Pete Carroll seemed to like it

Much better than good - 93% overall, with the top critics going 100%! (only 14 reporting but including Peter Travers and Roger Ebert...)

If this really is as intelligent and well-written an action film as they say it is, I absolutely must see it in the theater.

We're seeing it at the Chinese at 8:30, in case anyone's interested.

Hmmmm. Considering.



In other weirdish movie news (well, to me) ... I didn't realize till watching the entire last season of Weeds that the young actor playing regular Shane Botwin (Alexander Gould) was the voice of Nemo - while this season's recurring guest star was Albert Brooks, Nemo's Dad. Heheh. Oh, and series regular Elizabeth Perkins was Nemo's mom, Coral. Hahahahaha.

They could have renamed it Sea Weeds - thank you, i'll be here all week.

TeeHee ... especially since this season they changed the entire locale for the series ... to the beach!!

I might actually go see a movie this weekend! Not sure what though. Options include Funny People, Julie & Julia, Ponyo, District 9, Time Traveler's Wife, The Hurt Locker.

Haven't seen Julia & Julia, District 9, or Time Traveler's Wife. Of the others I'd rank:

1. Ponyo
2. The Hurst Locker
3. Funny People

I recommend Julie & Julia if you're looking for charm and a whetted appetite. I hear The Hurt Locker is amazing but I can't bring myself to see it yet. I [hope my clients aren't looking] don't recommend Funny People.

Must.See.Ponyo.


But I might wait for Alex's review.
