Just finished watching "Exorcism of Emily Rose"
8/10 |
Yes: Live At Montreux 2003
Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, Steve Howe, Rick Wakeman, and Alan White. Recent enough to include material from Magnification. |
Manic -One of those "independent" films, which in this case means a lot of jerky, hand-held camera work with extreme closeups that's probably supposed to make you feel more a part of the action, but used too much it's distracting. There's also some heavy-handed cinematography, white-out lighting, and so on. It's about teenagers in an inpatient psychiatric facility, which when you first see it, seems to be part of a larger general hospital, and then you find that you're out in the country somewhere. There's a couple things they got wrong about the inpatient setting, but the accuracies outweigh these errors. The filmmaker doesn't just focus on the kids, you see the frustrations on the part of the staff as well, which makes this a very unusual film.

Fracture -- 8/10 Excellent. Anthony Hopkins rules. That Ryan Gosling fellow was a worthy foil and the other supporting actors Rosamund Pike and David Strathaim were pleasant to watch.
Unleashed -- 6/10 Good popcorn dvd for movie night. Surprisingly cohesive story intertwined with the obligatory/headlined martial arts action. Jet Li has some moves. Bob Hoskins in a rare villian role, done marvelously. |
Last movies I watched were The Magdalene Sisters and Rabbit Proof Fence. Both were very well done, and left me with warm fuzzy thankful feelings of only having had to deal with the regular angsty childhood one would have growing up in the suburbs of (accent free) Cary, NC.

The Last Mimzy: excellent. totally fun, non-objectionable family entertainment. I looked for one of those mimzy toys, but I guess they are no longer available.
Zodiac: Creepy, sad, riveting, and well acted. Amazing to think they never caught that guy. Some horrible scenes in the beginning, expecially a brutal and gruesome stabbing scene. Jake Gyllenhaal is wonderful and--Robert Downey Jr! I didn't even recognize him until after about the 5th scene he was in. Amazing actor. |
The Hamiltons. A nifty little indy horror film.
|
We watched the The Ex last night.
we're a fan of Zach Braff Next on the line is Perfume. The story the Scentless Apprentice is based on. ( so says my kid which kinda takes the pleasure out of that song for me) and then Perfect Stranger |

The suspect did die, yes, but they are saying that the DNA evidence didn't match him.
