Small Movies

I've seen a few movies in the last month or so, which is fairly unusual. Too many movies these days seem aimed at teenage boys — emphasis on all action with a thin plot, all technology with a thin plot, usually accompanied by what can best be characterized as bad acting.

I seem to be gravitating to what I call "small movies." These films aren't necessarily indies (though they may be) but non-blockbusters where the story and the acting are the distinguishing characteristics.

I've previously posted something on the must-see documentary of the year, Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth. I'll add some more observations on movies I've seen lately.
