Movies, we've watched movies

The Million Dollar Hotel, written by Bono, directed by Wim Wenders.  Starring Jeremy Davies and Mila Jovonich.  Oh, also starring Mel Gibson, who said that the movie is "as boring as looking at a dog's ass."  Bud Cort's also in it.  Peter Stormare plays the "fifth Beatle" and does this John/Paul impersonation throughout the movie.  I can't think of better praise for the movie than this.

Watched Blank City again, a documentary about the 70's No Wave movie scene.  Glad we did.

Appaloosa, starring Viggo Mortensen, written, directed and starring Ed Harris.  I thought, "oh god, another horse movie."  Appaloosa is the name of the town in this Western.  Viggo and Ed play lawmen for hire called in to deal with evil Jeremy Irons.  Very psychological.  Oh, and Lance Henriksen is in it also.

Read Turn of the Screw and then saw The Innocents.  Okay.

World's Greatest Dad.  Bobcat Goldthwaite's 2nd movie, about a failed writer who discovers his son has died during auto-erotic affixation.  He makes the death look like a suicide and writes a suicide note and which makes his son posthumously famous.  It's a feel good comedy.  Only Bobcat could pull this off.

Simon of the Desert Luis Bunuel's story of a Catholic holy man who sits atop a pillar in the desert.  Surrealist and absurdist
