The Vanishing (original) from France. I will never even attempt to watch the American remake with The Dude and Jack Bauer!
 
I try to watch this movie every couple years. It's in my top ten!

Julie and Julia
Watched it with the wife on Saturday.
Enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. May have to go buy her cookbook now.

The Girlfriend Experience

recent steven soderberg movie. about all anyone said when it was released last year was that it starred an ex-porn star and wasn't any good.

turns out the ex-porn star angle is irrelevant, and the movie is pretty decent. not great, but different and interesting. it's really just a look at a character, a somewhat high class escort, with a sketch of a story, told in a broken up kind of way that soderberg is into.

as always, the cinematography (he shoots his own movies) is mind-blowing. every shot is beautiful. i'd say worth the rental, for something different.


Sounds like Soderburg's status quo these days.  So how was Sasha Grey?  I have heard so much about her role, except you know...how she actually acted.

good choice.

myself though its not a movie. i watched the first part of "The Pacific" last night.  pretty good, a little more speedy so far than "Band of Brothers" was but its gunna be good.

she was fine. it wasn't a role that required huge depth, but what it did require she did a good job with. it was a low-key 'real' kind of performance, and it worked.

Moon

That was pretty great.


I might watch that tonight

Don't know how I missed this one.  Bumped it to the top of the Netflix queue.


Finally got around to watching this. It was good, but not the story I was thining it would be. I don't want to reveal too much, but I just thought it was going to be a little more of a head trip than it turned out to be. Still, Sam Rockwell does a good job.
Did I mention at one point in my life I became so cynical that I ended up an optimist?  If you think everything's gonna suck, eventually nearly everything in life becomes a pleasant surprise.

The Fourth Kind..meh..thought it had potential but they kept mixing real footage into the film - which is fine but it just wasn't done well..some the real video was freakin' creepy as hell..just no real flow at all

Up In The Air

this may be the single most generic movie i've ever seen.
they brought bland to a new level of total blandness.

so let me get the message of this movie straight: it's better in life to have relationships with people than to-- wait, let me check my notes-- than to not have such relationships. wow. powerful stuff.
