What did you see this weekend?

What did you see this weekend -- in theatres and/or at home?

I saw:

1)Before The Rain
2)Before Sunrise

Some thoughts.... Before The Rain I had seen twice before, several years ago. I noticed a lot that I didn't notice on my previous viewings. The movie is comprised of three sections. The second one is appropriate - it fits within the context of the story, but it feels like it was directed by someone else, certainly not the same guy who masterfully handled the first and third sections. The middle section feels slightly amateur-ish, the way the scene was constructed. It is still a great movie nevertheless.

This was my first viewing of Before Sunrise. First off, let me say I liked the movie. It was enjoyable - good characters, great dialogue. Also, the fact that the movie is set in Vienna made it more enjoyable for me to watch as I have been there essentially doing the same thing Ethan Hawke's character was doing.

1) The Wedding Singer ........Sandler is a funny man
2) The Straight Story   .........Watched this together with Phil and his tv signal is crappy so that ruined it!
3) The Hudsucker Proxy .......I was half a sleep most of the film but the scenes I remember were great.

Watched "Jason and the Argonauts" with my mom. Still a very fun movie.

Then, I finally, finally watched "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind" on DVD. Rockwell's performance blew me away, but I'm mixed on the movie as a whole. I want to hear Clooney's commentary, and then I'll post my full comments in the appropriate forum.

Lost in Translation on Friday night. Pure Bliss.
The stomping of Duke by FSU on Saturday night. Pure Bliss.
On the Waterfront on Sunday night. Pure ironic bliss.

In theatres:
Anything Else
The Rundown

At home:
The Conversation on IFC - It was on last night, and since nothing else was on, I watched that.
Battleship Potemkin - I own it, so I felt the need to watch it again.
Aguirre, The Wrath of God - I love it so much and the DVD is amazing quality.. I watch it pretty often.

Anything Else.

Wanted to like it more than I did. Better than the last two Woodys, but nowhere near Husbands and Wives/Hannah territory. On a regular scale, I give it a 6/10; on a Woody scale, a 3 or 4/10. Biggs is an uneven actor at best, and I wish Ricci, much as I do like her, hadn't just coasted on her usual put-out sexpot routine.

My God man, go easy on her!

I actually think I was... I mean, I though they were both fairly blah performances, but it was also a fairly blah script with some fairly blah direction and camerawork. I really liked the "frozen moment," however.

Sorry godardian.  Kneejerk reaction.  

I'm dying to see her in Prozac Nation though, and not just because of the alleged sex/nudity.  I also thought she was excellent in The Man Who Cried (with a knockout cast too IMO).  Have you seen?
