A conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking.

Young Cassidy (1965) - 4/10
Starring Rod Taylor, Julie Christie, Maggie Smith, and Michael Redgrave - a great cast, but they couldn't save it. Based on the life of playwright Sean O'Casey, this film suffers from something I call the "leprechaun effect", where the Irish are depicted as roguish clowns who speak in metered verse and break into song and dance at a moment's notice - it totally undoes the serious nature of the story. Thank goodness for an exceptionally violent riot scene near the beginning to balance it all out...

The Grey 6.5/10. A fight for survival in the wilderness of Alaska. I loved the ending.

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. 6/10. It was ok but not nearly as good as the firt one. Shea LeBuff was kind of annoying... I don't like him much as an actor.

Do the wolves act "realistically"? Usually packs are scared to death of people.. or simply watch them from a distance. I heard one of the key protagonists in the film is a pack of wolves.
But.. regardless if they drop the ball on that, Alaska's gorgeous; hopefully they have some footage of the Inner Passage (took a Princess cruise through it.. highly recommended; glacier hiking/dog-sledding/etc on port stops).

Shea's candle seems to be flickering a bit.

The Wolves were handled very well. It's not until the very end that you discover why they are acting like they are. Most of their scenes are at night.

Awesome! I'll catch it tomorrow. 
Loved wolves my whole life, and belong to a wolf preservation society (seen packs in person quite a bit, etc too), so I hate when they're misrepresented  in cinema, etc.
I've probably mentioned that multiple times... just bugs me that they're always so "savage/evil" in movies.

Zodiac - followed the investigation pretty well. Great casting of John Lynch as the killer.
8/10; I'm glad they didn't put the typical "Hollywood ending" on it, but then again... Fincher respects cinema.
