"Fracture" with Anthony Hopkins - hadn't heard about it when it was in theaters but got it in the mail from Blockbuster. Pyschological crime thriller with Hopkins being as suave and evil and brilliant as Hannibal...without the face-eating.
Also just saw "Stardust" - good fairy tale with a healthy side of goofiness...a bit PrincessBrideish. And with some really good actors, including a light-in-his-loafers Bob DeNiro (gasp).
And Susan from "Coupling" (for the brit comedy fans) plays a witch (with heavy age makeup) - finally figured out from the voice it was her, would have gotten it sooner if she'd said "apparently?" (if you've seen Coupling you'll get that)
Going to see National Treasure in a couple days - what I'm really waiting for is "Cloverfield" - monster movie where nobody knows what the monster is going to be. Only see a glimpse of something huge moving between buildings in the trailer. Internet buzz is divided between saying it's another Godzilla, and saying it's Cthulu. Good move by the director not revealing the monster, hope the movie keeps it a mystery til the end. That trick worked great for Ridley Scott in Alien, a lot of movies now want to show off the CG and ruin the suspense.
