Transformers 2. Mindless but fun, like the first one.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

Watched The Fantastiks on Hulu.  Not a bad adaptation of a trite little musical. 
PDH!

It once held the record for longest running show on Broadway.

Don't know if it lives up to the hype (I'm looking at you Shelf) but it's an interesting movie and I look forward to the first half.
Best film of the year and a really remarkably good character study :)
Let's bomb Russia!

But does it surprise you?
If you let someone handcuff you, and put a rope around your neck, don't act all surprised if they hang you!

Forget about winning and losing; forget about pride and pain. Let your opponent graze your skin and you smash into his flesh; let him smash into your flesh and you fracture his bones; let him fracture your bones and you take his life. Do not be concerned with escaping safely - lay your life before him.

Star Trek TOS; The trouble with tribbles

A great episode. Not because of the story which really isn't that interesting or new but because of the humor and the great character interaction between the leads of the show.

I believe CDM shares that same sentiment according to a post he made the other day.
"Everything that brought you here -- all the things that made you a prisoner of past sins -- they are gone. Forever and for good. So let the past go... and live."

"Somebody, after all, had to make a start. What we wrote and said is also believed by many others. They just don't dare express themselves as we did."

3:10 to Yuma (new one)
Weird I'd never heard of this, quite the big flashy western.
Pretty good. But the ending makes no sense. Sure, the 'villain' lets himself be put on the train because it will help the farmer and he can escape easily. But turning about and shooting all his gang? That is just really WTF and dumb.

Savonarola

Divorce Italian Style (1962)

Marcello Mastroianni is an Sicilian baron who wants out of his marriage to his clingy wife so he can marry his cousin; played by the nubile Stefania Sandrelli.  The problem is that there is no divorce in Italy at the time; but if his wife has an affair he can honor kill her and, given the right circumstances, get a light jail sentence.  Comic hi-jinks ensue as he tries to set up an affair for his wife.  The movie is actually quite funny, despite its dark premise; while Stefania Sandrelli is:



:wub:
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

The Headless Woman.
Argentina continues to crank out awesome motion pictures. Haughty bottle Blonde has a car accident, goes into a fugue state for most of the picture, some people help her out, eventually she's fine. There's obviously more to it that that, but then my review would be all spoiler. Well done quiet acting on many fronts. Very similar to the films of Carlos Reygadas imo.

I saw the stage production up here.  That Do You Remember song still gets stuck in my head sometimes. 
PDH!

Water of Mars and the Doctor Who Christmas Special

Both were very depressing and I found myself pitying the Doctor.
PDH!

"Distant" - Turk film about a dude whose cousin from the sticks comes to stay with him in Istanbul. They both spend a lot of time deep in thought, staring at things and thinking. Occasionally people say stuff. Then it's over. Somehow this is all completely riveting. I learned some things about Istanbul, like they are way ahead on this recession business. They've been having the economic crisis for sometime etc.
