Pass the Popcorn: Movies from where I Sit

We watched "World War Z" again last night.  We both find it gripping.  The pace is fast enough that niggling details escape your notice, and the plot has clean points to make that build to the solution to the problem.  It all has the illusion of realism and is over before you can worry over zombie physiology or likelihood.  The center of the story is Brad Pitt as a UN experienced navigator in the world's hot spots.  His lived in face, his gravitas even as he makes himself ordinary, like all great movie stars enforces our trust of his character.  There are twists and turns that surprise us, and a perfect balance between zombie chaos and intimate scenes.  This is a super well edited film, and the music enhances our dread and emotional involvement.  Each time I see nice details I missed the last time around.  One of the most powerful lines is about how we bury our heads in the sand until forced to look, and it has an obvious echo in climate change and the destruction of our environment.  This film is about something important without naming it:  it aims viserally.  Why not?  All the Al Gores in the world haven't awakened us.  Nor the hurricanes and storms.  Let's cut to the chase:  what if we ALL die?
