The Manchurian Candidate—I missed the first one but if Angela Lansbury is anything on par with Meryl Streep then I better invest a few hours to compare the two. A very enjoyable film.

Riding Giants—I’m not a surfer but was kept in awe by the waves and the gradual progression of this film.
The Bourne Supremacy—The nonstop action sequences made me forget that I’m not a big Matt Damon fan.
The Village—The yawn. Not a good movie, especially while nursing a lovely hangover.
Eruption – Mt. St. Helens – Imax Dome —As Imax films go, this is not a must see. The footage was grainy, the narration dated and the overall feel was not up to par with current releases. However, as a child I remember watching Kids Are People Too in my pajamas when the alert message scrolled across the bottom of the screen warning everyone to stay indoors. I remember the ash on the cars, the darkness, and the impact this event had on our everyday lives.
Collateral—This was a pleasant surprise. The camera angles, the pace, the performances, all made for an intense experience. Sprinkled throughout the plot all of the subplots and storylines merged together satisfactorily. It is both unapologetic and direct and avoids the syrupy redemption at the end that is too common in movies today.
Kill Bill Vol. II – The Red Victorian in San Francisco is the perfect little theater to catch movies that you may have missed on their first run. They serve organic popcorn with garlic salt and real butter in bowls like you would eat out of at home. There are also a series of benches instead of seats so you can snuggle close to the one you love with a blast of garlic breath! Yummy.

Intimate Strangers—The premise of a woman mistaking a tax attorney for a therapist is interesting. The dialogue and the relationship that develops is suspenseful ... what is truth?
