apparently some South African bird called into either Kevin & Bean or Adam Carolla's show while they were pasting DiCrapio and said that his accent was pretty good.



i watched Babel the other night... despite a couple of issues i had with the arc, it was a well done film.

It was probably Leo's publicist or some stalker faking an accent of her own, because that was one of the most painful things I've ever seen. I kinda felt bad for the guy. Seriously, he can't even act in English. That's a tough position for him to be in. Kinda like Keanu Reeves decimating British... but possibly even worse. THAT'S saying something.

REALLY want to see Zodiac though. Been fascinated with that since childhood. So how was it then? DrD? Anybody?

Litlle Miss Sunshine.


it was cute and everything... but i don't know about any oscar s***.

I saw Zodiac last night. It was pretty good. Very interesting details into the case and despite it never being solved there is a satisfying resoltution. The movie is almost three hours though and near the end you begin to feel it a bit. Overall I liked it though, really dug the writing, especially since it's more of a talky instead of any action.

"Why We Fight" Its very interesting especially after how Iraq has gone.

This weekend I saw "Stranger than Fiction" due to a recommendation from a friend. I had remembered seeing the trailers for it a few months ago... the Will Ferrell movie where the author is writing his life, but it had looked like a pretty dumb comedy and I never really heard a peep about it after it was released. Well it just hit DVD, and it's amazing. Not even really a comedy, though it has some funny moments... it's probably one of the better films I've seen in a long time and quite a surprise actually.

Just saw "city of god" It a brazilian movie based on a true story about drugs and guns and the slums of rio. Its kinda old i think

Saw Pan's Labyrinth for the 4th time tonight, and I feel confident saying that not only should it have won Best Foreign Language film, but it should have won Best Film.

I've got that one. Pretty intense, and a bit uncomfortable, eh? You always hear about how "dangerous" Rio is.... I didn't really understand until seeing that.

Rented "The Prestige" tonight. Kinda long, but I liked it. Decent acting, and easy to get into. The rivalry between the two magicians was pretty absorbing. Lots of twists; mentally stimulating; and keeps revealing itself until the very last scenes. Definitely recommended.
