Don't know why it took me so long to watch "Monster Ball". That is one helluva good flick. But the ending sux. Am I alone in thinking that the stage is set for a sequel?

ETA: Thornton is truly a gifted actor. And Halle Berry is so hot.

Thanks for the recommendation Wolf and all. The Dar family watched The Prestige last weekend. Everyone enjoyed it.

My wife put State of Play into the cue. I had never heard of it, so was skeptical. But so far, it's really good. It's a BBC miniseries drama. 6 episodes. We've seen 2 episodes so far.

It's a crime drama. A tense, well done, thriller following a scandal surrounding a politician and a dead woman, and the ongoing investigation by police and reporters. Complicated enough that you have to pay close attention. I'm looking forward to seeing episode 3 tonight. It's been a long time since I've looked forward to tv.

They are doing an American version as a feature film. They were filming it around DC this past fall.

Tommy Lee Jones in "Electric Mist"
Co stars John Goodman.
Pretty good flick. Jones is a truly natural badass.

We've just started the HBO series Big Love, about the polygamist family. It's pretty good so far, although I could live with less shots of Bill Paxton's ass.

I just got all caught up with True Blood.

I was watching the Oscars the night Anna Paquin won and practically strangled herself before she could say thank you. It's hard to believe it's the same person.

Push. Very interesting movie. One of the better special effects movies out in a long time.

Defiance. A good WW2 movie about a bunch of Jews who survive in the forests. Only at they end to they tell you it is true. A really good drama. Not for the kiddies. Fair amount of violence. Worth the watch if you like WW2 movies.

I collect British Mysteries/Crime shows on DVD. If you ever care for some recommendations let me know.

I finally got to see The Iron Giant all the way through. He is the cutest robot ever; way, way cuter than Wall-E even.

Also Pineapple Express, the funniest and most violent stoner movie I have ever seen.
