film journal 01
today is my first of what i hope to have, an ongoing, continuous series of daily film journals. I saw a thread on Joblo, in the general section "how many movies have you seen" and I had this idea from now on to keep track of how many movies, and what movies I see each day or whenever.
at the end of next year i will sum them all up in one huge list.

woke up at 12pm..and went down to nova, closed til jan 2. went to best buy, got home..and at around 2pm started watching.
a surprisngly good debut from Tommy Lee Jones, as a director. Interesting plot, and thoughtprovoking theme of loneliness/alienation.
then I went on to
first time for me, in FULL. I saw about an hour of it one time back in 2001 - but never finished. Today decided to get through it all.
This is not a bad film at all, but I don't see myself "rewatching" this anytime SOON, for sure. Very long and drawn out, I don't know what it was, maybe the tiredness, or maybe the film itself - but at times I just felt bored.
performances are great, very nice directing, and visuals. But not very interesting to watch on a regular basis.
edit: 11:46pm - just got done with
one of the better ones, if not, in fact I think it's the best Justin Lin movie so far. Well written, directed, and acted. To the likes of Dazed & Confused/Go type.
