The Most Unknown (2018)
Interesting scientists, not a lot of science.
This was more of an introduction to scientists with the most cursory touching on their areas of research. I enjoyed it as that, once I realized we were not going to actually get much science other than elucidating what current questions were being pursued. Probably this would be a good intro to high school kids who are considering careers in scientific fields. I thought the concept of having interdiscisciplinary scientists interview one another was great. The scientists chosen are leaders and were quite personable, not arrogant in the least. I would have preferred to have more details about their work, though.
Hide and Seek (2005)
Awful writing and poor direction, unsalvagable by good actors
Dakota Fanning's performance was super, but DeNiro slept-walked through it. He's on my list of favorite actors, but I have no idea why he took this role.
The direction and editing were sloppy, and the writing even worse. I watched it because I like the people in it, and kept hoping it would improve. Sadly, it didn't, despite decent performances by Elizabeth Shue and Famke Janssen (sorry if her name is misspelled.)
The surprise ending was just plain lame. I think the idea had some merit, but it just wasn't well written or otherwise believable.
I recommend watching just about anything else.
