Fay Grim

A sequel to Henry Fool and a slightly better movie. In that it has less William Forsythe and more Parker Posey. Its trying to be some kind of taut, psychological espionage/thriller kind of movie. Something where everyone has shadowy motivations and etc etc etc. But it doesn't really pull it off. And half the cast seems to be taking a nap, like even they're wondering why they're bothering with this...

I like Posey a lot, but this is just as much a pass as the previous movie. Also more indy directors need to learn that they don't HAVE to make their deep movies two hours long. Learn to cut!

Prince Caspian

Went and saw The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian with the mom tonight. Enjoyed it more than the first. And the original book. Though Aslan? Bit of a dick. Seriously, CS Lewis probably understand less about romance than I do. Which has to be pretty rare. Be willing to screw up his ending and go for the more romantic ending...

That said. Peter Dinklage? Always awesome. Warwick Davies as the evil dwarf? Oh man. And finally Eddie Izard's Reepicheep? So perfect. So bloody perfect...
