Michael Clayton.  Again.

What a great movie.

Watched about 4 episodes of entourage the last two nights.  Certainly can't say they're niggardly with the eye candy.  It's interesting how tiny the "Palestinian" hotty from Zohan is.

Sherlock Holmes, pretty cool in my opinion. I thought his autistic episode in the restaurant was inspired.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Un long dimanche de fiançailles or  A Very Long Engagement

Wow.  This movie was great.  I mean really great.  It's about a French widow following The First World War who refuses to believe her husband died.  She's played by the always beautiful Audrey Tautou.  She sets off on a quest to unravel what happened to him.  Lots of well shot trench warfare scenes and shots of France circa 1920 ensue.  Also, a nice shot of Audrey's backside and Jodie Foster getting it on.  It got something for everyone.  War, romance, visually stunning sets and locations, decent acting, revenge, murder, and more.  Truly a great flick. :frog: :wub:

Yeah, I caught that one a few weeks ago.  Very well made.

I liked the movie but I have the same misgivings about it as you probably have about "The Wire" - the enjoyment is spoiled by the realisation that this looks too much like the shit you do daily (I was especially put off by the opening scene of 24+ hours negotiations :P).

Dances with Wolves meets the Buggalo episode from Futurama. Space Indians as mind worms.

Yeah, I could see how a shitload full of lawyers in a conference room at midnight could be all too real;  my bro-in-law's been there, done that.  He's reminded of it every time he smells Chinese take-out.

Been watching it for a while now. 
Sick and tired of "Behind Enemy Lines" commercials, though.

Had that on my HD for quite some time.  may finally go watch it tomorrow. Maybe as double feature with Passchendaele.

State of Play - the British series not the American adaptation, which I've not seen.

Absolutely brilliant.  Really top notch TV :)
