Why I Liked... The Other Woman/Love and Other Impossible Pursuits (2009)

(Dir. Don Roos Starring: Natalie Portman, Scott Cohen, Lisa Kudrow, Charlie Tahan)

I actually really liked this. And I’m like, totally anti-other woman/man.

Which I suppose is good for my opinion of Natalie Portman in light of not-so-recent Black Swan-related events.

Why I Liked... Into The Wild (2007)

(Dir. Sean Penn Starring: Emilie Hirsch, Marcia Gay Harden, William Hurt, Jena Malone)

I felt a surprising lack of sympathy for the main character.

Which I liked, because yeah, I’m three, four years late to this film, but I’ve heard nothing but praise for this film since and how people want to just Leave It All Behind like Christopher (Hirsch), so I was expecting some sort of life changing event to bring us, with Christopher, into the wild (ooh, title!)
