Contains Spoilers Throughout.

This exists to record my thoughts on movies, and occasionally other stuff. Too often my thoughts on something go unthunk for a while and eventually forgotten. I figure if I invested time in something in the first place, it's worth a few more minutes to make sure I remember it.

The Descendants (2011)

The description of this movie does it no favors, but then I saw the trailer and as soon as George Clooney started narrating I was on board. It’s a really good movie, not a typical “family dealing with death” movie, but it does hit those points.  They sit there and yell angrily at a woman in a coma instead of sitting around crying (they do that as well eventually).  The little detective story with George trying to find the man who cuckholded him is really fun.  The relationships in this movie feel very real.  It was well acted, written, directed, I really don’t have a bad thing to say.
