Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)

Such a brilliant concept by Charlie Kauffman so perfectly executed by Michelle Gondry. Jim Carrey delivers a performance that nobody thought he was capable of. Kate Winslet is never off her game.

Eternal Sunshine is what all movies with an unconventional romance aspire to be. Most enjoyed on the first viewing, although I still really liked it on my second viewing almost 10 years later.

Rating: B+

Secondhand Lions (2003)

Overly cartoony and sappy for my taste, but not a terrible film overall. Caine & Duvall are fine actors. I haven’t liked Osment in anything since Sixth Sense. Hopefully he stops looking like a man-child at some point.

Rating: D+
