We watched the Book of Eli yesterday - an odd, odd ending, pretty dark post-apocalyptic tale, but not without hope.

That was a twist, wasn't it?

I don't take my water for granted.

I watched ''The Town" Directed and Starring Ben Affleck. I'm not a
Affleck Fan but this was entertaining if you like Cop and Robber movies. It had a 50's ending , i'll leave it to your imagination to figure out what that means.

Kokopup i have to agree with your review on The Town, i found it quite good, not the best movie i have ever seen or the worst, probably rate it a 6/10,not sure i would have paid to see it though, luckily i had free tickets, so it did not matter.

watched "The Deer Hunter" on cable last night - I know it's been ranked as one of the 100 best movies of all time but I had nightmares after watching it.

I really want to see "How Do You Know" - one of the Chicago film critics said to ignore all the reviewers that didn't like it, and don't miss it. Also... the upcoming movie "Contagion" was filming along the Metra tracks in Western Springs, one town over from me and a LOT of people saw Matt Damon! How cool is that?!! (he's too young for me but he still makes me drool) So- good old Western Springs had a brush with fame!

They were filming Contagion in the school my cousins go to in Wilmette!

I've mostly been re-watching things lately. I've watched Withnail & I again and some classic Doctor Who. Mostly Second Doctor and Fifth Doctor stories.

"True Grit" w/Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon and Hailee Steinfeld, who was really good, especially since she was playing w/the big boys. Josh Brolin had a bit part but as they say, "there are no small parts, only small actors". He worked it. Never cared much for Matt Damon but he did it. And, of course, Jeff Bridges really played the part. Well acted w/plenty of comedy and little violence. Go see it.

I watched this last night and really enjoyed it. I like Ben Affleck but I'm not a huge fan, but I have to say that I was really really impressed with him in this movie. He did an outstanding job.

"The Fighter" w/Christian Bale and Mark Wahlberg. If Bale doesn't get at least a nomination for the Oscar, I'll be surprised. Based on a true story and Bale nailed the guy and his mannerisms. Excellent movie!

Seven Years in Tibet starring Brad Pitt. This is an Outstanding movie IMO.
I gave it 4.5+ of 5 stars which I don't do often.

I can't wait to see this. What a pairing!

saw "Good Will Hunting" again last night on cable ... that's a movie I just really like.

My sister received "Fargo" on DVD for Christmas, so we are going to have a William H. Macy film fest with that and "Pleasantville" after the holidays.
