While I was in LA I saw three films, Letters from Iwo Jima, Breach, and Hannibal Rising. Enjoyed them all, Letters from Iwo Jima probably left the biggest impression on me. I wasn't blown away by it since this is not the first war movie that depicts atrocities committed by both sides of war, scared shitless soldiers, and universal sense of duty and honor. I had high hopes for Breach, which was based on the true story of FBI trying to find its mole. It was great through out but I kept on hopping there'd be bigger climaxes, it turned out to be just a tiny bit flat for me. Hannibal Rising is not a bad try at telling the story of early years of Hannibal, but, this new actor is trying a bit too hard to act like Anthany Hopkins in the other two movies and I find highly fraudulent.
