Nope, I thought it was admirable - but ultimately 'meh'

I just finished watching a french film called 'Garcon Stupide.' In light of recent personal events, too close for comfort.

Saw Requiem for a Dream last night. Despite the DVD jacket's protests, I neither loved it nor hated it. There were some fantastically cool parts,but also there were a lot of gimicky bits, and overall it was heavy handed in its approach. But the cool parts were cool enough to make it enjoyable.

I'm going to have to agree with Ebert on this one and say that Spiderman 2 is the best superhero movie out there.

I like Batman Begins better. Spiderman II is second place for me.

I would agree with you, but I didn't care for Bale when he was in the costume. Something didn't seem right there. I liked the build up to becoming Batman, but his version of the dark knight seemed lacking. Maybe it was his voice when he was Batman... I don't know.
Michael Caine was a brilliant casting choice, though.

Continuing the theme of "stealing from mom", we followed Requiem with Bottle Rocket. That leaves just Life Aquatic in the Wes Anderson canon to view. Bottle Rocket was good. Rushmore's still my favorite.

Rushmore will still be your favorite after Life Aquatic (not that it isn't worth seeing).

I saw Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest yesterday. I have musing about it, but I'm not going to share them.

Love 'Rushmore' and 'Bottle Rocket'. I think 'Rushmore' is also my fav.
