I watched Curse of the Golden Flower, which was pretty good. Not as much action and fighting as I'd thought, but a really good story, good acting, and what action there was was very well done. Lots of great visual scenes. And the ending after the great climactic battle--ah, it was good.
I finished watching Little Miss Sunshine last night, which everybody and his brother seemed to gush about. It's good and funny. I wanted to bash Greg Kinnear's face in the first half of the movie, but came around on him the second half. Liked the kid who didn't talk, thought the country's preeminent Proust scholar was good, thought the grandfather was a little annoying (but Alan Arkin won an Oscar for playing him), and thought Toni Colette's character was a pretty good one. I know everybody loved the little girl, but other than being cute, I was a little indifferent to her. Sure, she drove the story, but I'm not as smitten with her as lots of other people seem to be. The little girl playing her was good, though. Don't know if I'd fawn over her the way others did, but that's okay.
