Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

Acting wise I think its Bullocks career best performance. Its not easy carrying a movie essentially by yourself for the majority of the movie. But she pulls it off. Some may feel some of the dialogue is cheesy in places but for me its needed at times to lighten the mood of a mostly tense edge of your seat experience.

Of course this is just my opinion.
You aren't alone in your opinion.

I've seen it three times as well. It is easily my best of 2013, and with no hesitation, in my top 25 all time; possibly in my top 10.

It's Cinematically unprecedented. A gripping, well acted, well structured film, with only two actors carrying the whole thing, and it kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time.

Black Dynamite (2009) - Black Dynamite is the greatest African-American action star of the 1970s. When his only brother is killed by The Man it's up to him to find justice.

Comedies generally aren't my thing, but I laughed a lot. The soundtrack is excellent. 7/10

Proof (2005) starring Gwyneth Paltrow as a daughter of a recently deceased mathamatician played by Anthony Hopkins. Towards the end of his life he loses his mind and she must fight her own demons to take up his mantle. Quite enjoyable film that shows just how good GP can be given the right material. based on David Auburn's Pulitzer Prize-winning play of the same title. (7/10)

Your Sister's Sister (2011) comedy/drama starring Emily Blunt and Rosemarie DeWitt who play sisters. Very low budget which shows off some beautiful scenery of Washington State. Not your typical story but enjoyable. 6/10

Dreamers (2003) directed by the great Bernardo Bertolucci tells the story of an American student in Paris in the 60's who meets up with your no so typical brother/sister. A sexual coming of age, movie homage with a killer sound track. While not for everyone I loved it. Cannot help that it also stared Eva Green (casino royal). 7.5/10
