So I saw Pacific Rim. And I’m reviewing it.
I’d like to do some other, smarter, lead in, but as I’m interested in seeing people’s reactions to the film, I’m not putting in any opening spoilers. Between the successes, failures, and unexpected opinions I’ve seen on film, I’m interested in getting other people’s reactions, unaffected by mine!
In fact I was surprised by some of my reactions and some of what I saw.
So, now with that said, let’s get to my opinions. Kind of spoiler-free.

SUMMARY: An indispensable, insight-filled companion to “Getting Things Done” – just read that book first.
I know a lot of you would really like to understand how the economic meltdown happened. Well, OK some of you, as we’re not all econogeeks like yours truly. It’s kind of hard to wrap your mind around everything that happened.
May I then recommend The Flaw which is available at Netflix? Weirdly it’s tag “what happens when the rich get richer” doesn’t really sum up the film’s scope, but I suppose it sells well.
It’s an interview-based documentary on the economic meltdown of 2008, told via interviewing people in the middle of it, analyzing it, and involved in it. Stringing together these interviews it creates a smart narrative – and does so without a lot of doomsaying and drama. It’s an oddly human take on a horrible occurrence, which is one of its strengths.
