They're not DVDs, but I just watched Watchmen and started on Planet Earth on Blu-Ray. Very cool.
Watchmen had deleted scenes restored, which may not be good for people who don't like long movies, but was great for me. I watched Planet Earth on cable, but the Blu-Ray has the original narration. No disrespect to Sigourney Weaver, but David Attenborough is the voice of nature.

I liked 'Gran Torino',from the point of view that it had shadows of the 'old' Clint Eastwood...especially at the end.
<spoiler below,for those who have not seen it yet> When he precipates the confrontation between himself and the Gang..there's more than a shade of his 'The Good,The Bad,and The Ugly' trilogy, but the outcome has more....significance.It reminded me more of John Wayne in 'The Shootist',his final movie.

I've just finished watching Ken Burns excellent series of documentaries detailing 'The American Civil War'.I left the experience feeling that I knew more than when I started out, and surely that is the aim of such a piece of work.

I tried to watch Paul Blart: Mall Cop
Couldn't do it. Went back in the little tyvek envelop after the first half hour or so. I hate it when all the good stuff is in the commercial.

Yup. Sucked. (Mall Cop)
I took a trip down nostalgia avenue (which I am renowned for), and watched American Graffiti today. Great movie. I actually WATCHED it this time since I wasn't making out with a girlfriend the whole time. Hard to decide which time was more fun.....

I just put in Crash. I think it's interesting, though I've seen it before I always find new stuff.
There is nothing on regular cable TV.

Crash is such a powerful movie, to me. I loves me some sharks and stuff... I've swam (dove) with them, but loving this movie.
![]() Don Cheadle is one of our underrated actors, as are many in this film.

Wait...
Which Crash? I prefer the Spader one... The Wife and I watched SAW V. She had to watch Nim's Island afterwards.
