Hereafter (2010)

  This was one boring movie.  They could have named it Purgatory, because it feels like you would need the prayers of the faithful to save you from it.  After watching this movie, I have a better understanding of what eternity would feel like.

The thing is, I really like Clint Eastwood movies.  You know this.  I have raved about other ones he's done.  But, statistically, they can't all be winners.  This one was nominated for an Oscar last year for Best Achievement in Visual Effects, probably for the awesome tsunami wreckage in the first 15 minutes.  After that, it's really not worth watching.

Marie Lelay (Cécile De France) is a French journalist vacationing in probably Thailand when she is caught in a tsunami and dies for a couple of minutes.  After that, she becomes super interested in what happens to you after you die so she can make sense of what she saw.

Marcus (Frankie and/or George MacLaren) is a London boy who loses his twin brother (Frankie and/or George MacLaren, seriously these kids are so identical that they each got billing for both characters.  That's just creepy) after some bullies chase him in front of a car.  After that, he becomes super interested in what happens to you after you die so that he can contact his dead twin.

George Lonegrin (Matt Damon) is a factory worker who used to be a big-time medium but left everything behind when it became overwhelming.  He knows exactly what happens after you die and he doesn't want to have shit to do with it since it basically ruined his life.  His brother (Jay Mohr) keeps trying to push him back into the business because of all the money to be made.

Eventually, and I do mean eventually, all three stories come together.

This one gets both the Christy tag, since she and I watched it together, and the Rob tag since it was his movie.  The copy he let me borrow had no subtitles so I had to have Christy read me half the movie, which presented its own source of hilarity.
