And they charge $3 extra per ticket in these parts. I see no end in sight. That's just the 3D glasses paying tricks on you. I don't think so. Um...I meant 'playing', of course.

The Kid Stays in the Picture - Robert Evans autobiography. I found it interesting to see one person's experiences in Hollywood back in the 70s. 3:10 to Yuma - Western starring Christian Bale and Russell Crowe. A remake of an oldie. I very much enjoyed it until the last 20 minutes. To me the last section wasn't believable within the world of the movie. Cloverfield - Awful monster movie from JJ Abrams.

Vatel - Not sure how I missed this one. Gerard Depardieu is Vatel, a royal steward trying to impress the King and save the estate. Absolutely amazing food scenes and a kitchen to die for.

Woman in the Dunes , and The Celebration , both excellent in very different ways (except you need to avoid falling asleep during the opening scene in Dunes). I imagine the photography of Dunes will be appreciated after the taste for the grainy handheld digital video of the Dogma/Blair Witch era is lost.

So should I get a new TV and cable for this?
