a very quick roundup of the films i see lately

LARS AND THE REAL GIRL(2007)
imdb.com: A delusional young guy strikes up an unconventional relationship with a doll he finds on the Internet.

i stand: thinking it the best movie i saw all year. just my type of movie. dark but not that too dark, and dealing with everyday people. i love laughing out loud in theaters.














MARGOT AT THE WEDDING(2007)
imdb.com: Margot and her son Claude decide to visit her sister Pauline after she announces that she is getting married to less-than-impressive Malcolm. In short order, the storm the sisters create leaves behind a a mess of thrashed relationships and exposed family secrets

i stand: thinking everyone in this film delivered a great performance...i'm thinking oscar noms. Jennifer Jason Leigh was!













GRACE IS GONE (2007)
imdb.com: Upon hearing his wife was killed in the Iraq war, a father takes his two daughters on a road trip.

i stand: Love John but the movie was a little boring. sad yes.
