Thanks. No, I haven't seen it.

It's not likely anything remotely similar, but I enjoyed a DVD last week of "In the Company of Women". It's basically a cutesy movie, but it had some interesting elements. It starred the guy who used to play "Seth Cohen" on the OC, along with Meg Ryan and a supporting role by Olympia Dukakis. "Seth" could be battling the "That 70's Show" guy for "next Tom Hanks" status. Meg Ryan's role was a little less fluffy than normal, not that there's anything wrong with her fluffies <g>. The movie doesn't have a big plot, isn't very demanding or anything, but it has a fair amount of emotional impact, and I think it works for a quiet type pic.

I liked Michael Clayton -- a serious movie -- and I thought Tilda Swinton was swell, but I like Caly's clip on You Tube better. I was impressed. I wonder what hotel she stayed in?

I saw two other films recently that I liked and would recommend: 3:10 To Yuma (the remake) is a rock 'em sock 'em cowboy movie with some great psychological tension as well, and Goya's Ghosts is a beautiful historical epic if a little overwrought at times, but some great acting by Javier Bardem and Natalie Portman who did manage to keep her pants on during most of the film.

On Wednesday I'm moving to Santa Fe, my 3rd move in 3 years, my 6th move in 10 years. My bones are getting weary and I seem unable to find my way home.

I agree, Chris & k, Michael Clayton was good, once my wife helped me figure out the plot in the early going. A bit reminiscent of The Fugitive, but more sophisticated.

And k, ok ok I will move "Blood" to the top of my Q (along with everyone else here no doubt!)
