Away We Go

— "Away We Go” has some very funny parts as a couples journeys across the US to find a place to start their family. I'm a sucker for Mendes' films and this seems like a much lower budget entry than his others, plus more people would see it as a comedy than, say, "Revolutionary Road" or "American Beauty.” It was fine, but not even close to “Revolutionary Road” or “American Beauty”.

Cassandra's Dream

— Watched "Cassandra's Dream" last night and it was just okay. I didn't like it as much as "Match Point" or "Vicky Christina Barcelona". Even so, Woody's always better than many movie options.
