I love movies. I hate movies.
I love movies. I hate movies. What I mean is, I love the idea of a movie transporting me for two hours to a wild new world. I hate that most movies bore me more than they transport me. But, man, was I whole hog into "3:10 to Yuma" this weekend. Scene after surprising scene of raucous action and psychological torment, a bad ass Russell Crowe, an anguished Christian Bale and an existential ending so loaded with despair and humor I had to watch it twice.

I loved the Kite Runner. The movie is almost as good as the book, which is saying a lot because the book was excellent. The themes of sacrifice, repentance and redemption are very universal and the window into the culture is moving and poignant. Read it, then watch it.
I thought it was excellent as well. I never saw the original.
There have been a lot of fantastic movies. No Country For Old Men, Juno and The Kite Runner stand out. I am also looking forward to seeing There Will Be Blood.
I love this time of year. So many movies to see.
