Hey there, America. Other nations– you can listen in, too.
I had a pretty fun weekend. Fortunately, it overlapped into the work week, as I was able to take Monday off. Always makes for an easy week– especially if you’re an orange cat.
Let’s see– MOVIES! Yes. I saw three of them in the theater, and two more on DVD.
The Brothers Bloom - I shouldn’t have waited so long to see this, but that’s okay now. I’ve seen it, I highly enjoyed it, and I’m telling you to mosey over to the Plaza to check it out if you haven’t already. Con men, Lamborginis (plural), and a one-legged cat. It’s excellent and funny.
MOON - This is a small one. Quiet, smart, sci-fi starring the always great Sam Rockwell. The director is David Bowie’s son, and he’s made a really amazing looking flick for (supposedly) $5M. If you call yourself any sort of sci-fi fan at all, you owe it to yourself to see this film. Hit up the Landmark and make it happen!
Public Enemies - It’s pretty good. It’s no HEAT, and I can’t really place what it is that didn’t grab me when Mann’s other films usually do. I’ll revisit it on DVD in a year or so, and see what’s what at that point.
Then later, I watched Donnie Brasco for the first time on DVD. It was a Depp-le feature, if you will. Oh-ho-HO! Anyway, I enjoyed much of it. I consider it to be a pretty sad film, overall. There’s some humor, and Bruno Kirby was still using oxygen at the time, so that’s cool. I should rewatch CASINO one of these days, and see how much I like it nowadays.
