DUDE! They didn't copyedit that page--they spelled "hobbies" with one b throughout. Not to mention half a dozen other little flubs I noted.

I need a vacation. :shock:

Saw Gone Baby Gone last night and liked it a LOT. Ben Affleck's no joke -- fine directing job, and his brother Casey is fine, as is the entire supporting cast.  And it's actually morally complex, no easy answers in the film's solution.  I was surprised and impressed.

Saw Dan In Real Life on Saturday.  Very funny movie.  It's not a perfect movie, occasionally slipping into a bit too much sentimentality and too many standard Romantic Comedy Cliches.  But the laughs are mostly well earned and plentiful.

Saw Control last nite, the Ian Curtis/Joy Division biopic. Really terrific: the actor (never saw him before) Sam Riley was superb as Curtis, beautifully photographed in B&W, just incredibly well-done all around. Love Will Tear Us Apart indeed.

Fred Claus is apparently terrible. LaSalle calls it "Ho-Ho-Horrible", and then there's this from the NY Post:

"Fred Claus is not like a lump of coal in your stocking. Coal is useful; you can burn it. This movie is more like a lump of something Blitzen left behind after eating a lot of Mexican food..."

Saw American Gangster recently, big fan of Ridley, Denzel & Russell, so no surprise that I thought it was very good.  It's really a 4 act play, so somewhat unusual in its pacing at times. Ruby Dee as Denzel's mother has an awesome scene late in the 3rd act.  Josh Brolin is really effective as a bad cop, can't wait to see him as the protagonist in No Country For Old Men.

Haven't seen AG yet, but I am SO looking forward to NCFOM -- seeing it Monday probably.  Brolin and Casey Affleck share the finally-breaking-out award for 2007.  Seeing Lions For Lambs tonite but not expecting much.

And indeed, I just came from seeing NCFOM -- and it's as great as you've heard it is. One of the Coen's best. Give Javier Bardem the Oscar now.

I saw it and loved it too.  Wow.  Have to see it again.

And Roger Deakins, too.  Awesome cinematography.

Indeed, but have you seen Assassination of Jesse James? Deakins did that too, and it's also brilliant work -- he may be competing with himself come Feb.  (and the way Warner Bros has treated Assassination... is criminal.)
