Just watched three movies I totally recommend:

The Secretary
Margot at the Wedding
Atonement

Especially Atonement.

Saw Step-Brothers two weekends ago...i would save that as a rental.  Funny but not hysterical where you should go spend the dough in the theater.

However Pineapple Express.  Go see.   It reminds me of a wacky 70s or 80s movie for some reason.  Definitely funny and unique.

The Woodsman (2004)

Starring Kevin Bacon, Kyra Sedgwich, Ben Bratt, Mos Def

If you like movies that feel like psychology studies, this is a great one for ya.  Although, be advised, it\'s deals with pedophilia and at various points, it will make you extremely uncomfortable.

Kevin Bacon and Mos Def stand out on screen, but what makes this movie great IMO is first time director and co-screenplay writer Nicole Kassell.  She does such a great job of building the tension.  She got me yelling at my television.  Very few movies have done that to me.

That scene when Bacon is talking to Little Red Riding hood in the park about birds had me yelling at my TV: NO! Don\'t do it!

What I really liked was that there wasn\'t much that was predictable.  There was nothing cookie cutter about this guys search for a normal life and I never felt like I knew which way the movie was going to go fo sho.

Thing about the Coen Bros. movies, I don\'t think you need to see them in the theater.  I\'m not sure if the extra 5 - 7 bucks is worth big screen and sound.  Other then lebowski, of course.

No Country was def worth seeing in the theater, so was Fargo.  But comedys in general I\'m usually not to concerned with trying to see in the theater.  But I\'ve been going to the theater alot lately, so I\'ll prob end up going.

I just saw Man On Wire. It was the most entertaining documentary I\'ve seen in a looooooooooooong time. Also, very original layout by the director. Solid soundtrack taboot. 4 stars no doubt.
