Her

I was looking forward to Spike Jonze's "Her", which deals with the premise of a guy, Theodore (Joaquin Phoenix), who falls for an artificial intelligence-driven operating system, voiced by Scarlett Johansson, who is named "Samantha" in the not so distant future.

There are some truly seductive scenes in this film between Theodore and Samantha, and makes the premise almost too hauntingly real at times. Then the film gets a little predictable, and runs too long for my tastes (at nearly 2 hours), shave off 15 minutes, I might have liked it better.

I give it 2.75 stars, or a grade of B-.
