then we had dinner and talked about the movies we'd recently seen....

bladerunner (director's cut)--an old favorite directed by Ridley Scott. I used to love this movie, but now I find it boring. How disappointing!
love & basketball--slow-paced black family film turns into a moving love story
starstruck--annoying screenplay writer used by fallen star, then gets his revenge
trust--a strong-willed pregnant teen falls in love with an older, disheveled guy who can't hold a job who carries a hand-grenade around, "just in case."
magnolia--a depressing film about people's depressing lives. and just when you though you'd start helplessly crying, it rains frogs.
an ideal husband --scandals and love in the world of 19th-century english political aristocracy
the watcher --a music video that goes on for far too long
office killer --haven't we all wanted to kill our coworkers and have their dead bodies entertain us with their rotting flesh?
mumford--light, life-affirming
pillow book --calligraphy fetish, artsy filmography, unmoved by its puported eroticism
