Just watched "Brick"
I was very, very impressed.. Like reading a Dashiell Hammett novel with a high school setting. Most original film I've seen in a long time. Nora Zehetner is too fine.

I don't know why but that movie felt like watching paint dry. Original, sure. But excruciatingly painful pace.

I really, really liked Brick as well. I watched almost all the bonus features.

Just finished "Be Kind ReWind" and it is definitely one of Jack Black's better movies. Mos Def did great and if you've seen "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" then you'll pickup pretty early that this is done by the same director.
Anyone seen this?

If you get a chance to see "In Bruges", do...
Just saw it tonight. Great movie. Collin Farrel (sp?) was surprisingly good. From the trailers, I thought it was more of a comedy... There is a lot of humor in it... but it's more of a drama/dark comedy. |

I didn't like it as much as I should have because I felt mislead. But it was a pretty good movie. Several things I loved and some things I hated. But I was on the edge of my seat when the chase began.

Watched the "Bucket List" last Friday night. I was a little hesitent as I hate manipulative movies, and people dying from Cancer would certainly lead one to think this might be a new version of "Terms Of Endearment" or "Dying Young". But after about 10 mins my fears were calmed as I realized , I'm watching two of the best actors of the last 30 years here. Freeman and Nicholson. The movie actually is heartwarming without being overly manipulative. And a kind of a "male bonding" film, much in the vein of "Shawshank Redemption" , Freeman not withstanding. I then realized Freeman could read the phonebook as narrative and I'd be revited. Anyways, great film, great ending and great supporting role by Sean Hayes. Never was a fan of "Will and Grace", and the only other thing I had to judge him by was his fantastic potrayal of Jerry Lewis in the TV movie "Dean and Jerry" also highly recommened.

Ugh, hated the Bucket List. Everything it could have been and what it was makes me want to kill Rob Reiner. Two of the best actors and you still manage to only make a mandatory "feel good" heartwarming story.
