    How bout a spin-off of the reading thread? Post the films you've recently rented or forked over the big bucks for at the multiplex. To start us off:

    Watched "The Lighthorsemen" last night on the True Stories network. 80s Australian war flick about the battle in Palestine in 1917 when their famous mounted infantry rode out of the desert to take Beersheeba. Pretty effective movie about an aspect of WWI I know little about, so I enjoyed it. A little dull, perhaps, but the "charge of the light brigade" was shot pretty well and serves as a nice climax. Some of the horsemanship reminded me of the Snowy River stuff, but it never quite reached that level. No major stars in it, but the chick from Snowy River played the nurse love interest for one of the soldiers.

    Just rented "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance," so I'll post a brief report when I get around to watching it.

    Kind of an odd one...some of the vignettes were more compelling than others, and some dragged on a bit.

    Adaptation. Not a big fan of self-referential art and I thought it was going to be a kind of "look at how clever we are for making this movie" sort of thing, but it was pretty funny and even a little *sniff* tender in spots.

    Last movie I saw at the theater was "Nosferatu". And no, I didn't see it on a first run basis.

    Great looking and creepy, maybe Robin Williams' best performance.

    Good to know - my wife wants to watch that.

    I just watched The Bourne Identity last weekend. Better than I expected. It's good to have low expectations!

    Damn, I have to use that free PPV from DirecTV pronto - the month is almost up!

    Hm, have to disagree there. I thought it was very well done: solid script and strong understated performances from Reilly and Aniston.

    Lots of good performances, the guy from "Oh Brother..." as the friend, the guy from "Chuck & Buck" as the security guard was really funny (I'm too lazy to look these names up), but I never really bought into Aniston falling for that guy so hard.

    24 Hour Party People. Very funny , in an English way, look at the tall-tale history of Factory Records. In a year of good performances, the Scott Cooper (? I think. ) performance as label founder Tony Wilson was the best I've seen. Even better than Sam Rockwell in Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. That's saying something.

    About Schmidt.

    I really liked this movie until the very end when he opened the letter. (I don't think I'm giving anything away by saying that) If they had left those last couple minutes out I think it would have been a great movie. As it is, I thought it was just good.

    Watched "Zoolander" last night. Owen Wilson can really deliver a line when he wants to.
