Les Miserables

A mixture of fantastic, adequate, and poor performances make for a "good" movie, but not a great one.

Anne Hathaway absolutely steals the show SO thuroughly, and is in it so short a time, the rest just feels inferior. 

Cinematography was a similar mixture of superb and confoundingly awful.  Various techniques were used to purposely make the actors stand out and it leads to some distracting shots.  Things that should have been set pieces were green screened, and stuff, just confusing. 

I am very rarely blown away by the makeup department anywhere, but this is one where they absolutely NAIL it perfectly.  Yeah, it's minimalistic no fancy effects, but just expertly crafted when you know what you're looking for.

We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?
