I kind of want to get this list over with. I don’t have much to say about Grace is Gone because it didn’t interest me as much. It’s a very depressing movie and I don’t recommend it for the holidays. It was nicely done on an obviously low budget.

The father, John Cusack, doesn’t tell his two daughter that their mother has died in the war. Throughout the whole movie he struggles of how he will tell them or when, for that matter. This is the part that bothered me the most. The whole point of that movie was to get to that moment in time when he tells his daughters, and when he finally does… his voice fades down and a soundtrack music begins. I felt cheapened. I wanted to hear his words so badly and it was muted.

Anyway, if you like John Cusack go see the movie. During the Q&A with John Cusack I learned quite a bit about him and I’m very impressed. So if you have a desire to go see this film, then please do so by all means, but be warned of its sadness. If you don’t feel interested, then don’t bother to go.
