Your second sentence sort of falls off a cliff there.

Nonetheless: One of the Futurama movies.

I just watched The Namesake - against my wishes - but it was pretty great. I'm usually not one for realistic fiction, especially not of the culture-centric-generation-gap variety, but I really enjoyed it. Ah, Indian Jeff Goldblum.

I ended up on a movie bender last night. I watched 'Did You Hear About the Morgans?' and 'Almost Famous' and it was quite a contrast. The first was poor the second fantastic :). Hugh Grant was funny and cute when he was young but he really has lost some of his charm. Almost Famous was great, the lead actor is the same as in 'Wristcutters: A Love Story' one of my favourite movies so that had me :).

I saw "Inception". This movie, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, shoots for high philosophy, but misses the mark entirely. In fact, the only philosophical question I was pondering the entire time while watching this was "How does this guy still have a career?"

Haven't seen it, and for this reason. Although, could you imagine how much worse it could have been if it were Keaneu Reeves who had DiCarprio's role? Reeves doesn't even have a personality with which to act, and the only reason he was decent in the Matrix was because the character had no personality either.


The last movie I saw was "Good," with Jason Isaacs and Viggo Mortenson. It was pretty good, I have to say. I actually teared up a little at the end. (Not the most historically accurate in terms of pre-WWII events, but the main focus of it revolves around the psychological/emotional complexities of living in that time in Germany).

You DID finally realize it was in quotes because that was the name of the movie...right? Why else would it be in quotes?

And, when you said to rename it, I thought you were thinking more along the lines of renaming it "bad," or something along those lines.

The movie Rizzy saw pretty good, except she said it was "Good".  I think the quotes mean it was actually bad.

That's what I get for mentioning a movie whose title is also a generic adjective/adverb.
