Pick Of The Week:
In The Valley Of Elah
Plenty of decent movies coming out this week, and a couple good looking films I haven't seen yet. I thought this was a pretty good mystery/drama that obviously had some great acting. Definitely worth a watch.
American Gangster
It is an OK film. Nothing too spectacular, but this continues the trend of Ridley Scott being the most over-rated director of the modern age.
Crime Fiction
I Netflixed this one right away. Chicago area production that premiered at Slamdance.
Kurt Cobain - About a Son
I really just couldn't get into this one at all, and I'm a huge Nirvana fan.
Lust, Caution
Margot At The Wedding
I'd like to see this, although I still have yet to see the Squid and the Whale.
Michael Clayton
Pretty underwhelming. Not Best Picture material.
Redacted
I need to see this also.
Rendition
Actually somewhat more interesting that it looked.
Music DVD
Burn To Shine 5: Seattle
Volume 5 features Benjamin Gibbard (Death Cab For Cutie), Minus The Bear and Eddie Vedder. Watch bands set up in a house, play a song, leave, and then watch the house burn down. Great concept.
