Got "Revolutionary Road" of netflix this weekend. If you want an aggressively unlikable movie featuring characters you're given no reason to care about fighting constantly, this movie is for you.

I saw this in theaters with my girl friend (since she's a huge fan of Leo and Kate). It did suck. I don't care if people say I don't like it because I'm not picking up on the deep meaning and the artistic aspect of the film. I fully understood those aspects, and the film still sucked.

I saw Choke this weekend...it was decent.

I watched 3:10 to Yuma this weekend. It wasn't brilliant or high ar or anything but it was a fun movie and the scenery was nice.

I keep meaning to watch this movie, it seems to be on the movie channels a lot lately.

Oh, I also saw The Godfather for the first time ever. I'm not very good at movies.

Saw this


its better than avg pic.-typical courtroom drama in the end. could have been edgier - since the hero was clearly a warped person.

Yeah, seems like I've seen it on at about midnight every night for a couple weeks.

after the cardinals $#$% loss, I watched an intersting flick - The Swimmer

1968 film starring Burt Lancaster. Based on short story where Ned Merrill (Lancaster) is drinking at a pool party in a club-ish area like the Hamptons -and decides he can swim his way home. Imiagine Don Draper character going pool hopping - and the story unfolds. You'll notice a lot of comparisons to the present day Mad Men style - as one IMDB reviewer puts it, the Swimmer is a perfect capture of an aqua-blue cocktail-laden era - like this



Certain elements of the movie are dated, especially an overdone soundtrack -but the stylistic and kitschy elements are worth the viewing alone. Several good moments. Its one of those movies where there is wealth of untold backstory.

Also, a young Joan Rivers has a small role in this film. Well cast.

My little Podunk, one horse town library continues to amaze me. Just rented the recently released Criterion version of Hobson's Choice. 1953 David Lean film starring two of my favorite actors, Charles Laughton and John Mills. Impossible for me to not love this one.

I'm not ashamed to watch a kids movie every now and then. And Race to Witch Mountain was a favorite book when I was a kiddie. So I just got that movie - ya, the one with the Rock, haha.

Anyway, it is what it is. I'm enjoying it. The Rock just got into an argument with a dog, who the alien kid is translating for. Kids movies are fun.
