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.

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.
