Watched this weekend:
It's All About Steve... strangely good... though disturbing
Law Abiding Citizen... probably one of the most violent, shock-action and entertaining movies I've seen in a long time. Definitely different from the norm.

Spun. The movie is about Meth heads...sufficiently alarming and generally good acting although not nearly as good as Requiem for a Dream.

Crazy Heart - good, but not academy award winning actor material. I think it was a make-up call for Big Lebowski
Hurt Locker - very good, but not movie of the year worthy..in my meaningless opinion. I thought Inglorious Bastards was much better, and i dont even particularly like Tarantino sp?
The Damned United- awesome, best movie I've seen in a while

Had the flu so watched a few movies. Primer: if you saw PI and liked it you will like this. Ezrats is a nerd and will likely enjoy it, so is Pra. I suggest you guys save gas and ride is Ezrats Element to rent and watch it together. Second movie was Let the Right One In. Subtitled Swedish vampire movie. It is from a currently hip region and therefore whether he liked it or not Slim would say it was great. I found it to be a surprisingly sweet and entertaining movie despite my lack of cool.

I liked Goldsworthy better before I saw the movie. What an old crank.

re-watched that made for TV movie "The Day After". Dated, probably a lot of inaccuracies, but still gets the message across. Went to bed feeling bummed.
