It's Surprisingly...Not Bad

First Xmas movie of the season: It's Complicated. Although I cannot stand how director Nancy Meyers does romcoms, Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin can DO NO WRONG. Seriously. They just can't. It drags a bit, but overall - not bad!

On the docket:

Up in the Air
Nine
Sherlock Holmes

As you were. And best wishes to Anne as she recovers!

Burn Before Ending

Okay, I admit it: violence not my thing. Even though A History of Violence is one of my favorite films of the last ten years. Anyway, I watched almost all of the Coen Bros Burn After Reading (I think) today, until I couldn't. Call me a wimp, but I just can't enjoyably watch someone hacked to death with an axe. Just not my D, man.

Oh, and is it ax or...axe?

Not a Zombie - Just Awakened From a Deep Slumber.....

Hey~since 2006, a lot has changed. Google and Facebook have taken over the world, I've become a Penniless Student, while Eric has become a Corporate Lord. One thing remains: we still love the movies. We're back, dear readers, more insightful than before.

Okay. well. We're back.

I just finished watching last year's Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. Not bad, although I wonder how so many high school kids can run around Manhattan getting into so many clubs. Michael Cera's Arrested Development schtick is on the verge - over the verge - of getting old, but he still pulls off smart and witty pretty well.

Gotta run. More movies soon, I hope. Eric..? Your turn!
