I think that Big Momma's House 2 brings alot of important issues to the table.

Bought a box with oldies from Roman Polanski, mostly Polish. Most of his early work is very wtf, but one movie (repulsion) is way ahead of it's time, a 'reqieum for a dream' from the sixties is the best way to describe it. Very unnerving movie, schizophrenia must very much suck. It is amazing how Polanski has made a normal appartment an extremily hostile place, everything just screams creepy. The movie being shot in black and white doesn't help to lighten the mood.

Highly recommended.

Saw Jarhead yesterday, an occasionally funny and possibly quite truthful account of the life of a marine guarding oilfields. It's a boring life. I think it's both the strength and the weakness of this movie that the tedium is shared with the viewer.

Recommended, but not highly (unless you want to join the military).

Yep, great flick. Wasn't it called The Apartment?

Just watched March of the Penguins. Bought it for the kids but I thought it was amazing. Well worth 90 minutes of your life. The story is great, the photography is great, and the penguins are incredible! What they go through is beyond belief.
