Which of the multiple versions? If it's the 2003 (directed by Takeshi Kitano) I thought that one was fantastic.

I've been sick this weekend. I decided the best way to deal with not feeling well involved plenty of fluids (including some port) and bed rest. In addition to the cold, though, I may come down with a bad case of "remote thumb!"

The Believer - Really intense independent film. Depending on who you talk to, this is either a horrible (Simon Wiesenthal Center) or great (Anti-Defamation League) film. The story is about self, identity, our relationship to God and each other ... viewed through the experience of a Skinhead whose past is about to be revealed.

Casino Royale - After much trepidation, I decided to watch this. I am happy to report that the script stays far more in line with the book than many of the 1970s (Moore) Bond films that lifted the titles and little else. Daniel Craig is more than merely acceptable as Bond. Okay, he's great. He's hot, he's Bond as Ian Fleming described him.

The United States of Leland - Slowly paced psychological study of a young man in Juvenile Detention. They hint at what happened, never fully reveal anything.

16 Blocks - Bruce Willis can't make a bad action-adventure movie.

Two Re-Watched:
Borat - So funny you have to watch it over and over, because so much of it is completely unbelievable and you have to be sure you really saw what you just saw.

Kung Fu Hustle - I hear laughter is the best medicine. If so, I should be better in time for work tomorrow.
