    We saw "The Debt" Friday. Entertaining, well-acted, kind of like a Cold War thriller (which is kind of was). If you don't like moral ambiguity, you won't like this movie. I liked it.

    I want to see "Moneyball."
    I enojyed the debt but was bothered by how little the younger actress looked like Helen Mirren.
    PLesa excuse the tpyos.

        Thats another probolem. Mirren was too old. Given the time frame, she is about 15-20 years older than the character should be.

        That said, I still enjoyed the film.

        • Watched The Hurt Locker last night and was unimpressed. Perhaps I just don't get what makes a movie good or bad, at least according to people who say what movies are good and bad.

              I didn't think it was that great either. Way over-hyped.

                Agreed. I couldn't suspend belief for some of the scenes.

                  • Watched the original A Man for All Seasons over the weekend - Schofield well deserved his Oscar for his protrayal of Thomas More. It has an over all outstanding cast:
                    Orsen Wells - Cardinal Wolsey
                    Robert Shaw - Henry VIII
                    Vanessa Redgrave - Anne Boylen (just a cameo - non speaking)
                    Leo McKern - Cromwell
                    John Hurt - Richard Rich
                    Susanna York - Marget More

                    I may be small, but I'm slow.

                    • How the hell did The Kids Are Alright win Best Picture - Comedy or Musical? There was nothing funny about that movie at all. Who categorizes these films?

                      The movie itself was fine. I think Annette Benning has timeless beauty and there is something about Julianne Moore that I find kind of hot, but neither were attractive in this movie. Also, do all lesbians swear like sailors? And are GBLTQAXYZ obligated to give their children weird names like Laser?

                        IMO Contagion was a complete cluster*&$#. Confusing, disjointed, and I never felt any connection to any character whatsoever. Several plot tangents never did get resolved and even the final plot resolution was ham-handed and sloppy. To see critics proclaiming the movie as the best film of the year has me even more confused.

                        We saw The Debt as well last weekend and liked it. I thought the character development in that movie was done very well.

                            My favorite movie. Ever. I didn't see it until I was in my 30s.
