Thanks for the recommendation. I've been seeing that in the video store and wondered if it was any good. I like Aaron Eckhart a lot.

Watched Keeping Mum earlier. Funny movie. Have also seen in the past few days: National Treasure 2, Night in the Museum (again). I liked National Treasure 2 a lot better than I liked the first one, even though I really don't like Nicholas Cage much at all. Night in the Museum is really a kids' movie, but I like it a lot.

Also tried to watch Gone Baby Gone, but I fell asleep. Not that it was a bad movie. I really liked what I saw. But, I was really tired the night we watched it (movies are a part of my best friend's strategy to provide stress relief for me since my mother broke her hip the other day) and I just sort of couldn't keep my eyes open.

Went and saw Wanted last night.

Any film that starts with the opener A Thousand years ago, which feature a loom of fate is not setting itself up as a neo-realist portrayal. Anyway, Wanted has Angelina Jolie, guns and fast cars to entertain one and what more can you ask for?

You're welcome! Hopefully you'll enjoy it as well.

We watched Beowulf last night. I guess it was alright. Perhaps it would have been better in 3D, but I just wasn't all that impressed.

It was the 3D that made the film for me - not intention of watching it on DVD as it wouldn;t be the same

If I hadn't been so impressed with the effects the film would have been just ok

Angelina Jolie to be shot and run over? Kidding, I know a lot of people like her

Anyways, I saw The Mindscape of Alan Moore, a pretty well made docu that relies mostly on interview footage with that messiah of the serious comic book. Moore, as may be expected from his profile, is an immensely knowledgeable and compelling, if sometimes really loopy speaker. His musings on everything from his childhood (in an incest community where "even the dog shares the same harelip") and aimless youth to getting into the comics writing biz and the inspiration for the various celebrated comics series he did (although he does not talk about Promethea here, maybe too recent?) make for great listening and his thoughts on spiritualism and the modern monotheistic vein of Western society also has several moments of interest, even if it sometimes gets a l'il too pompous and fruity. I also liked that the docu used a lot of cool imagery to underline Moore's words.

Edison
Timberlake,Spacey,LL Cool J,Morgan Freeman,Dylan McDermott,Cary Elwes,in no particularr order of importance.
verdict on Timberlake:he can act.
Some good stuff in there,and some standard thriller stuff.
Could have been better,but could also have been a LOT worse.
the ending
again,just my verdict:the director lost the plot a bit in the ending.
Won't say what it is ,but as denouements go,not good enough

The Dark Knight was awesome. Heath Ledger gave a career defining performance as a Joker. You will not be able to take your eyes away from the screen whenever he's on it. The other cast members particularly Aaron Eckhart were also good but Ledger was just leaps and bounds ahead of the whole cast.

Its a long movie so I caution you to not bring drinks to avoid any potty breaks.

I finally got to watch Hancock, and hey, I thought it was fun. I think the naysayers are being overly cynical, the two halves have a different tempo for sure, and the second half could have been better explored, but I didn't go in expecting too much.

I took a dirty-eared, squabbling wolfpack of nephews out to see the jackie chan/jet li film today.

if you go, take your kids. they will dig it to no end. the hero goes back to ancient chinese days to return the monkey king's magic staff to him to free him from a stone prison and together defeat the evil jade warlord. he learns chinese martial arts at the hands of a drunken daoist scholar/begger/immortal played by jackie chan sporting dreadlocks. and then there's the lovely sparrow, a girl hellbent on revenge on the jade warlord for killing her family. and a strange smartalec warrior monk played by jet li who also stars as the monkey king.

the kids will love it. I however was bored stiff anytime chan and li were not squared off against each other. the story is strange and the bumbling child of suburbia that is the hero was totally weak to me.

my two cents.

Clerks II - funny

Wall-e!

Definatly worth going to see on the big screen - good old family fun film!

[Hilarious Joke]

Kung Fu Panda

Not as good as I thought it would be. It was alright though.

We saw The Strangers this weekend. It was pretty intense. I had no expectations at all as we went on a whim and didn't even know what we were going to see. I like what the director did for the film, and the acting was top notch.
