Thanks, NR — I just added it to the NF queue and moved it up to #4.
We watched an odd combo of films and movies this weekend. I liked all except the “Best Seller” — There Must Be Blood. Daniel Day Lewis *and the sound track* were amazing. The movie was too long and too, um, strange????
The rest: (Recommended by at least one of the charlabobs)
Juno (I didn’t expect to like it — I loved it and actually bought the really silly soundtrack)
The United States of Leland — Another teen angst movie; much bleaker than Juno. Rented it because of Kevin Spacey — loved it for him and everyone else. All villains — none could be written off.
Gone Baby Gone — recommended here by NR and others — again, I was blown away.
Ambivalent — Bob Loved — Charla loved/hated: Sweeney Todd — loved the play (saw it 3 times) — loved Johnny Depp — in this case, less might be more — a little too realistic, the blood and gore.
Next in the queue —
Lars and the Beaautiful Girl — recommended by a friend and starring Ryan Gosling, the star of the United States of Leland
