An Update.

Well I haven't been saying much here lately. I've been having kind of a nice break not feeling the need to run around to three or four movies a week. Instead I've been working on some of my own writing, doing some reading (about 50 pages into "The Hunt For Red October," and yes I am aware that it's been out awhile), trying (with little success) to catch up on my TV shows, and re-watching "Ratatouille" and "Stranger Than Fiction," both of which hold up very nicely. It looks to be yet another slow weekend new release-wise which is perfectly alright by me. I do however intend to catch "Ghostbusters" in 70mm at the Cinerama this Sunday and I may just stick around for "Blade Runner: The Final Cut" as well. In case anyone's interested "Ghostbusters" plays at noon Sunday and 8 PM Tuesday.

Here's an overview of what is still playing:
American Gangster: 8.5/10
Control: 8.5
Lars and the Real Girl: 9
Michael Clayton: 8
Elizabeth: The Golden Age: 4
Lust, Caution: 8
The Darjeeling Limited: 9
Eastern Promises: 7.5
The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford: 10
The Kingdom: 7.5
Across the Universe: 4

Until we meet again, don't cross the streams:
