2 In-Flight Movies, One Smart, One Not-So

I recently flew back from Iceland and I thought I would have a lot to say about it, and I probably do, but right now I want to talk about the two movies I watched en route. If you haven't yet, you should definitely see --

Enough Said
Nicole Holofcener somehow always finds the perfect way to reveal those small moments between two people that you never thought other people went through but that you can totally relate to and thank goodness someone did. I loved Julia Dreyfess in this role, the acting is nuanced, funny, mature, and natural. This isn't James Gandolfini's best role, however, but he is likable enough (RIP), and Holofcener does a wonderful job building up his charm and then dissecting it into ever tinier pieces.

Did you see Pacific Rim? Lol.

But why would you bother with -

Pacific Rim

It probably goes without saying. If you were drawn in by the trailers, you probably already saw this in the theaters, but seriously. I can't believe this was a movie for adults. The only saving grace, and sorry I'm so shallow, but Charlie Hunnam as eye candy (oh how I loved him in Undeclared), and Rinko Kikuchi, also easy on the eyes, as the token female character who needs saving.

Yes, this is a movie where giant toys fight each other. TO THE DEATH.
