And so it ends. My journey to see all 2008 theatrical releases ends only 37 days late. While there could have been better films to end it on, maybe the other missed film of the year but still, Flash of Genius is a decent film.
I won't say I was invested in the film or it's characters but it moved and had a great cast. Outside of that it was just a typical movie based on real events. I had never heard of the whole wiper law suit so that was kind of inetresting but I don't know, it didn't really do anything for me.
I can't recommend the film but it's close to a recommendation quality. Just not all that interesting and reminds me of a non-documentary version of WHo Killed the Electric Car.
Movie - 2.5/5

Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist
One of the final two films I missed in 2008. I actually wanted to see this one but just never got around to it. I like Cera even if he tends to play the same character.
I really enjoyed this movie. To be fair it's nothing special or great but it's cute and charming and just kind of fun. A lot more entertaining than every rom com from 2008 and any from 2009 thus far. The plot is simple. A guy gets his heart broken but continues to send her mix tapes. She just throws them away and her rival friend person finds them and loves them. Due to odd circumstances they end up meeting at a party, pretending to be bf/gf and then shenanigans begin.
Like I said, it's nothing special but very enjoyable for what it is. The music is decent, the jokes feel natural enough and it moves at a very nice pace.
Movie - 3/5

What Just Happened
Another limited release film that I wanted to see. Unlike the others though this was an utter let down. I thought the Hollywood factor of the film from it's setting to it's high end cast would make it a great serious version of Entoruage but in reality it really did nothing for me.
It's one of the many cases where the trailer feels like a different film. It was kind of boring actually. About a film producer and his short comings. The cast does a fine job but I found it lacking in plot and the content was far from interesting. Not recommended at all.
