The Big Heat -I'll eventually get everything by Fritz Lang.
X2 -I liked it better than the first one. Nice Nightcrawler effects; he was my fave character years ago.
Vertigo (1958)
The Killing (1956)

Monday: (a day off warranted two movies

)
Fargo - a masterpiece each time that I watch it **** (William H. Macy should have snagged an Oscar for this performance - he's very underrated)
Drumline - Pleasantly surprised by this little gem - ***

Up for the rest of the week:
Tuesday
Femme Fatale ** - Poor editing made this one a bit choppy, but an OK flick.

Wednesday
Far From Heaven **** I've always thought that Julianne Moore was overrated, but thoroughly enjoyed this movie and especially her performance - Outstanding.
Roger Dodger *** This dialogue driven movie was very good. I think that I may have to seek out more Campbell Scott films.

Thursday
No movies

Friday - Saturday
Secretary ***1/2 - I hadn't read or seen anything about this movie and was pleasantly surprised by the movie and the performances. Now that I've seen it, I see the posters and it gives everything away.

The Transporter *1/2 - While I was watching this, it reminded me of a cross between the Professional and The Big Blue (to a lesser extent), then I read the end credits - Luc Besson

Sunday - more Bean from the Whole Bean

Monday:
Elling **** Great Norweigian 'feel-good' movie! (was rental but i think i'll buy this!)

Tuesday:

Wednesday:
I Kina spiser de hunde (In China They Eat Dogs) - Somehow this reminds me of "Lock, Stock & 2 Smokin Barrels" and/or "Snatch" however this wasn't even close.. *1/2

Thursday:
The Black Hole - I never saw this film when i was a kid so had to borrow this disc from a friend (Spanish R2) .. one of the worst Sci-fi movies ever LOL! */*****

Friday:
Pollock - Never really liked Ed Harris as a actor. Great art on this film naturally so *** is fair deal.

Saturday:
Big Trouble - Quite funny but that's all, **1/2
Full Frontal - Most refreshing film! ****

Sunday:
Windtalkers - Not too bad but can't stand Nicolas Cage! ***
