I havent watched any movies for a while, I need to get some new ones. But Ive been watching a few episodes of Star Trek TNG the last couple nights. A blast from the past.

I watched one called Lake Mungo last night. A mockumentary of a girl who was drowned and her ghost came back. Eerie film, lots of twists and turns. Its fiction, but it comes off like the real thing.

A re-watch of a Spacey film: 21. Inspired perhaps from last month's read Moonwalking with Einstein. Me, not the film.
Entertaining :)

8/10

The last film I watched was Argo. I must admit, I'm not the biggest Ben Affleck fan, so I was definitely skeptical going in. However, I was pleasantly surprised! Ut turns out the hype was right - it *is* a great movie.

Agree, best movie I've seen in quite some time - I was totally gripped by it.

Did a re-watch of Argo last night...it had been awhile. Affleck was amazing. Ditto Arkin and Goodman. Deserved every award it received. 9/10

I Will Fight No More Forever with James Whitmore and Ned Romero. An account of Chief Joseph leading his tribe to escape to Canada to avoid being sent to a reservation. It was an accurate account of the history of the thing. Joseph with just 150 people, a lot of them women and children ran the army ragged until they finally had to give up just 40 miles from Canada. James Whitmore gave an excellent performance as General Howard, one of his best roles. It also had a young Sam Elliott as Howards aide. Its a keeper, this one.

It was. A lot of those old TV movies were kind of not much to them, but this one was a rare exception. This was interesting to me as Im from that part of the country and have seen some of those places.
