Sporadic reviews of movies I have seen, usually recently. The vast majority will be fluffy 'chick-flick'-type subjects.

The Good Lie, 2.5 Stars
This is an okay film. The trailer is not totally accurately portrayed in that it starts with what feels like a 20 minute documentary about Sudan and its war and strife.
The rest of the film is based in the U.S. and is about three Sudanese refugees immigrating, none of whom were (actor's) names that I recognized. Reese Witherspoon (Walk the Line) plays one of the workers helping them get settled. The other actors are equally unknown.
Generally, a good film with a good story that moves slowly. It's compelling but not enough to see it again.
