Have you ever seen Iron Giant? There's a scene in there where the kid gets espresso. Very funny.

There's a similar scene in "Hoodwinked".

Watched Monster House (rented) three times. It was awesome. The motion capture techniques are off the scale in terms of realism. It easily stands on it's own from a dialog standpoint. I think the writers nailed the adolescent voice (even when it's cracking). The CG was outstanding, and the humor carried it. Enjoyed by everyone in the family.

Also watched Born Free. excellent, recommended.

Bush's Brain. A film that highlights the close, even intimate relationship between Karl Rove and George W Bush. There was considerable discussion about Rove's "dirty tricks" and his "hardball" political technique. None of which surprised me.

Deserted Station. A sparse, intriguing film from Iran, about a remote villiage and the people who live there and the "teacher" in the village. worth the rental.

North by Northwest. Hitchcock. Cary Grant. Eva Marie Saint. James Mason. It rocks.

The Sentinel. Michael Douglas, Keifer Sutherland, Kim Basinger, Eva Longoria. MrsV said will probably be a purchase. it was very entertaining.

Saw these On Demand, but they are available on DVD...

Prime--Nice love story with the glowing Uma and an unknown, adorable 20-something. Cat snarfing a beer was a good moment.

Little Manhattan--Another good love story. Seems like a kid movie at first, but not really.

Legend of Zorro - better than expected for a sequel.

Proof

Not sure how I ran across this, other than the amazing magic recommender at Netflix must have thrown me a popup.

It's a 1991 Australian film starring Hugo Weaving and Russell Crowe.

I don't want to use words like "quirky" to describe it, because it's much more substantial than that. Hugo Weaving plays a blind photographer. The other characters include his housekeeper, who constantly rearranges his furniture, and his friend, who tells him what's in his pictures.

Purchased Winged Migration last night. To those of us who've had the "pleasant flying dream" this movie comes very very close. I haven't indulged in "the making of..." featurette, yet. But it promises to be interesting.

Also purchased The Love Bug (nostalgic favorite) and Blue Planet. Haven't watched them yet. Or rewatched in Herbie's case.
