Movie Tips

I’m not sure about you, but I’m not a big risk taker when it comes to movies. I don’t like to waste my time on a bad film. Instead, I generally like to see films that either friends recommend or, after reading a critical review, seem to stand out.

Having said that, here are a few films I’ve seen recently, which I’d recommend. Now before you get too excited, they’re not awesome—they’re just good. See what you think:

Tsotsi—Redemptive movie about a young South African thug who is forced to face his past and his future when a carjacking brings an unexpected person into his life. (Kinda like “Crash” in Johannesburg.)

Proof—Moving story about a mathematician’s daughter who discovers the truth of who she is as she plunges into the genius and mental illness of her father. (Kinda like “A Beautiful Mind.” Filmed in the greatest city in the world.)

Spellbound—An entertaining and surprisingly engaging documentary about the lives of eight kids who qualify for the National Spelling Bee. (Keep a close eye on Harry—one funny kid.)
