Melancholia

Bleh, way too artsy for me. I'm sure there's a ton of meaning behind all the symbolism, but I just wasn't interested enough in anything that happened to bother figuring it out. It probably didn't help that the characters were all such jerks that I was actively rooting for the rogue planet to hit Earth faster and kill them. Also, the way the camera never stayed still kind of made me feel a little sick.

5/10

Big Fish

Hadn't seen this one before, but it was nice to be reminded that Tim Burton can actually make good movies when he isn't being way too Tim Burton-y. The father-son conflict felt kind of clichd, but it works well enough as a framing device for the various stories. Pretty much all of those were great, and it was fun trying to figure out what "really" happened. They did a good job making them feel both somewhat believable and completely absurd at the same time.

7/10
