Some movies I caught on my various flights lately...

The Wolverine - 8/10
I expected to hate it given that they turned the Silver Samurai into a giant robot, but you know what... it actually ended up making sense in the context of the film, IMO. Found it distracting that most of the Japan scenes were filmed in Sydney - the Chinese Gardens that I am looking at right now out of my office window in particular.

Lincoln - 6/10
I don't want to downplay the importance of the film's topic, but I felt that given the time the film was based, this could have been a much better movie, and it had a few too many moments where it felt like the characters on screen were aware they were talking about themselves being in a film - the final scene with Lincoln and his wife in particular. Lewis was excellent as usual though.

There Will be Blood - 8/10
Finally managed to watch this. Probably would have been a 9 if not for all the lines I missed due to the bad audio quality.
