Watched Atonement and Charlie Wilson's War.
Atonement was beautifully shot, but I hated the story.
Charlie Wilson's War was very entertaining.

The young girl was very good. The one lengthy tracking shot at the Dunkirk beach is a remarkable bit of cinematography.TheCalvinator24 wrote: Atonement was beautifully shot, but I hated the story.
However, the movie as a whole was rather boring. It's another one of those upper crust English films which gets Oscar nominations because of its general pedigree and the fact that people think a movie like this should get Oscar nominations.
I really wish Before the Devil Knows You're Dead had gotten the acclaim it should have rather than Atonement.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
