Last night’s post was really delayed a few days. I waited to give Steph a chance to see Munich. So tonight I’m going to catch up. Why I feel like I should be reviewing movies, is beyond me. But here I go, with the three films I’ve just seen.

Walk the Line, is just another false Freudian, Post-Modern, Psychobabble, Bio-Pic. It had a decent cast, with decent acting, an OK supporting cast (they looked like the characters they were playing, but it ended there); it was well shot, and of course the music was dead on fantastic. I think Reese Witherspoon won an Academy Award because June Carter Cash was patient. The film should have ended at Folsom Prison. Don’t start with the fucking saw, if you ain’t gonna end with the fucking saw. I did cry, however.

A History of Violence. Well… a great cast, but Canadians shouldn’t try to do Indiana. There isn’t a Sheriff in all of Hoosierdom that would wear a hat like that. I really want to like Cronenberg, for many reasons, but he hasn’t made a good film since The Dead Zone. Of course Viggo Mortensen is always brooding and hot, and I might kill for Maria Bello. Raa, Raa, Siss, Boom, Baa!

I really liked Good Night, and Good Luck. Every High School Civics class should have to watch it. It was a good 93 minutes. It would have been a great 63 minutes. Keep up the good work George!
