Belated Reviews: For My Father, The Young Victoria and Wonderful World

Film:  For My Father

Review:  A very good film about a Palestinian who has to redeem his family name by becoming a suicide bomber. We see what he encounters when he goes into Israel to do the deed. It was a very interesting and poignant film.

Film:  The Young Victoria

Review:That was very good, although I think it would have worked better as a Masterpiece Theatre mini-series with more episodes added to it chronicling her whole reign. The film only covers her early years, and even that scratches the surface. Still it was entertaining with a nice bit of romance. They did bend the truth in one scene, which I heard bugged the British audiences a bit, so that might not sit well with purists, but overall it was a nice film.

Film:  Wonderful World

Review:  This is the fourth time since I started attending the film series that I've seen a Matthew Broderick film, and I've come to the conclusion that the man needs some serious therapy. All of his characters have been depressing and a bit pathetic. He really needs to get away from these pathetic characters. Each one learns something and rises above their mood, but only marginally, since Matthew himself doesn't.
