I've Loved You So Long (Il y a longtemps que je t'aime)

Kristin Scott Thomas gives a tremendous performance as Juliette, a woman who reappears in her family's life after spending fifteen years in prison for an unspeakable act.  The reason it is unspeakable is that this is the sort of movie that loses a lot of steam if its secrets are revealed too early.

Breakfast with Scot

Breakfast with Scot is a story about a gay couple who are placed in charge of a young boy when his mother dies suddenly.  The couple is lawyer Sam (Ben Shenkman) and former NHL player Eric (Thomas Cavanagh).  The twist is that the kid comes off as a flamboyant gay stereotype and that makes Eric a bit homophobic.

Due to my lack of cable television and my shortsighted knowledge of recent music outside the new Portishead, Roots, Beck, and Nick Cave albums, I’ve kept these notes down to movies and video games. Needless to say, there may be ::SPOILERS:: below, so read at your own risk!

Jumper

Purely on a whim I did something generally against my rules of conduct, which is buying a DVD for a previously unseen movie.  Why buy when Netflix will provide it easily for me?  If the movie sucks, $20 has just been saved.
 

Iron Man

The best action movies always have the same effect on me.
 

Small Town Gay Bar

There are times these days where it seems like we've lost sight of the thing that forms the core of this country. Freedom. Freedom means people live the lives they want to and make their own decisions without concern for what others think of those decisions. Small Town Gay Bar makes that argument skillfully by letting everyone in it be free to say what they think.

Juno

What makes Juno stand out more than anything is the dialog, specifically that of the titular character.
