| Cary Fukunaga's Sin Nombre is a well dramatized story of swarms of destitute Central Americans travelling north to the Mexican-American border on rooftops of freight trains. A tragic love story is at the core of the movie. The brutality comes from within the illegal immigrant multitude itself, with murderous cultish gangs robbing and killing each other. Taut and realistic. |

| Thought I might see "Avatar" tonight with a friend, but it turned out she went with her husband last night, and found everything sold out (on a Tuesday night!)--they managed to get into a non-3-D theater for it after chasing around in a taxi. She'd been trying to call me on my cell phone to meet them but it was turned off, which was just as well. I want to see it in Imax, but it looks like I'll have to wait a while. |

I reckon, unfortunately, it will be out there for a while.
FOR NYers -- you can see it in 3D IMAX @ 11am for $11.00
what a fucking bargain. |

How silly
I was wondering why it was R - it was pretty tame
I liked parts of It's Complicated - basically Meryl Streep brilliant reaction shots in moments - but overall it didn't live up the hype and was waay too sappy and precious for my taste |

Today my Japanese friend ( who saw Avatar last night in NY at the 11PM?? showing) told me that the biggest rage in Japan is the 3-D TV. And on the news tonight they had a story about it.. Yes, so, for about $7000 or so , you can watch it on TV. i just saw it but I want to go again . |

| I loved "An Education" I thought Carey Mulligan did carry the movie with her demeanor and slight facial expressions which seemed natural and seamless to me. That's what a good actress must be and do..But I also liked Alfred Molina and his character, the stern father with a warm heart for his daughter. Even though i wasn't brought up in a conventional household, it touched my heart and bought back similar memories. Emma Thompson rocked, as the head mistress, the bitch, and I mean that as a compliment. |

| I am really really surprised that The Hurt Locker is being released on dvd next week. I thought for sure that they would re-release it to theaters when the Academy Award nominations rolled in. |

Quote: I'll take a hirsute Baldwin any day.
The scene where Baldwin is lying naked on Streep's bed with her laptop computer strategically placed was the most hysterically funny scene in the movie. And knowing that Steve Martin can see everything on his laptop......and does......well I'd watch it again for that scene. |
