New at the cinema (subjective spoilers/one word reviews)
Fed Up - engrossing documentary about the American food industry and how it has altered our diets and habits. While there is a call for political action, the film also underscores the need for individuals to think and act for themselves.
Ida - a black and white Polish drama, similar to last year's Philomena. An 18 year old novice is preparing to take her vows to become a nun, when she discovers her family and her past.

Three recent total shitfest viewings:
Godzilla - too many cliches in the plot and action, and too little screen time of Ms. Binoche and the Big Lizard himself.
Young and Beautiful (Jeune & Jolie) - French coming of age nymphomaniac, and a pointless plot.
Palo Alto - just when one thought James Franco's narcissism couldn't become more prominent, comes this sex-crazed teen flick that also goes nowhere. At least Val Kilmer's son makes a decent film debut.

Ivan is on an overnight drive and a series of phone calls fill in the extra characters. In between is an intense story, both between the characters and within Locke. I haven't stopped thinking about this since the credits rolled.
