I just saw the Perfect Storm. (I know...it's late, but hey, 4 kids=no movies).
Good special effects. Could have used a woman on board to liven the story.
In retrospect.....they should have thrown the fish overboard and waited out the storm. |

Good news, I've just learned Vatel is scheduled to open on Christmas day. Bad news, it opens only in New York and Los Angeles. Everybody else will have to wait a few more weeks to see it. |

Patriot, Mel Gibson, was a good one and highly emotional. |

They use boom cranes to prepel through the air very steadily, on a separate screen and then add to an additional type screen. (computer graphted) It was a very cool movie! |

2 of my favorite movies (completely different from one another) are "This is Spinal Tap" and "Shine". They're both about music, but that is the only similarity. Spinal Tap is one of the funniest movies on the planet.

I just saw "Oh Brother, Where Are Thou?" yesterday. It was funny and pretty good- George Cloony was very good, I have to say. Given the gritty tough guy parts he's been playing for years, this was a pleasant surprise. I'd give it 2.75 out of 4 stars. The music isn't my favorite, but I did like "Man of Constant Sorrow".

Somebody I know just saw that and recommended it too. I guess I'll have to see it. Last night, we saw the movie "Snatch" (you have to say the words 'the movie' before you say the title). If you liked Pulp Fiction, you will probably like this one. But it's pretty bloody. Brad Pitt pulls off his accent pretty well. |

I loved Crouching Tiger... I saw it twice even!
Another favorite is Big Lebowski. I didn't like it (or didn't get it) the first time - but the second time it was hysterical! I especially love Jesus the hispanic bowler clad in purple.
I would recommend any Coen brothers film.
I just bought a copy of Big Night because I have rented it so many times. I like the passion and the futility. That last scene where he makes the omlette is just beautiful...

| | | What about "Cold dog soup"?, I am a huge fan of dark comedies. Clerks and Mallrats, whew, I might be stretching it a little but I really liked those two. Swimming with Sharks is good too. Has anyone ever seen "fishing with John" on IFC? And if anyone happens to have recorded the fishing with John marathon.... sure would like to get a copy, they never show it anynmore. Thanks. | | |
