That's allright, I wasn't planning on it. Thanks for the heads up, though.

I'm back. The downside is that I'm also old now.
Shutter Island
I liked it wasn't boring at any time and I wouldn't have guessed the end.
7/10
I'll see now: The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.
Just saw "Alice In Wonderland" and it is absolutly a great movie. inspite of all the rough criticism i enjoyed it very much. and dont miss the 3D experience on this one![]()
Leaves of Grass- Edward Norton.
Norton takes on the challenge of playing twins and carries it off with great aplomb.
One is an East coast academic elite, the other grows the finest hydroponic dope in Oklahoma and a doomed plot reunites them after 12 years of separation.
This is simply a wonderful movie.
Wonderful in the sense that you are treated to an unexpected pleasure, the movie that doesn't pander.
Rife with opportunities to brandish a broad, stereotypical brush, Leaves of Grass constantly surprises as the characters are revealed as complex, smart, funny and fatally human.
Imagine a scene where Keri Russell quotes Whitman as she guts the 40lb. catfish she just caught...barehanded (called "noodling", if the movie is to be believed).
If you're intrigued, you'll like this film.
Oh, the soundtrack is fabulous and one scene features a J.J. Cale tee-shirt.
And there's a bodycount.
I mean really, this movie has a lot going for it, even the production design is notable.
All the people look like they're wearing their clothes, the house looks like the place they live. This is quite refreshing after the gloss artificiality of most movie sets and IMO, more difficult to pull off. Even the most obvious setpiece- the growhouse- is completely credible. Amazing as it is, it's also completely plausible that it was built by two rednecks
in the rural midwest.
Definitely worth your time.

I saw yesterday the movie "Brothers" , very nice movie I give it 7 / 10
Just finished Matt Damon's The Informer. Have to say it was a decent movie that reminded me a bit of Catch Me If You Can. Not really as good, but had a bit of the same style to it.
I was completely turned off of the movie's theatrical poster/box cover. That made it look dreadful and kept me from even giving it a try for the entire first month since it became available. The box is misleading. Matt Damon makes a watchable performance as an ADM exec caught up in his own lies while helping the feds conduct an investigation of price-fixing activities of the company.
Give it a watch if you are in the mood for a slowish, yet entertaining film. If you can make it through a guy spending his life in airports and hotel rooms while firing people, you can make it through this... 7/10
Yesterday evening I watched
After School Special with my girlfriend.
It is a commedy, but a very lousy one
(3 funny moments during whole movie).
