62 - The Good Shepherd

It's the stillness that makes Matt Damon's character so cold. You just can't tell what he's feeling or what's on his mind...pretty much like a great poker player. His performance reminds me of Gene Hackman in The Conversation.

As expected, great supporting roles by John Turturro and Alec Baldwin.

61 - Children of Men

This is a scary proposition on what the decay of human society can bring upon all of us. And this really goes beyond the story. The dvd inlcudes a documentary with several statements by historians, sociologists, and other experts on how close to reality we are to the dangers pointed out in the movie. This is a really crucial time for the human race.

One has to note Michael Caine's terrific performance as a hippie......pull my finger :)

60 - A Scanner Darkly

Paranoia.
It takes all shapes and forms.
The mind is a powerful thing.
Use it well, and it serves you well.
Abuse it, and it abuses you.
Reality?
Be careful.
