Not that there's anything wrong with that. ;) ;D

Are you kidding? I saw JCVD on the big screen, I was first in line. I don't think it was that autobiographical though, lol! He did prove that he could really act and we all expected a big comeback but nothing really followed it for some reason.

I am so looking forward to PROMETHEUS and Logan Marshall-Green is definitely a major incentive:
He's like Tom Hardy's more troubled brother.

I just came away from a really wonderful quiet drama, In the Family. It was showing for (Shame!) two days only here at an MIT film festival, tomorrow is the last night scheduled in the Boston area for the foreseeable future. Fortunately it looks as if it is about to have at least a short run in several cities starting this weekend or next week. And I really hope the Kendall Square or at least the gay film festival pick it up. It was at MIT in part because the the director/lead is an alumnus.

This is a film for the people who did not think Brokeback Mountain was too long, slow and uneventful. The actual duration was two and three quarters hours and yet it brought me to its pace such that my reaction was shock that it was finishing. Although the ending was completely satisfying.
Patrick Wang was really outstanding in the lead role and Sebastian Brodziak as his and his partner's son was also terrific. I want to find out whether Wang says anywhere that he appreciates Ang Lee.
