Re: Movies Watched Recently
Iron man...although there wasn't enough action for my liking...I didn't feel it lived up to my expectations

that's a good one 
i saw a bunch in the past month or so. let's see.
The Darjeeling Limited: boooring. i laughed about 4 times.
The Kite Runner: they butchered one of my favorite books. while i cried through the last third of the book, most of the sad scenes in the movie made me laugh (well, definitely except for the rape scene). the movie was completely devoid of emotion, especially since they portrayed certain characters as more (or less) sympathetic for no apparent reason.
Shortbus: interesting, but um... basically pornographic. im not exaggerating.
Notes on a Scandal: interesting and engaging. my favorite of all the ones i've seen recently
El Crimen del Padre Amaro: well done and interesting, but left too many questions unanswered. gael garcia bernal is 
Walk Hard: vaguely funny, but i fell asleep
Baby Mama: cute and often laugh-out-loud funny, but the ending was way too convenient to be acceptable.

The Visitor -
it was pretty good... one that I never would've seen if someone hadn't made me go.

Re: Movies Watched Recently
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.
Beautiful film. Casey Affleck, Brad Pitt and Sam Rockwell are brilliant in it. Slow paced, but that just adds to the tension. Go watch it if you haven't already.

I definitely agree, fantastic movie, excellent acting, dialogue and storyline, a real slow burner.

Re: Movies Watched Recently
The United States of Leland. an old one but good one. dunno why it didn't receive much publicity.
Ryan Gosling is an awesome actor. probably one of my favorites, if not number one.
