Miscellaneous Movie Musings

I finally got around to Changeling (thanks to Netflix). I wanted to like the film. Period film, LA 1920's-30's, cool. But I really did not like the film very much. Maybe the script did not build in that little extra preliminary lead up to make me care about this poor woman and her son. Maybe AJ's performance was just a little underwhelming? Compelling story, to be sure, but in the end, I came away wondering what was it about her performance that lead to an Academy nod?
