Have you ever seen The Wraith starring a young Charlie Sheen? Great soundtrack too! It's crap but a watchable sort of crap.
Yes! Somebody else who's seen Duel! One of my favorite Spielberg films easily. I bet that movie cost $10,000 tops to make. Theres a old Peterbilt that looks nearly identical to that sitting in a lot a few miles away from me and I always have to jump up and down in my seat pound on the steering wheel and do some panicky sound effects when I drive by it. Nobody understands though.

And Dennis Weaver is from Joplin, Missouri! My local hero!

Gonna go watch Mirrors in a couple hrs. I've seen it before, one of my fave horror flicks.

Male men? Are there other kinds of men?

^ Fucking terrible ending, but otherwise ticks all the right boxes of your regular Hollywood western. Jimmy Stewart does really well when he's not playing Mr Niceguy as he pretty much always did here too.

I was going to write sort of a long review, but I don't really feel the need. It's smartly written and well-acted pretty much through and through. There are a couple parts that aren't as tight as they could be but it's still a pretty impressive work. The main points I'd hit are:

1) It makes a complex and very dry plot (programming, corporate finance, intellectual property, etc) not only clear but relevant and interesting without trying to make it into more than it is. There's a little bit of pontificating and a line or two here or there that's sort of... trite or muddled or whatever else (although, at times that might be intentional, I could definitely make that argument) but it's generally very sharp.

2) Mark as a character is really fascinating because he's not likable, or even especially sympathetic, yet there's something about him that makes you want to sympathize with him and Jesse Eisenberg does amazingly well capturing that--the whole of the character is in slight variations in his intense speaking pattern or subtle changes his generally expressionless face. You don't notice how well done it is until you go back and think about it.

Also, I'm glad a movie finally used Justin Timberlake right.

This made me ridiculously happy. A Ghibli treasure I'd unforgivably overlooked.



This was quite good too. Really enjoyed the animation style.
