Movie-a-rama

Ok, I've watched a boatload of movies in the last few days, so brief thoughts:

Down with Love I loved it - really thought it was a clever dig at those late 50s/early 60s flicks. Just different and cute.

The Gift What a waste of an amazing cast. It's got Cate Blanchette, Keanu Reeves, Giovanni Ribisi...and it's as boring as any movie of the week. Thumbs down.

Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou What an odd little flick. Another amazing cast with Bill Murray, Angelica Houston, Owen Wilson. Not really a big deal for me, but it appears that those who love it LOVE IT as it's on more than a few people's Top Ten list. A cult fav.

Bottle Rocket Another odd Owen Wilson/Luke Wilson movie. Funny, quirky, and if you like this movie, you'll probably be inclined to like Life Aquatic.

Runaway Jury John Cusack once again plays John Cusack, this time in a John Grisham movie that chose to go after a completely different group than the book. (The book: Cigarettes. The movie: Guns) I'll let you know as soon the movie ends how it is...we're about 10 minutes in right now.
