Across the Universe, much better than I taught it would be. I was sur it was a girlie movie. Maybe it's my feminine side talking.

Enchanted. It was very cute, and didn't drag the way kid's movies usually do.

Music Within

The Netflix movie recommender is scary-accurate yet again. It told me that I would like this movie a lot, and I did. I'm not big on indie films, too many of them are either poorly made, or too heavy handed in terms of the social message you're supposed to carry away with you.

This was a just plain, nice movie. No spectacle to speak of (couple Vietnam firefights, but that's really it), but well written and well acted. It's the story of Richard Pimental, who spearheaded the Americans with Disabilities Act. Extras are scant, but one is a video of Pimental telling his story.

The Mist, based on a Stephen Kink novel.
Good, if you enjoy that type of action.

Touchin the void - was aweseome
PS. I Love You - So SO, made em emotional but wouldnt really rate it

Saw the Royal Tennanbaums last night. It might have been my mood but I found it totally hilarious.

Juno

I watched it OnDemand after work one day. I am glad I didn't go to a theater to see it. It was ok.

PS I love you.

A tear jerker. What's with these comedies lately ?

Into the Wild- damn good

The Cell - a very good sci-fi/thriller movie. The story is interesting and paced well and the visuals are spectacular.

Clodfobble · 05-18-2008, 09:35 PM

Yes, but ever since watching that movie, Law & Order: Criminal Intent has been completely messed up for me. Really changes the dynamic of the show when you can't stop imagining the head detective as a sadistic psychopath.

I have never seen Cell, but Vincent D'Onofrio just come across that way for me. He's just your average creepy-scary crazy guy.

Over the weekend I watched Michael Clayton. This was not the movie that I expected it to be based on the trailers. I did like it, though. I must say, it did include what was possibly the best short description of mental health commitment law that I have ever seen in a movie.

I also watched Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. That has got to be one of the funniest movies ever made.

Not on DVD (HBO onDemand strikes again) but I watched that indie documentary about Roman Polansky and the statutory rape trial, Roman Polansky: Wanted and Desired. I spent most of the 100 minutes just plain being annoyed. Oh, and I found another reason to despise the French.

For Fathers Day we watched "Big Fish" in Blue-Ray with my son and daughter in law. They recognize Big tales when they hear them.
It's really a movie about my brother in law. Sometime I'll tell you about mountain dogs in West Virginia that are bred with one set of legs shorter than the other so they can run around the mountains better. According to him, there are left handed and right handed dogs that can cover both sides of the mountain, depending which way the quarry is running.
