If you watch Rabbit Proof Fence you will enjoy it.

I saw the Fighter last night and it was very good.

This isn't quite fair. You've still got stuff like Angels in America, The Merchant of Venice, You Don't Know Jack, Donnie Brasco, Heat (okay he's wild in that, but he's playing a coked-up cop so I think it's unfair to knock him for that), Carlito's Way all after that. Pacino still brings it here and there.
Didn't Pacino yell and call Spacey a corksucker in GGR too?

He called him a ...runt. Anyway, that monologue is awesome.

Yes, but he didn't yell "HOO-AH!" or some other such hokey, annoying [expletive]. His yellings were all top-notch insults in GGR.

'The Good The Bad The Weird' is a lot of Korean fun streaming on Netflix.

Tron was pretty awesome.

Don't spend extra for 3d if you don't have to, it's cool and all, but it was just novelty.

Watched Exit Through the Gift Shop last night. Really fun, whether it's real or not.

Watched Blue Velvet for the 2nd time. I think it holds up remarkably well. Kyle Maclachlan's performance is overlooked. He holds the film together by counterbalancing the more surreal aspects to give the film real tension.

True Grit was fantastic. The end sort of petered out but nonetheless a really good movie. Despite the violence, which my daughter handles well, it was a great movie for a young girl with the strong young female character.
