115 - 116 The Tracey Fragments

116 - The Tracey Fragments - I could have enjoyed this film had it been edited straight-up. The split screens or "fragmentation", usually 5 or more, was really distracting and exhausting to the eyes. Still, the story and characters and delivery of Ellen Page were compelling enough that I was able to finish it.

While a lot of films in the mainstream cover the effects of sexual abuse, this film focuses on other sociological factors and shows how these can easily lead a young soul astray.

115 - Battlestar Galactica Disc 4 ;)

114 - Charlotte Gray


I wonder if this movie helped make it an easy choice to cast Cate in The Good German. I really admire her ability to elegantly portray a loving and emotional feminine character that can easily and convincingly summon courage and toughness.
