I've been catching up on "Dexter" episodes, so now I'm back to movies.

Finally saw "Hangover". Good stuff. I was ready for crass and it wasn't at all. (Very Judd Apatowish?) Funny and the story was great.

I also finally saw "(500) Days of Summer". Loved it. I love that kid. (Joseph Gordon-Levitt. I remember him in that bank robbery film and thought he was good in that too.)

Didn't go see "It Might Get Loud" but will consider on another weekend.

Coincidentally, today, I streamed "Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired" documentary. Eh, it's pretty good as far as documentaries go.

One of my very favorite films ever is his "Repulsion". Love those crazed out psychological thrillers, especially the ones from the '60s and in black and white.

The September Issue. It's my people's Citizen Kane.

"Let the Right One In".  Swedish vampire movie from last year. Not a jolting-scary movie, but definitely creepy and moving. Be sure to watch in Swedish, not the dubbed version.

Let The Right One In was fantastic.

Anyone seen In The Loop?  I am too lazy to read all the previous posts to see.  I thought it was the smartest, funniest movie I've seen in a really long time.

One of my favorites by Polanski is, "The Pianist". Damn good film.

Oh, and I also began "Tyson". After 10 minutes of not being to hear or understand Mike, I had to shut it down.

I thought Tyson was great. I did try several times to turn on the subtitles because I was eating cereal throughout most of my viewing but the captioning only seemed to capture the thoughts and feelings of the sporadic narrator.

Had high hopes that Pandorum would be one of those random awesome movies, like Doomsday about a year ago, but unfortunately it is not awesome nor random.

Zombieland approaches. Trepidation mounts but a starving man doesn't turn down Campbells Soup when its whats for dinner.

[K8teebug]

I think Zombieland has the potential to be super camper-ific.

not as good as Valentino: The Last Emporer . . . your people have no taste.

Well, I'm sure we can both agree we're awaiting the English version of Coco Avant Chanel badly.

this was a review i read about that film:    "Coco Avant Chanel looks great but it evokes nothing. Consequently, it fails."   ouch.

Wow, you're nearly as behind on movies as I am, and you don't even have a two year old to blame.

Good soundtrack, and I'd argue that Colin Farrell is a better country singer than Jeff Bridges.

I thought Crazy Heart was pretty good.  Great performances. 

I also thought Role Models was way funnier than the Hangover. The Hangover was BORING

I recently rented Fish Tank, Sugar, and Moon.  All good.

My favorite movie of late though was The Hurt Locker.
