Movies

Watchmen. We both thought it was very good, and we'd both read the book within the past month. I don't understand why it's been so trashed in the reviews. Obviously there were layers in the book that couldn't make it into a three hour movie. That's true of any full-length novel. I thought the movie captured the essence of the book really well.

+1. My thoughts exactly.

BTW I saw it on Monday afternoon and I was literally the only person in the theater. That felt weird. My cell phone vibrated and I went ahead answered it 'cause there was nobody there to be bothered by it.

The Marx Brothers films were made mostly in the 30's. Just hilarious fun.

The last movie I saw was last week, rented at the hotel where I was staying. It was Revolutionary Road. I'm glad to be living in a time and place where I can make my own decisions.

Milk. It was great.

I've come close to being the only person in the theater, but someone always walks in eventually. The smallest audience I've been part of so far was three people. I actually prefer a near-empty theater because your favorite seat is always available and you don't have to worry about the person next to you talking through the whole movie.

I saw Taken recently and enjoyed it. (I feel very sad for Liam Neeson and his family right now.)

Of all the movies I saw last year, I enjoyed Death Race the most. Seriously. I can't explain it.
