The new James Bond movie is getting great reviews. The last time I was able to say that was the twelfth of never.

There’s a new Simpsons movie trailer. Well, not really…it’s just a teaser, but it’s still pretty funny.

We just watched the last two movies on the PVR:

• Welcome To Sarajevo (imdb | rotten tomatoes) was about the Bosnian war, done with near-documentary feel as is often the case with Michael Winterbottom’s films. Winterbottom isn’t shy about mocking/scolding the bureaucratic indifference and laughable photo-ops disguised as concern, but focuses on the smaller and more personal story of the reporters.
• Midnight Express (imdb | rotten tomatoes) was a good movie about a horrible chapter in some dumb drug-smuggling bastard’s life, but Nellie pointed out afterward that it was pretty much a fabrication. A lot of the key points in the film just didn’t happen in real life. Still, that scene in Cable Guy makes a lot more sense now…

Man…two straight movies about genocide and then a prison torture movie. Good thing we didn’t watch Dancer In The Dark; we might’ve jumped off the balcony.
