A Few Good Men. More like A Few Good Scenes!
Kidding. It's good. Solid, well-crafted middlebrow courtroom drama with some great performances and Aaron Sorkin's least annoying writing. Tom Cruise has a "drunk scene" that's hilarious because he looks like a person who's never had a drop of alcohol in his life doing an impression of a belligerent drunk. Pretty funny

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Watching Knightriders. It's a George Romero movie about a group of motorcycle riding jousters led by Ed Harris.
I'm really enjoying it so far.

This was really good. A fun movie with a lot of heart and some cool motorcycle stunts. A very good Sunday afternoon movie.

I just watched a British crime/revenge movie called Avengement. It was a very simple story executed very well. They packed an unbelievable amount of action into 90 minutes.
