Only the second time I've watched this. Javier Bardem is beyond creepy. Kept thinking that these are the same people who made Raising Arizona, The Big Lebowski and other farces. This movie is not a farce.

the fantastic mr. fox
Wes Andersen - 2009
What a great film. Has everything that a Wes Andersen movie should and more - in stop-action. The amount of patience that that must require is beyond me. It is visually rich. Really, really great.

dazed & confused
Richard Linklater - 1993
Had insomnia the other night and caught the last hour of this. So many great early performances - mila jovavich, ben affleck, joey lauren adams, matthew mcconaghey, adam goldberg and more. So great, so early nineties, so many memories of high school when I see it.

saving private ryan
Steven Spielberg - 1998
Watched this in the new theater at home - you could hear the bullets whizzing by!
Still love this one, out of a 2hr 40 minute feature, he devotes an hour to two scenes - taking the beach and saving the bridge. Great use of structure. Great young actors.
funny people
Judd Apatow - 2009
Watched with Sam...it was just as poignant as the first time around. It's intensely personal and I really think Sandler is strong in this. He is great at showing vulnerability.
