rockitd - I agree - very good! :)
I saw a really sweet romantic-drama movie last night called "Last Chance Harvey." It stars Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson. I loved it, loved it, loved it. It is so nice to watch movies with older people who look normal - and who find love. Precious - somewhat predicatble, but also subtle. Nice, light movie. I really liked it.
I also watched another movie called Knowing. Awesome! It will keep you guessing. You've got to see it. So biblical in many ways (but not totally). I really liked it and would watch it again.
And finally, I watched a down 'n dirty shoot 'em up action-adventure future "spike channel" flick called Taken. I'm not normally into movies like that - but this one was pretty good. Action adventure - lots of violence (but not a lot of blood) - so not something for the kids. But it was quite an interesting movie. Reminds me of Charles Bronson - remember that every movie seemed like it would start with someone who bothered his daughter or his family - then he'd just go ballistic for the rest of the movie. Same kind of thing.
Liam Niesson was AWESOME!!!

Un Gioco Da Ragazze (A Girl's Game)
Italian drama concerning the ruthless namesake activities of popular, pretty, and very much prosperous Italian high schoolers, trying to find their latest, but still juvenile-cruel methods of alleviating their pubescent boredom: a handsome new literary teacher. In many ways, Un Gioco Da Ragazze feels like sexier, Italian version of (Catherine Hardwicke's) 13teen, or the Lindsay Lohan movie, Mean Girls--which makes it all the more harder to watch, especially given the ending, which I don't know if it's supposed to be a day dream sequence or not, but it definitely left a very bad taste in my mouth.
It's supposedly made around the current fad in Italian popular cinema, concerning the (genre of) "nightmare teen dramas."

La Petite Jerusalem (Little Jerusalem)
A French drama about a young Jewish high schooler or collegiate, trying to find herself amidst the insular traditions of living inside an Orthodox Jewish, Parisian suburb, and falling in love with a local Algerian man. From what I could vaguely remember, I think director Karin Albou derived her original story from her own adolescence. The ending is somewhere between bittersweet and tragic IMHO...

Bedtime Stories - surprisingly, I liked it!!! I'm not a big Adam Sandler fan at all, but this was funny.

"Julie and Julia"
The movie needed less Julie and more Julia.
It made me hungry for sole meuniere.

"The Taking of Pelham 123"
--on the plane
The story was fine when the action took place underground but when they went to street level the story fell apart.

Ponyo
A sweet animated film about a fish that becomes human. Lots of beautiful animation, though a bit kiddier than the usual Studio Ghibli/Hayo Miyazaki film. But that isn't really a bad thing.

10,000 Black Men Named George - This was really good. I enjoyed the history lesson. It's a good one.
The Soloist - I liked it and the fact that it's a true story is cool. I also enjoyed the extras on the DVD where I got to see the real people behind the story. That was great.

Now I did not realize that The Soloist was based on a true story at all.

This week ive seen two movies.
Today i saw X-Games 3D..which was cool.
and over the weekend I saw Inglourious B*sterds, and it was a great movie! some language, yes ive assumed we've gotton used to this by now, and so have your kids (assuming they go to public school and are past the 3rd grade). DOESNT MAKE IT RIGHT but you gotta accept it at some point. So if you can ignore cursing, like a good amount of violence(on film), and some good humor against nazi's, im sure you'll enjoy this film as much as i did. if only real life went the way of this film...

"Public Enemies"
--on the plane
Very good movie by Michael Mann. A grim romance on the criminal myth.

Inglorious B******s
Maybe I should nickname this, (Tarantino's) Inglorious Remake, for CW's standards & practices   . Any who, I thought the Pulp Fiction helmer made quite a masterpiece--IF masterpiece means directing an ultra-violent--yet, revisionist-escapist, WWII movie!  All I can say, without hopefully not offering plot spoilers is that there's...
A) some notable cameos in this movie, such as French actress Melanie Doutey (i.e, the doomed bar girl), Mike Meyers putting on his best, post-Love Guru--uh, I mean Austin Powers work, as a British Army officer, and some off-camera likes of Samuel L. Jackson (he did some narrating), and Harvey Keitel (he was the voice over in one phone scene)!
B) the aforementioned, historical revisionism, meaning for those who have already seen it, the climatic battle scene.*
*you know the one...
& C) how this remake seems to make ample references to not only pre-existing WWII genre films, but also with real-life, high-brow film culture. In short, there's a very good reason why Tarantino's Inglorious remake is described as a war movie about other war movies! Maybe it's ol' Quentin trying to bring back more film snobbish, scholarly cred, none of which has been noticed since Pulp Fiction!
Personally, I have to say I'm impressed by how Tarantino was able to direct flawlessly with a more international cast, like Germany's Til Schweiger (from Goodbye Lenin!), Diane Kruger (in her most hammed up take on Marlene Dietrich), alongside Brad Pitt, whom I thought chewed up his Tennessee-bred, Army Lieutenant to hilariously comical limits (though, I believe the actor playing SS Colonel Landa is by far the best scene-stealer to date)!
