More DVDs

I watched another batch of DVDs last week.

First Fame from 1980 (no picture) - full of energy and music with a real honesty about it. Still great after all these years.


The Bucket List - you can't go wrong with Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson - absolutely wonderful acting, humorous and true to life.


21 - good amount of tension, an intriguing story line, some romance, satisfying ending.


Should have been hilarious - lots of wooden jokes and situations, did not connect with any emotional reality - something to have on while you're doing something else, or one for the kids.


Thoughtful, mysterious, engaging. The time shifts from the present to the past help to fill in the spaces and complete the story - what you think is not what is. A wonderful movie.
