Miles from Nowhere

Just watched The Brothers Bloom.

First of all, great music. Cat Stevens, Bob Dylan, and the Small Faces just to start. Cast is perfect, Adrien Brody, Mark Ruffalo, Robbie Coltrane, all perfect; Rachel Weisz was quirky without being annoying. The movie is about telling stories and the truth, so it has that going for it. And cinematically I loved it. Little moments with the camera, and the director making us aware of the uncomfortable silences and letting them build.

It wasn't perfect. But it was good.

Huzzah! He returns!

BTW, nobody's commenting on my 'blog these days, so don't get discouraged if that happens. But also don't syndicate to Facebook, because then you'll get comments like, "Aw! Davey!" and "So true!" or the minimalist "!!!"

Not that I'm bitter. Seriously: Glad to see a post, especially one on a movie about which I'm curious.

Yeah, it's really more for me anyway. Proof that I don't spend every day doing nothing.

Thanks for the encouragement! Now If I can just get it to show up in Google Buzz like my big boy friends Dave and Jeff do...
