Movie Watching

Recent viewings;

March of the Penguins - Excellent documentary emphasizing strong family values. A+

Winged Migration - footage that is so amazing it looks fake. the cameramen flew right along side these birds. Fascinating. A

Hostage - too violent and gets sillier as it goes on but Willis' character is interesting because of how broken he is. Not your typical hero. B-

Downfall - always interesting look inside the bunker of Hitlers last days. B+

Miracles (tv) - some very strong episodes but also some weak ones. a mixed bag. b

The Station Agent - sweet tale of friendship that loses focus once in a while but regains it time and time again. Handful of scenes that are so good that some of the other scenes feel a little empty. b+

Swallow Your Pride - always engaging and hysterical look behind the scenes of the largest competitive eating contest - wingbowl. A+
