To relax on our day off after watching nine movies over the past five days, we decided to…watch a movie on DVD. Natch. Thumbsucker (imdb | rotten tomatoes) was pretty good…excellent acting all around, and Tilda Swinton didn’t even creep Nellie out that much. Keanu Reeves, Vince Vaughn and Benjamin Bratt were all great in their funny little parts. One of the main story threads is about self-medicating, though they never really resolved it. Too bad; it was getting interesting. The rest was better-than-average family dynamic stuff. It’s worth a watch, but there’s no need to rush down to the video store.
