family drama



strangely, all of the screeners i watched in the past 2 days had something to do with family conflict. is there any other kind?
here's the list:

"before the devil knows you're dead"
really good. Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Sidney Lumet directed. i guess i can finally forgive Lumet for fucking up "the wiz".

"the savages"
another Phillip Seymour Hoffman film. it didn't suck, whatever.

"dan in real life"
i couldn't get past the premise, which is so implausible and contrived that i shut it down after 40 minutes. don't get me wrong, i love implausible and contrived, but they couldn't pull it off.

"lars and the real girl"
i really enjoyed this movie. Ryan Gosling has got the goods. he has an amazing inner dialog.

"once"
shut down after 30 minutes. i was just not in the mood.

'the bucket list"
Lifetime, television for women... starring two old geezers. i didn't shut it down. Nicholson has some funny lines.
