More movies, more movies, more movies

Okay, this is the fun part. I'm watching a movie while publishing my puny reviews. How ironic?

Okay, here we go.

1) The Kingdom - FBI squad in Iraq, investigating a bombing of Americans. Great movie with some good action scenes. Jamie Foxx with Jennifer Garner. Great action sequence on the DVD, where over a 5 minute sequence, you can watch it from 3 or 4 different angles (not simultaneously) . Nice extra

2) The Astronaut Farmer - Another interesting movie. Kinda like a space man "Field of Dreams". Not a movie which I remember a lot about. I remember enjoying it. But, not a long lasting memory. More of chewing gum for the mind, kind of entertainment.

3) The Italian Job - Ocean's Eleven/Twelve/Thirteen but different. Great car scene, racing around in Cooper Mini's

4) Capote - Definitely a Oscar award winning performance. Captured the odd behavior of Capote with great detail, and freakyness.

5) The Prestige - Another great movie about two magicians and what they brought about, both real and fiction. Great drama, with some interesting ramifications of what they did for their art.

6) Collateral - While I really had issues for Tom Cruise, but he and Jamie Foxx did a fine job of acting in this movie, and keeping it interesting. Not one I'd watch again, most likely, but worth watching at least once.

7) Good Night, and Good Luck - Another oscar winning movie. George Clooney and the group were wonderful, in this dissection of the Red Scare and McCarthy-ism. Not action packed, and you are left wondering what happened at the end, but you know you saw something worth watching.

8) Grosse Pointe Blank - Great Movie !! The story of the 10 year High school reunion and what happend with John Cusack going back to the town he left from his high school romanatic interest, all while making a living as an assassin.

9) Hairspray- John Travolta in Drag. Need I say more. The original movie was worth watching, and this one seems to improve upon the original.

10) Dr. Strangelove - another of those movies you watch because you really should, but at the end, you are left wondering where the movie really ended. Something to watch again in 5 or 10 years, but not any more often than than. Peter Sellers is wonderful in all his characters.

Okay, not many left on the DVD list, but the instant viewing queue is full of other movies, including some deadbeats.
