Movies and Red Hook
Lately I've been trying to watch at least one new movie per day. Not pay per view, just normal movies I would probably pass over. You never know what you're going to find a gem like The Hamburg Cell. It's only been three days but so far I've added to my 'seen it' list:
The Human Stain - I feel like a heel criticising anything with Anthony Hopkins, Nicole Kidman and Gary Sinise but there was something yuppie scum about this movie. I know it was taken from a novel and I'd be willing to bet it was some trendoid hit of the week. It was preachy and it lagged even with great performances by the cast. I won't be seeking this one out again..
Duplex - I don't like Ben Stiller but I do like Drew and it's a Danny DeVito movie so I watched it. It was far fetched and silly but Drew was excellent and the old lady ran away with the movie. For 90 minutes of mindless entertainment it worked. I wouldn't buy it but I'd watch it again.
21 Grams - I was hesitant to watch this, I thought it was about drugs. How wrong I was. This was my kind of movie a la Usual Suspects or Memento. Naomi Watts, Benicio del Toro and Sean Penn are the stars and each one seems to bend perfectly into their parts. It's a thinker of a movie that jumps around and I know there was a lot in it I missed. Excellent flick, this one I want to see again and I definitely want to own.
That's it for now!
