Back to the hijack for a minute. Yesterday's tribune had an article about the effects of witnessing a suicide and it reminded me of the conversation going on here. If you're interested: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/c...044092.st ory
excellent article. Thanks!

I saw Marley and Me finally last night. Pretty good. Too bad they throw in one or two things that keep me from showing it to my kids. I hate when they do that.

I did let my eyes get a little moist at the end, but don't see why some say it was much sadder than it was.

Watched "My Sister's Keeper" last night. Kept the kleenex on standby since I heard it was a real tear-jerker, but much like "Seven Pounds", another one that was supposed to be a hanky movie, I didn't sniffle once. Well I did, but that was allergies after I'd stirred up a bunch of dust cleaning up some stuff in the basement earlier.

Now, on the flip side, since James mentioned "Marley and Me", I went through quite a few kleenex during that one at the end.

Pet movies always get to me, human movies almost never do, for some reason.

"Taking Chance" was the exception, that one really moved me.

Anyway, "My Sister's Keeper" was really good.

Finished up watching the last several hours of AMC's new version of "The Prisoner" with Jim Caviezel tonight. Pretty trippy stuff. Spent half of it going "huh?" but it was still pretty good.

Once. Nice little movie about a street musician and an immigrant street vendor in Ireland.

And there's the recently re-discovered Starchaser: Legend of Orin on youtube after my brother and I reminisced on Thanksgiving.

I watched that. Sweet movie.

My oldest picked State of Play to watch last night. eh. Picked from the headlines, so not original. Hollywood take: military -- bad, media -- good. cough cough. But I do enjoy watching Russell Crowe and Helen Mirren.

Pulled out the first of The Mummy trilogy and watched that today, since Doug had never seen it.

We're sitting on Angels and Demons from Netflix, but unfortunately D. has no interest in seeing that so it looks like we'll be watching that after this weekend.

My boss's daughter is bucking the teen trend of reading the twilight books in favour of reading the time traveller's wife

Saw a movie which had a lot of promise, but fell through. Not good at all. Title is The Thin Red line. Stars include Sean Penn, John C Reilly, John Cusack, Clooney, Adrien Brody, Jim Caviezel, Nick Nolte and many other well-known names.

Some movies are just bad. This wasn't one of them. This was different. It tried to be artistic and profound. It has several voiceover/narration moments where one character says things about God and destiny and life. And it sounds like he (that character) thinks he's saying something profound. But he isn't.

In other words, this movie tries too hard to be artsy and to be important. It wears that desire on its sleeve.

I have no problem with movies that make statements, or that step out of the box. But this one just didn't do a good job of it.

Watched The Blues Brothers (a moldy oldy I'd never actually seen before since I was never a big Belushi fan), and The Departed today.
