What I over the last couple of weeks

The Departed: I saw this again in the theater and if it was still playing in my small town I'd see it again. This is my favorite movie of the year. I love a movie (however absurd) that has such colorful supporting character moments. For instance, I loved the scene where Dicaprio shot the guy in the leg and the guy started complaining that he hasn't gone into shock. This character was in the movie for a minute and half but he was incredibly memorable. Supporting characters is the secret to a good movie. That's the reason I loved Four Brothers so much. And that's why I love movies from the thirties and forties more than the movies of today. They have better supporting characters.

Breathless: This is my second Godart movie. I really enjoyed it. I'm going to search out more.

Manhattan: This is a pretty good Woody Allen movie but I prefer his funnier, lighter stuff. A little Woody Allen goes a long way for me, so I'm good for another year.

An Inconveniant Truth: Scary and effective. But like all end-of-the-world doom tracts it made me shrug my shoulders. I just don't trust dire predictions. Anyway, I suppose I don't have a car so it didn't make me feel guilty. If I had a private jet, perhaps I'd sell it.
