Daily: July 2008 Archives

I guess I'm in the middle of something of a movie blitz.

- Hellboy II - better than I expected, but I heard some pretty awful reviews (from people who are neither Hellboy nor del Toro fans, evidently)
- Before the Devil Knows You're Dead - pretty cool title, pretty cool movie.  Phillip Seymour Hoffman is always amazing.  Ethan Hawke is always...the same.

Movies watched, and how much I enjoyed each in descending order:

• In Bruges
• Wall-E
• Iron Man
  
• The Princess Bride
  
• Little Miss Sunshine
• Young People F**cking
  
• Batman - Gotham Knight
• Hulk II
  
• Wanted
• Shutter (2008)
  
• Hancock

Books read:

• The Art of Racing in the Rain - would've been fantastic if it was just a racing book. Unfortunately, they had to make it a dog book.
• The Story of Edgar Sawtelle - beautiful, unsatisfying.
