Movies

I watched 3 movies since Thursday..

Be Cool - much bettre than some of the reviews I read led me to believe.. good thing for Travolta and clan, I don't hold much stock in what the critics say... Together again with Uma was just as good if not bettre than their Pulp Fiction movie.. The Rock was WAY WAY WAY out of character as a Gay bodyguard.. He frequently made me laugh.. quite enjoyable... worth a rent...

11:14 - this movie is one story that lasts about 20 minutes.. but, it is told from several different perspectives.. and this is way cool.. the cast is pretty durn phenomenal.. Patrick Swayze, Henry Thomas, Rachael Leigh Cook, Barbara Hershey.... anything I might say about this movie would not do it justice.. it is well worth a rent.... you won't regret renting it...

House of D - wow.. I was truly suprised.. this movie is written and directed by David Duchovney(sp).. yeah, good ol Fox Muldur from X-Files.. he also plays the main character as a grown up, but just briefly in the beginning, then just a lil bit more than briefly in the end... the true 'stars' of the movie are Anton Yelchin and Erykak Badu Tea Leoni ( wife of David D. ) has a fine performance as the mother, which is kinda wierd since they are married and all, but, only if your think about it too long.. its a coming of age story about a young 13 year boy growing up in NY city, dealing with different types of loss. Robin Williams plays a mentally retarded man, age 41, best friend of the main character ( Yelchin ). Pretty darn good performance, especially the airline ticket counter scene.. Its an independant film, put together in a short period of time, on a small budget, and I cried.. so there ya go.

peace
