Titanic: So I finally watched this. It's not that bad. What kept me from watching it was the
expection of listening to Celine Dion. The US military uses her CDs for torture in Iraq. She
has actually been banned by the Geneva Conventions. The movie is three hours, but it moves
fairly quickly. Leonardo DiCaprio is quite amusing; he looks like someone's little kid
brother, out on a dare. Whatever. It's not that bad.
Libertine: Johnny Depp plays John Wilmot, a poet in late 1600s England. He destroys himself
by indulging in excesses of depravity. No, this isn't a celebration of the GOP values. Very
intense acting, drama, character development, costumes, etc. A historical costume drama that
will discomfort the ladies.
The Great Gatsby (1974), with Robert Redford, Mia Farrow, and a great performance by Karen
Black. I haven't seen this since, well, 1974. It's amazing how good it is. Very complex
drama, excellent acting, etc.
Glengarry Glen Ross. After much kidding around at the office over sales, we watched
Glengarry Glen Ross.
Spectacular cast, including. Jack Lemmon, Al Pacino, Ed Harris Alan Arkin, and Alec Baldwin,
with a script by David Mamet. Get a bottle of whiskey and your fave babe.
The Professional, with Jean Reno, directed by Luc Besson. This is a very charming movie.
Okay, asides from the gunfights and the explosions.
