The movies I've seen recently that were good are all pretty obvious. Loved The Kids Are Alright, Animal Kingdom and Micmacs. Also fun were the hilarious Unconscious, Innocence, and I can't say enough good things about Black Dynamite. That flick had me on the floor and simply amazing for its attention to detail in terms of continuity errors and use of misplaced reaction shots, and all the things that made blaxploitation films fun/painful to watch.

Some of the younger girls attempts at freedom made me think of The Gashlycrumb Tinies.

Also watched Enchanted April which I'd also never seen before, came out on DVD for first time recently. Really lovely film and cast. Oh and watched Despicable Me, which I enjoyed. Not sure why the NPR critic had it on his top 10 list (he needs to see more films) but it's cute and well done.

But her co-stars were really terrific. Man, I feel sad that I finally watched Restrepo the other day (which is kind of depressing anyway) and then one of its directors just died in Libya. :-( In happier news... I also watched The Other Guys, which is a total mess in some ways, tries to be too ambitious for a silly action comedy, and yet I kind of enjoyed it. Wahlberg and Ferrell have great chemistry.
