Chéri (2009)
The son of a courtesan retreats into a fantasy world after being forced to end his relationship with the older woman who educated him in the ways of love.
Good production value and a worthy cast hardly prevent that the result is only vaguely compelling and somewhat sterile.
Maltin**: "...but this costume dramma...goes awry...Bates stretches patience as Chéri's mother, but Pfeiffer still has enough aging luminosity to suggest what the movie might have been."
Elysium (2013)
In the year 2154, the very wealthy live on a man-made space station while the rest of the population resides on a ruined Earth, and a man takes on a mission that could bring equality to the polarized worlds.
A good sci-fi plot with some great sets is staged like an ordinary actioner without any thrilling urgency and without the righteous moral and political rage you'd expect from the story.
Maltin**1/2: "Writer-director Blomkamp's follow-up to DISTRICT 9 offers a similar blend of science fiction and social commentary, but after a promising start it runs off the rails, becoming a grim, gritty shoot-'em-up devoid of fun. Foster's mannered performance...is also hard to take."
New Stuff: Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies
