The best thing about this movie is the characters are not black and white. The movie is shown through the eyes of a delinquent teenage girl named Mia. Michael Fassbender is brilliant as the charming boyfriend Mia’s neglectful Mother brings home one day. He shows Mia a kindness she has never received before and she struggles to understand it. There’s a voyeuristic quality as nothing feels rehearsed and the film doesn’t judge the characters for their actions.

If you are not yet on the Michael Fassbender is a genius and completely hot bandwagon, this movie will convert you. It is streaming on Netflix, so no excuses. You’ll thank me later.

Watched Domino on HBO OnDemand last weekend because a) it was a slow Sunday night, b) Keira Knightley and c) I’m always intrigued with script by Richard Kelly, like a rubbernecker to a car crash.
Three letter review: UGH.

Ages ago Jason told me I should see Intern starring Dominique Swain and even though the title and the starring actress made me think it would be some taudry thriller, I finally watched it on Netflix On Demand. Good thing I did because turns out, it’s hilarious and silly! I think I’m going to make this movie mandatory viewing for my own summer interns, though Lucky is a much nicer and more sane place to work than the fictional magazine in the movie called Skirt. The movie’s fashion cameos are a hoot as are the secondary players including Kathy Griffin, Joan Rivers and James Urbaniak.

Intern is that kind of surprisingly entertaining though decidedly C-level movie I used to stumble upon at the video store, when I used to frequent video stores, or on late night TV. Add it to your queue if you like implausible romantic comedies set in ridiculously campy workplaces.
