Vicky Cristina Barcelona - Oh, wow. I ADORED it! It was so good, and way better than expected. The scenery and music was breathtaking, and Penelope Cruz really deserved that Oscar, though I think Rebecca Hall may have deserved it more. Scarlett Johannssen was great, too.

This isn't a movie, but I just watched the Snoopy's Reunion DVD, and liked it.

The Ex - I thought this would be a really "dumb comedy", like most in its genre are, but I REALLY liked this one! Zach Braff and Amanda Peet give great performances, as do Amy Poehler, Amy Adams, and Paul Rudd!

I just watched The Great Mouse Detective- wonderful as always! And Bobby watched it for the first time, and he really liked it, too.

Fools Rush In - I LOVED it! Matthew Perry and Salma Hayek gave oustanding performances.

The Raven (1963): Has nothing to do with the Poe poem it thinks it relates to, but it's lots of fun just the same. A campy fantasy/comedy film more than a horror one with Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, Boris Karloff and a young Jack Nicholson whom I didn't recognize at first.

Marley & Me- the advertising is a little misleading, but it was a nice film. I enjoyed how it balanced the comedy and the drama. A nice film, but the nature of it will keep it sitting on my shelf for a few months.

The Prestige - I really liked it. It was confusing, but I'm pretty sure I figured it out by the end, which was also very surprising.

There wasn't much to figure out. He had a twin. Jackman kept killing himself. The end.

First of all, spoilers much? :roll:

Second of all, unless you had been spoiled (much like everyone who is reading your post has been), you wouldn't have known Christian Bale's character had a twin. And Jackman's character didn't even have a twin, so I honestly don't know what you're talking about.

I know Bale's character had a twin, that's who I'm referring to. Please show me where I said that Jackman had a twin.

The original 1975 documentary is on DVD (via Criterion Collection) if you're interested in that.

Anyway...

"The Thorn Birds", Part II - only two more parts to go, though this one did feel a bit dragging towards the end. B+

The Graduate - always a joy to watch for the stellar performances from Hoffman, Bancroft, and Ross. A+

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist - fun and quirky without trying too hard. A-

Ratatouille(commentary). Oftentimes, I'll turn on a DVD commentary to help pass the time when doing something else, or when I'm just bored.
