AWESOME. Loved it. If you don’t like movies about pimps and hos and tricks and rap, then maybe this isn’t for you. I thought it was GREAT. I had to immediately buy the soundtrack. It’s hard out here for a pimp, yo!

DVD: The Constant Gardener
Rachel Weisz is luminous. And the beginning makeout scene, where they are just surrounded by white (a technique often used in portraits, you put them in front of white paper reaching to all sides, it’s like they’re floating), is really awesome. Very, very, very sad movie. And sadly – very REAL as well. There’s no doubt this stuff is happening. I highly recommend this paired with “Acts of Faith” by Philip Caputo (a book). Very intense.
Cable: Miss Congeniality 2
This movie isn’t half bad. Honestly, almost as funny as the first one (if you liked that), and seriously better than lots of other sequels such as Legally Blonde 2, the Matrix 2 or Charlie’s Angels 2. Very humorous girl-girl work relationship.
Netflix: To Kill a Mockingbird
My dad had never read this book b/c he had seen the movie first and loved it so much. I see what he’s talking about it. It is GOOD, altho…it is not the book. It’s of necessity somewhat condensed and I was so blown away by the book that this doesn’t quite live up. But compared to, you know, other movies rather than compared to the book, it’s really good. Gregory Peck is great in it. Dill has been said to be based on Truman Capote and that is really brought to life in the movie version.
