July movies
Die Hard - the original is still the best, even with the dated 80s stuff
My Super Ex-Girlfriend - a really funny performance by Uma Thurman
Casino Royale - I like Daniel Craig. I have some quibbles with how they did this one, but I enjoyed watching it again.
Blood Work - Eastwood directed and stars in this adapation of a Michael Connelly novel. Read the book.
Curse of the Golden Flowers - not my favorite, but beautiful to watch
Lady in the Water - liked this one better on second viewing
Clerks II - this is one of the funniest movies ever. Be sure to watch the DVD extras. Man.
Aeon Flux - this is one of those movies where I say thank god for netflix. Wow. Really bad.
Curb Your Enthusiasm/second season - Laughed. So. Hard.
Friends with Money - second time seeing this Nicole Holofcener piece; maybe liked it better this time
The Missing - well done western with Cate Blanchett and Tommy Lee Jones
Children of Men - enjoyed this one again
Crash - I think I may have liked this one less on second viewing. Good work from Cheadle, though.
Children of Heaven - Iranian film about a boy who loses his sister's shoes on the way home from the repair shop. A charming story with sweet kids.
My Cousin Vinny - hadn't seen this in years, really hilarious
Little Children - hmmm. Not sure about this. I have liked many of Perrotta's novels and loved Election, but this one was maybe too dark for a movie treatment. The ending is heart-wrenching on one hand, and extremely annoying on the other. I should read the book.
Analyze This - comedy with Billy Crystal as a psychiatrist who becomes entangled with mobster Robert DeNiro. Funnier than I remembered.
The Final Cut - rather boring sci fi with Robin Williams; involves memory chips implanted in our brains as infants and the use of the material for memorial services
Thin Red Line - World War II movie, pretty bleak
Curb Your Enthusiasm/third season - Hilarious!
The Godfather, Parts I and II - hadn't seen these in years. Makes all the mafia movies of the past couple decades seem really derivative. (The Sopranos are exempt, as the frequent winking references to the Godfather movies lets them say things like "Bada Bing" with no penalty.)
