MILLION DOLLAR BABY

***/5

Pretty good, if overrated, drama that unfortunately won the top Oscar prize of Best Picture over more-worthy films like ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND or Michael Mann's COLLATERAL, etc.

THE TERMINAL

**/5

Like Terry Gilliam's THE BROTHERS GRIMM, Steven Spielberg directs not a terrible movie, but instead a bland mediocre "meh" film that reminds me of a super-duper jumbo jet that is about to take-off, but then pops a flat tire, and has to cancel the flight. Superb art direction(and yes, the whole airport it seems was a giant set!) that maybe was Oscar-nominated worthy.
