I'd be tempted to go now. I can certainly see why he was nominated for an Oscar. I think he gave a dang good performance.

Ditto. Glad you enjoyed his performance Joe, outstanding.

What's the verdict on this one? I haven't seen it since release.
I have seen it 5+ times, and look forward to seeing it again.
Thumbs up!

Have you seen, The Reader?
w+a. nope. I haven't. As I posted last week I've been seriously remiss in seeing movies the past 6 months or more so now I'm in catch up mode.
Next weekend on tap is The Reader, Benjamin Button or Revolution Road. Which one first boys and girls?

Haven't seen these three yet, but my wife has, and recommends them.
I hear you on the six months thing. Seems like my movie theater sprees each year come in two waves:
1. Summer blockbusters (Batman, Cloverfield in '08).
2. Pre-Oscar heavies (Jan/early Feb).
I'm trying to get back into the habit of seeing at least one movie or one museum/art gallery on a regular basis. Both are great ways for me to get out of the house (I telecommute) and just drop out and relax a little.
PURPLE has some volunteer work this afternoon so I'll likely catch a flick she doesn't want to see with my youngest son. Doubleheader weekend!

It was on at 4:30 this morning when I got up, and it grabbed my attention.
More like you wanted to grab something.

Beerfest
Seemed kind of inappropriate to watch it while drinking wine but it just turned out that way.

I just saw this today. Somewhat predictable, but a nice performance by Clint nonetheless.
Your thoughts?
Slumdog Millionaire
Absolutely superb! It was vibrant, exciting, and real. BRAVO!

Ummm... I think you have a very different relationship with your parents than I do with mine. I don't think anyone should watch that movie with parents or kids...
And, W+A, WHAT were you doing up at 4:30? You are as bad as I am!
Good movie, though.
It's not quite a movie, but DomnVin and I have been watching a lot of Schoolhouse Rock lately. I am seriously debating bringing it to school and showing my freshmen....
I watched Apocalypto last night. I was entertained, thumbs up.

You should; those annoying songs saved my bacon in school numerous times. You just can't get them out of your head.

I have always thought sleep was a little overrated.
I'm good with 5 hours.
I'm going to see Taken on saturday morning before I pick my son up. People at work say it's a good film.

It wasn't directed at him. The last post I directed at him was in the waiting for 2005 futures thread. He did see that one.

But I do see K's post. It is a good film isn't it? I wish Malick would/could put out films more often. Have you seen this K?
If the implication is that indyb0b doesn't see my post, he's simply lying again, like he did in the waiting for 2005 futures thread.

Nope. Haven't seen it. I'll keep my eye out for it here.
Thanks, IB.

Sure. If you aren't used to Malick's pacing, be warned that some describe it as plodding. I'd describe it as beautifully layered. His film "Thin Red Line" is at or near the top of my short list of best war movies ever made. I think his films suffer on the small screen though.
