Rented "Something about Schmidt". We thought it was a unique Nicholson
performance that could have been comedy but fortunately was not. I also
think a lot of viewers will fail to see themselves in some satire. Of
coure, being "retired", I found it raised some questions I have
confronted, since the "retired" to become partly invisible for some parts
of our culture, especially in business.

resp:250 true, just ignored it. It's been done twice-- if they go for
a hat trick, then I'll proclaim it a formula.

Re: ...about Schmidt I thought the scene where he sees his
files, in the alley, in the rain, was nicely done.

saw 'nemo' w/ eskarina sunday. movie's good, but i don't think it's something
i'd show to a small child. there are a good number of fish-in-peril scenes
that were noticeably disturbing to the 5- or 6-year-old sitting behind us.
on the other hand, there were some great moments --- the surfer-dude turtles
were great, and the 'Psycho' violins at the dentist's niece's entrance were
hilarious.

Saw "Agent: Cody Banks" at the dollar show last weekend. While I
wouldn't add it to my collection, it was alright. Think of it as Kim
Possible, only with a guy and live action. I see Hilery Duff's keeping
busy, what with her Lizzy movie and all.

I saw "Finding Nemo" again last night, with my 7 year old, at the
cheap movie theater in Clinton. ($2.50.) Many times, if I see a
movie or read a book a 2nd time, I'll have a much different impression
of it, but I had the same impression of "Finding Nemo". I'm a lot
less impressed by it than others here. It's pretty, it's nice, but
it's not special.
Around here, we watch Disney movies occasionally, and had just
watched "Toy Story 2" the night before. I have Dory's memory, and so
can't remember who it was, but *one* of the fish has the same eyes as
Buzz Lightyear.
Also, I said earlier it's not scary. It's scary at the beginning;
there are several scenes that a young kid could find frightening.
Sorry!

READ OR DIE
About a woman who loves books and works for a secret organization within the
library community that retrieves lost books, among other things.
Very interesting super power she has...She manipulates paper, making it into
whatever she needs from planes to swords.

Saw Phone Booth at the Allen Pk. Theater. At first, when I saw the
trailer, I was skeptical. After all, how much can you make of a movie
that, for the most part, takes place at one location? But then again,
12 Angry Men took place in a single room, and it's become a classic.
Also, it was only a buck so what the hey.
Anyway, I liked it. It's all about this guy named Stuart (Colin
Farrell) who uses the same phone booth everyday, but this time, someone
calls him. The caller seems to know everything about him; Where he
goes, who he sees, what he does...and he doesn't like his
observations. Stuart's been a bad boy and the caller (Keefer
Sutherland) wants Stu to confess his sins...or else! That worst part
is that he can't tell anyone, else he or someone else, will be killed.
It's that "else" that makes the film interesting. You never know what
the caller's going to do. One thing's for sure, he's not all talk.
This is a short form for it's kind; only 81 minutes. But since the
plot's tightly focused on one thing, I guess you can't draw it out too
much.
