Last night I watched The Brave One starring Jodie Foster. It was a little predictable, but I love Jodie Foster. There is one long, brutal scene in the beginning that was a little hard to watch, but the rest was very good.

Oh man, I almost forget to mention Marley and Me! I watched this Monday night, and it was so good. I'm not a huge Anniston fan, but she was great in this. Owen Wilson is good too, but gosh, won't someone make him get a hair cut!?
It was a really heartwarming story about family, but especially about the love of and for Marley, this awful dog who is bad to the bone (but not really "bad" bad). I cried so hard at the end...OK...enough said.
I saw The Surragates with Bruce Willis last week. Not too bad if I say so.
I've heard alot of people saying Bruce is too old for action, but I think he's holding his own.
At least his characters get hurt in his movies, makes it more realistic IMO.
Changeling, I didn't think i'd like it but it was actually very good.. I've always liked Eastwood's directing.
"House of Wax" yesterday.
Normal cable television with commercials...but it was unedited for gore even though it aired at 11:00 a.m. EST. That was a bit strange.
It wasn't a horrid movie, and I enjoyed when Paris Hilton's character .

Outpost. Group of mercs escort a boffin to an old bunker. It's a straight-to-DVD effort, but IMO it was OK. Sort of Dog Soldiers meets The Bunker, so obviously not incredibly original. Ray Stephenson (Titus Pullo from 'Rome') is the lead, and is pretty good. Again, IMO.
I haven't watched a movie in a while, bit I was watching the second episode of true blood, very graphic and violent but interesting premise and generation kill. I don't know much about HBO, but all their programmes are good, but they are graphic and violent, ie. deadwood.
Yesterday, I watched 1974's "The Parallax View" (starring Warren Beatty, and several people we've all seen in small parts in other films, without ever picking up on their names, in most cases) which is a political thriller I hadn't seen since about 1980, when I was too young to really understand it, but I always intended to watch it again when I got older, and yesterday, I finally did. And I'd say its very good; definitely still worth watching, 35 years after it came out. In some ways, it seems just as relevant today as then, if not possibly more so. Of course, these days, the quality of political leadership is so low, that there's no one they need to shoot, but if such a person should ever again emerge....
On a vaguely related note, I also saw "Taxi Driver" about two weeks ago, which is definitely one of my all-time favourite films.
