Saw y tu mama tambien and also some of pulp fiction. It's hard to believe that the same actor in "Y Tu Mama" was also in "El Crimen de Padre Amaro". Beautiful acting in both. I really had a turn in my attitude to the character Padre AMaro-- he was a good guy and by the end, he was a bad guy and I hated him in the end. Good writing, I guess, and it was a good contrast to Y Tu Mama. Y Tu Mama was a trip and a half.

For Hollywood Videos' 2fer2sdays, I rented The Bourne Supremacy :: Universal Pictures and Chronicles of Riddick. Funny thing was that both bad guys were the same Russian dude, Karl Urban . He's intense. Anyway, kewl blowbyblow action flicks. Good choices. Bourne was full of action packed running around. Jason Bourne pwns the Secret Service! :) Riddick pwns the necromongers! Doesn't everyone like a good movie with Vin Diesel. Jim thinks he was flexing for the whole movie, but maybe that's just the way he's built...

Tonight we saw The Hurt Locker at LSC. War movies are not my favorite genre, and I was afraid to watch some parts of it. There were more than a handful of intense scenes that required me to shield my eyes. I thought the actor and drama was really riveting, the character development of the main character was fascinating. It is clear that sometimes, people get addicted to doing something they feel is important and they get a high from it. However, once you have a social responsibility, it seems like it can't end well if you give up your passion for a stable life. It was definitely an interesting movie, and shows that there are a lot of tough choices to be made for people who are exceptionally talented.

Kill Bill was awful. Lots of gratuitous violence, that I didn't enjoy. I didn't think there was much plot, and the cinematography was too friggin' obvious. Isn't Tarantino too clever having a whole scene in silohuette? No. I don't think I'll be watching the sequel. Good think I saw it at LSC, where it was discounted. Quite a few of the audience left during this movie, it was so bad...Zatoichi is a lot better of a campy, beautiful, samarai flick.
