Only if you can read French.

I watched "Elegy" two nights ago, and really loved it. It's a little indulgent in places, but there were a lot of really poignant moments and Ben Kingsley and Penelope Cruz played off each other quite well. Debbie Harry's (to my surprise) appearance was just bonus. The side stories involving the friend (played by Dennis Hopper) and his son (played by Stellan Skarsgaard) both added a lot. 8.5/10

Tonight I watched "The Reader". Got off to a good start, but by the end of it I was squirming in my seat. Too long and too drawn out. The dialogue was just so forced and there were too many scenes where people didn't say things when they should have opened their freakin' mouths. I never quite understood why a person would choose to spend the rest of her life in prison rather than admit that she can't read - and I'm not sure why a person who is illiterate is presented as someone who seems mentally retarded. Reminded me of the silliness that was "Dancer in the Dark". The acting is quite okay I suppose, and it's a competently made movie, but that Oscar loves this kind of movie and ignores far better movies like the one above is why I can't be bothered with the Academy Awards. Passable, but irritating. 5/10

dill, haven't had a chance to watch Ghajini yet.

Kind of embarassing to admit I watched this for the first time just last night - "On the Waterfront." Just Awesome. Easy to see why it ranks high on all-time lists.

Sad that it is not to have seen this movie yet, it is great to have the huge void in my movie-watching repertoire - I get to see classics like this, as if they were brand new.

this is why the classics are so great.. they never let you down

Anyway, On the Waterfront is pretty good. East of Eden is better. I still haven't seen A Streetcar Named Desire.

East of Eden is better.

Exit to Eden is even better
