    I enjoyed Oceans 11. I have never seen the original but i love a good caper movie and this one was a great caper movie. All the actors did a fine job. No need to critique this as if its a product of the late great Kubrick or a Copolla film. Its just entertainment period.

    Mullholland Drive was fantastic. Though the movie proceeded to loose me throughly after the Opera scene (which was without a doubt the movies peak) i think that was the point. To question or rather demonstrate the difference (or similarities) between whats real, and whats a dream. it also depicted some very real aspects about Los Angeles, visually and otherwise.

    I admit the scene in which Rita and Betty start making out like mad threw me off as I did not see that coming. But im not one to complain about such blatent visual sex between women. No not at all. My wife thought that a bit gratuitious, but eh, shes a girl..blatent sexuality bores her.

    I saw Behind Enemy Lines (what I wanted to get was Blackhawk Down but couldn't remember the name, thinking they were one and the same) but evidently they're not. Save your money on this one -- Gene Hackman can't save this piece of crap, and the Wilson brother (who has a nose that's really painful to look at) plays dodge the bullet the whole movie. He dodges many many many bullets, and has more lives than than the animal shelter I recently adopted cats from. Patriotic Hollywood claptrap.

    I also saw Mulholland Drive, and loved it. I loved that opera part, especially when the woman sang that Linda Rondstadt song. What was it, Club Silencio or something like that? The murder scene was hysterical, where at first he tries to make it look like a suicide, then accidentally shoots that fat woman through the wall, then has to shoot the janitor because he witnessed him dragging her to the next room. Yeah, the lesbo scenes were an added little bonus. David Lynch is definitely one of a kind.
