He died far too young... and it's made even worse, by the fact that, prior to his death, he was trying to lose the weight - He'd even given up smoking.

Although - Seeing John Candy, trim, with no cigar... that'd just be wrong, wouldn't it?

It wouldn't be him!

The Blind Side. Made me smile. Definitely a feel good movie. Even better that it's based on a true story.

The first season of In Treatment with Gabriel Byrne. Such a hottie!

Took a break from The Matrix Trilogy, and watched "Inglorious Basterds," for a second time.

Good Tarantino Movie. Need I add more?

Up - These things aren't supposed to make me cry at the beginning too!!

District 9 - not the movie I expected it to be (I expected a ripoff of Alien Nation). Way cooler.

Drawn Together - Cartoon "reality" series. Thoroughly bizarre.

Wings Of Desire

Could not have been more strange than 'Wings of Desire'

I didn't dislike it. It was outside of the category of 'pat' to be judged by a like or a not like vote.

Rock'n'rolla

A movie directed by Guy Ritchie involving shenanigans in the criminal underworld of London, so if you liked 'Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' and /or 'Snatch' you'll probably like this, I did.

If you didn't see Wings of Desire in a theater, then you didn't see Wings of Desire. The lighting in that movie was masterful. One of the top ten of all time for lighting. I know that would not translate on a tv screen or computer monitor.

The story, like most of Wender's work, is unusual.

I did not see it in the theater but I did watch it for the craft.
