraq. He takes his two daughters, aged 12 and 8, on a road trip without telling them what happened. Really good. The score by Clint Eastwood was good too. And I think it wins Jack's & my Producing Plethora Prize: counting the Co-Producers and Associate Producers, this one had 17! I thought Back to Future had a lot in 1985 with 5.
