I picked up Beyond the Valley of the Dolls tonight - I am so happy. This will headline the next swank movienight

Watched Silkwood today. It was ok and both Kurt Russell and Meryl Streep were great. Of course it underplayed the controversy over her plutonium exposure but that is to be expected.

However, I see that Cher was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for this roll and I just don't see it. She didn't really have much to do. Was it simply because she was playing a lesbian in 1983?

I was going to watch a DVD tonight but Gilda was on TCM so I watched that instead. I don't think I had seen this wonderful film before. God, Rita Hayworth was beautiful! I seem to be seeing quite a bit of the film noir classics lately. I don't mind one bit.

Just saw Little Miss Sunshine. I'll have to agree with ISM assessment of the film. I felt everyone acted like they should, so there wasn't much surpise in the storytelling there, but I think the time spent with the characters in the film really overshadowed the fact that they were all stereotypes who reacted fairly typicaly to the situations presented.

Really one of the best films this year.

I am really wondering if it is too late to go see Snakes on a Plane. Will it be a fun audience or an empty audience this weekend.

Oh the delimna.

I saw it for a second time and the theatre was empty, albeit I went to a 4 o'clock showing, i say this week should still be good.

I finally saw Citizen Kane. You guys were right. It was a good movie.

whew, cause we were going out on a limb with that one.

i mean, we like it here alright ... but it's not generally highly regarded.

Saw Powder last night. Very interesting and had some touching moments in it. Great acting for the most part, especially the kid who played Powder. I'd never heard of it before. It's from 1995.
