Party Down: Season 1
The porn star banquet and the Russian mob celebration are my favorite eps so far. (Yup.)

The Invention of Lying
Unintended consequence: anti-religious? Pity.

Departures
What a fascinating profession, casketing. And, oh, so very Japanese.

The Hurt Locker
Hubby thinks this is about futility. I think it's about addiction. It's safe to assume we're both right.

Whiteout
Cons: the editing, the sound, the abysmal acting, the confusing final sequence. Pros: original graphic novel drawn by a pal.

The Proposal
Recipe: basic guy-meets-girl base, peppered with clever lines and shaken between two comedians. Plus: a large dose of hot sauce for Bullock taking it all off.

In the Loop
"At the end of a war, you need some soldiers left, really, or else it looks like you've lost." If I were Gandolfini, I would have paid to deliver that line.

The Brothers Bloom
First half hour: delicious, actorly tics. Rest of film: the fatal mistake of getting too serious.

A Single Man
I wish I hadn't known who Tom Ford was prior to watching the film. (Colin Firth is pretty stellar, though.)

Pandorum
Really? A 28% rating on Rotten Tomatoes? I'd give it at least a 60%.

Ah. A far better use of the phrase "I'll be back."
