It was a long 13 hour plane trip mostly in the day. So, I had a lot of time to spare, and that meant, obviously, watching a lot of in-flight movies. So this time I watched 3 - The Social Network, Never Let Me Go and The Switch.
The Social Network - a good movie, but one which I expected a little bit more from given all the Oscar hype. That said, it was interesting to find out some of the (supposedly exaggerated) story behind Facebook. And now I know better than to blog about farm animals.
Never Let Me Go - I was kinda spoiled about the twist of the story so that took a little out of the experience for me. I thought the acting was quite good from the leads but the movie lacked that emotional impact which I expected. So while ok, not really award-worthy.
The Switch - I was pleasantly surprised, given that it is a Jennifer Aniston movie. It wasn't that bad at all. Although it raised a lot of questions in my mind - do kids really inherit all these gestures and habits from their parents? Because I know I certainly didn't. My dad and I are not alike at all in personality, and we don't look that similar either. Maybe it only happens if you're not around them all the time? I dunno. I guess its just a movie though and I should just accept that.
