"I Think We're Alone Now" wasn't nearly as rough as I thought it was going to be. Though, the more I think about it, the more depressing it seems

I still have it on my mental to-do list to look up that 'Radionics' business Jeffrey was into.

Just watched Valley Girl for the first time since it originally came on HBO when I was about 12 years old. The only reason I watched it back then was because I heard it had partial nudity. Watching it now, it's like it's taking place on a different planet (the dialogue and the notion that Nic Cage's character is somehow punk rock,  and the music he likes, etc). Some of the dance moves happening at the party when he gets beat up are also mind-boggling.

Shane Black might write/direct Iron Man 3? OMG.

Val Kilmer has so many great lines in it. He owned that role.

I saw 'Enter The Void' last night. I watched it in the dark when I was so tired I was half-asleep, and that is probably the best way to watch it. Very strange and creepy and full of sadness, but the flashing lights and trippy parts and music were interesting.

Saw Biutiful today and thought it was fantastic. It had elements to it that were not common of that director. I was expecting Iñárritu's "All these people have something in common" style, which he is still hanging on to. But it was a good story and pretty freakin powerful, which isn't rare in his films. And Javier Bardem shines as usual. Anyone else see it? There is much to discuss about this one.

Anybody check out HBO's Sunset Limited yet? Good stuff

Slogged through a couple this weekend while the family was in various stages of getting over coughs & colds.

Due Date: really wanted to like this, but it left me kinda flat. That said, there was one little scene that absolutely killed me. I laughed so hard I woke up jr. from his nap.

Still Bill: really, really wanted to love this. I ordered it through the website directly this past August, and only received it a few weeks ago, so there was definitely some building expectations. Tons of classic footage and modern-day interviews that just make me love the guy even more...but...doesn't really stand alone as a great doc. In short, amazing subject, so-so film.

Just watched Sylvain Chomet's The Illusionist, and I'm pretty sure it's some kind of masterpiece.

I saw The King's Speech today and really loved it.

I saw The King's Speech today and really loved it.

I saw it earlier this week and agree - also tons of "oh my god, it's ______" moments - like every British actor who isn't doing Harry Potter is in this thing.

As well as some who are! It was strange when I recognized the guy who played Churchill from his role in the Harry Potter movies.

And how great was Derek Jacobi?
