It was nice to see Tobey Maguire back on the big screen. The film wasn't to my liking, but Maguire was not one of the issues in the film. He gave a solid, emotional performance.
2. Y: The Last Man
I do dislike it when a film doesn't tell a complete story, instead telling just part of a story with plans for a franchise. Y: The Last Man did that, but it didn't bother me as much as it usually does. The film just had so much fun energy to it.
1. Born in Brooklyn
I really enjoyed Born in Brooklyn. The cast was great and the story was not what I was expecting - in a good way. I could see it garnering at least a few GRA nominations (Best Director, Best Supporting Actor & Actress, Best Original Story, Best Production Design, etc.).
This season has had a lack of quality female lead roles, even more so than usual. At this point, I don't even think there is a front runner in the Best Actress category. It's likely going to be a toss up in terms of the nominations, with some actresses getting nominations that probably wouldn't be nominated in other seasons.
2. Box Office
The box office was a little light this round, even with Y: The Last Man being a solid hit. And looking at the upcoming schedule, outside of the upcoming sequels, I don't think there are any sure things for the rest of the season.
1. Sabbatical Recovery
I was not a fan of Sabbatical Recovery. It was long and depressing, and didn't really seem to go anywhere at the end of the day. It wasn't a complete train wreck, as some thought clearly went into the story, but I think those thoughts ended up focused on the wrong aspects of the plot.
