Captain Phillips - solid film, starts really well but thought the second half was a bit "eh" and I wasn't really affected by much that went on. Thought Hanks was best at the very end when he was just shaking with shock and fear.
Veronica Decides to Die - Sarah Michelle Gellar suffers from depression so tries to take her life. Survives, but in the process causes herself to have a fatal injury which she'll die of within weeks anyway. She then begins to see the good things in life and falls in love etc etc. Okay enough commentary on depression for the first 45 minutes or so, but after she begins wanting to live it all seems a bit rushed and convenient. Rest of the cast was really bad.
