The movie trailer for Whiteout is exciting, intriguing and cringing, but the actual movie’s none of these. Going into the film I was feeling anxious to get my action fantasy buds popping, and actually did with an exciting shootout on a Russian air transport. Wow this looks like it’s going to be a great film I thought. BUT, a quarter of the way into the film I found myself disillusioned by a slowly paced crime film that featured some of the poorest acting coming from some of the stars I have most idolized.
If you would like to see what the editor of a hugely popular magazine goes thorough day after day, then the documentary The September Issue should fill the bill. Crammed with an ‘all in a days work’ philosophy, director R. J. Cutler provides a keen insight of an industry that caters to a woman’s style and ego.
