Kate Winslet and Leo DiCaprio were great, and even though the story dealt with problems many couples face and many movies have addressed, I never lost interest. The inner lives of the characters were so intense, I was never quite sure what they'd do.
David Harbour (BBM's Randall) had a supporting role as a neighbor. This resulted in a scene that was pure Brokeback. Any Brokie who sees the movie will instantly recognize it. ;D

I saw Gran Torino last night and liked it a lot. Great characterization, good acting by Clint and others. My sons liked it, too.

I just watched The Greenstreet Hooligans (aka Hooligans, 2005) and although not a great film, I thought it was pretty darn good & I don't think many people have seen it. I didn't even know it existed until a few months ago. It stars Elijah Wood, who isn't one of my favourite actors, I found him insufferable in LotR, and Charlie Hunnam, who I do like a lot, but man, he sure isn't the Twink from QaF-UK, that's for sure. There is a brief scene of him shirtless that sent my jaw dropping to the floor with a large thud. Let's just say that he's in amazing shape, god-like, really. Anyway, wrapped around this tasty scene is a fascinating story about the football hooligan sub-culture. Highly recommended but, as to be expected, it is quite violent.
