I've seen them all except "Delta". I have Badass on DVD, which is
awesome becaus ethe interview with Van Peebles is so much better than
the film.
Speaking of chasing down in theaters, I just got a copy of "Chameleon
Street" on DVD and interviewed the director. It'll be online soon
to check out and/or download by March.

Did you by chance catch "Sankofa", "Once Upon a Time When We Were
Colored", "Badasss" , "Down on The Delta", "Killer of Sheep", or
"To Sleep with Anger" in theatres when they came out? All are
fabulous indie films that so few blacks I know saw, but which I
loved and chased down in theatres. You strike me as the type who
may have sought them out...

I'm in for "The International". It's Clive Owen doing his Clive
Owen thing, and that's cool. If anyone's in a city where "Medicine
For Melancholy" is playing, I can't recommend that film enough.
It's wonderful. One of the better Black indies I've seen in a long
time.

I'm thinking that too. I'll probably see it tomorrow, then go see
"The International" on Monday as a nice thriller.

Yes, that's what I've heard as well.
In all reality, Keith, if your wife has been with you this long,
she's sensitive to a little sci-fi, so "Curious Case" is probably
your best call.

Thanks. What about "Confessions of a Shopaholic"? Hey...today is
Valentine's, and tomorrow is my anniversary. I gotta take the
"romantic comedy" bullet sometime soon!

"Curious Case" was good. I think you will enjoy it. "Push" is a
two hour Marvel Comic book written by a writer you never heard of
but an illustrator you love. So it looks good, but halfway in
you realize you've seen/read this all before. It ain't the
editing, it's the script. It's a rental.

Anyone see the movie "Push"? I was in Boston when it premiered last
week. I haven't heard much, other than some critics' reviews that
say it's a bit of a jumbled, hyperactive mess (told you I was
worried about the too-quick camera cuts!)
But though a few of us were initially anticipating it, I don't
recall any reviews or discussions here, certainly no praise for the
flick. Did anyone see it? How was it?
Along the same lines, I'm considering checking out Benjamin Buttons
and Coraline. Any thoughts on those?
