observations on three more David Tennant films

Recovery
This movie is heartbreaking and real to the point of ugliness.  Definitely worth watching, but it's also not for kids (there's sex and nekkidness involved), and you're going to need a tissue box.  He has a speech at the end about how, in his old life, he thought that everything was about him and that he was what's most important, but how now everything is about his kids.  Absolutely brilliant stuff, that, especially in light of this article speculating about his dating habits.

Secret Smile
So the moral of the story is, don't let the cops do their job, frame the bastard that was a bad influence on your brother and liked to control his girlfriends?  Not that i'm saying that David played a great guy or anything, but this is hardly justice, and they've committed a crime by framing him.

Love in the 21st Century - Reproduction
i'm beginning to think that Doctor Who was a huge fluke and David Tennant doesn't make any movies that don't have sex in them.  This one is hilarious, but of course there's the casual sex thing... not exactly a shining example of how one should live their life.  It's actually a little funny, she was working at a fast food place right near the professional part of town, which is how it was for me working at Quiznos.  There were so many really cute guys that came in there looking for lunch:  i was never tempted to lie to any of them and steal their sperm!  Incidentally, why is it that he always looks so much younger than all the women he plays next to that are his own age?  i feel like he looks 5-10 years younger than he actually is.
