March movies

Cripes, didn't realize I hadn't posted since the Oscars. Oh well.

March 2006 -

Proof - I liked this one, a twisty plot, although I hated to see Hope Davis having to play such a shrew.

Flightplan - Better than expected. Very suspenseful.

Ultra Violet - some of us really wanted to go to a movie and there really wasn't much playing. We had fun saying "Blood Chinois" for a weeks after. And wouldn't it be cool to change your hair color, clothing color, everything with just a touch of a button? Yeah, OK, moving on.

Bubble - Disappointing.

A History of Violence - I liked it, those stories of people turning out to be someone else are always interesting on a certain level.

Walk the Line - wow, much better than I thought it would be.

The Ice Harvest - I love John Cusack, I wanted to love this movie, but it bugged me.

Where the Truth Lies - most recent Atom Egoyan, an interesting story of a Lewis & Martin type duo and their sordid past. Complex.

Lord of War - an interesting portrait of a gun smuggler. Nic Cage is pretty versatile.

The Inside Man - Superb! An excellent caper with lots of suspense and unexpected twists. Spike Lee is the man. Oh, and I can't forget the obligatory Clive Owen is hot comment :-)

Love Song for Bobby Long - I liked this even more this time. It's sentimental but I love it.

The Weatherman - a well done portrait of a dysfunctional family. Another solid Nic Cage performance.

Elizabethtown - Cameron Crowe is a bit too self-indulgent. I liked parts of this, but it went on a bit long, although the end was the best -- I'm a sucker for such romantic plot twists.

Reruns - 2046, Happy Times, Broken Flowers, The Crying Game, Speed, In the Cut, Bread and Tulips, Personal Velocity, Eros.
