What a crappy xmas season for movies. Nothing but Reeves and Cruise. Did I miss anything?

Milk, Benjamin Button, Revolutionary Road, Defiance, Frost/Nixon, Doubt, Inkheart, off the top of my head.

If you haven't seen Synechdoche, New York, I can't recommend it enough. It's the best film I've seen this year, and easily my favorite yet from Charlie Kaufman.

It hasn't been much of a year for movies overall, IMO. I went to exactly ONE movie this year... that's a (depressing) record for me.

Danf, except that most of those are only in "limited release in select cities" at Xmas. We won't get them out here in the hinterlands until January.

octothorpe. . .yes I know. . .a lot of them will not come to my burg for a long time, if ever.

Milk will never play in this town and like Frost/Nixon, not anything I would go to a theatre to see. Button does not interest me at all. If Synedoche played here, it's long gone.

The Cadillac Records one sounds potentially good

I'm not sure that I've ever actually watched a movie at Christmas anyway. We're usually to busy traveling to have time to go to the movies.

bp: This summer's movies seemed a dismal lot to me as well.

Cadillac Records is playing nearby but at a theatre in a bad location.

Aha! Nobel Son is tucked away in the local megaplex. I will go see that today since it will likely not be there next week.
