Saw this at the Kubuki with Kim Broadbeck. What an amazing film. So sad. So often we think that one thing can solve all of our problems, and so often we're wrong.

Woody Allen - 2008
What does love mean? What choices do we make? What is 'normal'? 'Proper'? My favorite director asks all of these questions. He's in a bit of a renaissance period right now as he makes films in Europe. His new muse, Scarlett Johansson, is perfect in this and Rebecca Hall - who I wasn't familiar with - is even better. Javier Bardem is perfect. This is a film that is really about something real.
Our choices are always ours.
Saw this on a Delta flight from Atlanta to SFO.

Peter Sollett - 2008
Love movies like this. Those moments where you're figuring out that you're in love or you're going to be in love. In this movie that feeling is visceral.

James Foley - 1996
Mark Wahlberg as a crazy guy, Reese Witherspoon looking young and innocent and my grade school crush - Alyssa Milano - as a slut. What could be better?

Michael Mann - 1995
One of my favorite films of all time. A classic procedural drama that is also magical and brilliant. Watch for the falling car dealership banner at the end of the shot when the tractor-trailer hits the armored car -- he lets the camera stay on the shot just a few seconds longer to let it hit the ground. Perfect. It's the little moments that make a great movie.
