what better to do during the holiday hiatus than catch up on some movies?
not much! so here's what i've seen so far:

roger dodger: totally weird flick, and completely held my attention in the most skeevy sort of way. strange honest look at the freakiness of being human. and greedy. and egomaniacal. and co-dependent. okay. i'm done.

the chronicles of narnia (LW&W): great great great. i read these books when i was a kid and not the least bit disappointed in the film version. quite well done. i'm looking forward to the next. should be seen on the big screen, fyi.

good night and good luck: excellent work. clooney is really showing his stuff. brilliantly directed and acted. i'll keep my eyes peeled for the oscars which are bound to roll in.

crash: someone told me today that this film is in msn's top 10 worst movies of the year. uhhhhhh.... i don't get that. i guess i think it might have made some people very uncomfortable, enough that they denounce the film as a whole (circa "the passion of the christ") because i thought it was a very compelling film. great cast. and highly culturally relevant. ok, yes, it wasn't "wedding crashers." oh how terrible that someone is making real, important, socially relevant films. (sorry if this opinion offends....)

all told~if you haven't seen these films, i recommend every one. in no particular order. but very very soon.
