cmk418I had planned to post the next part of "Great Risks" tonight, but it's undergoing some major changes because I needed a tonal shift, but now I've doubled the choreography aspect (which I despise). So it'll be at least another day or two.
Went to see "The Savages" today. It was very good. Philip Seymour Hoffman reminds me of my brother in so many ways - I don't necessarily think of Laura Linney's character as myself though (and definitely not my sister), but there were certain aspects of their relationship that were true of ours (and quite possibly reflective of many sibling relationships). Both the writing and acting were very good. A side note - David Zayas (Enrique Morales from OZ) has a small role at the beginning of the film. I recognized his voice immediately and he looks quite good nowadays.
Also saw "No Country for Old Men". I'm not sure about the movie, but the character that Javier Bardem plays is definitely going to be talked about for years to come. The film seems to be more of a commentary on the world today than actually being something that is a more traditional narrative. One warning, there's quite a bit of violence in it.
Between the three movies I saw this weekend, I find myself wanting something sweet and romantic. Maybe I'll pop in "State & Main" or something like that before bed.
