Movies Good and Otherwise

This week has been somewhat slow on the movie watching scale, only 1, to be precise. That one movie, however, may be the best movie I've seen in quite some time.



Brick is an uncompromised delight for lovers of mysteries and dialogue. Speaking of the latter, I haven't heard language used like this ever (and not bad language, mind you - although Tarantino's use of language both holy and profane is quite brilliant). The cinematography is amazing and the acting is just plain out of this world. Not bad for a kid from 3rd Rock from the Sun.

On the other side of the coin, this was the review in the NYTIMES for Meet the Robinsons:
"Meet the Robinsons" is surely one of the worst theatrically released animated features issued under the Disney label in quite some time.

.... and that is saying something.

I think you said this one time before, but, I just watched Ghost Rider.

Worst.Movie.Ever.

I don't know if i can forgive Nicolas Cage. And he was so good in Adaptation.
