Another month goes by, some more movies were watched. Noah Baumbach’s Margot at the Wedding shows his interest, or perhaps experience with dysfunctional families but is no Squid and the Whale which I love. Gone Baby Gone was a job well done in the writing department by Ben Affleck but I wish they didn’t cast his brother Casey; looking at his face ruined the film for me. Peter O’Toole shows his slightly funnier side in Venus, the sad story of a an old, dying man that falls in love with his best friend’s young niece. Fracture got lost in the mail and never showed, The Kingdom was a surprisingly good “kill every terrorist in sight” flick and I was hugely disappointed in Across the Universe (how more cliche can The Beatles get?). Finished up season two of Arrested Development which in my mind is the funniest sitcom that ever hit the television.
