I recommend that, in a season of some really good movies, you see this first. The story is great, the script excellent, the acting totally believable, the direction consistently good, and the ending is deserving.
Warning: no one gets shot, no car chases, nothing explodes, any special effects are invisible, and no stunt men broke a sweat on this film. In other words, it's American film making at its finest.
Harrison Ford and Brendan Fraser are totally believable. Even the kids, co-stars and bit actors are getting it all right.
I give it five stars.

Watched a handful recently, here's the ones I remember.
I know I'm missing a few, half the time with TV I can't tell you what I just watched. ADDTV.
Noise:
Pretty good, Tim Robbins pissed about the noise that comes with living around millions of people, especially car alarms.
Donner Party:
New flick with Crispin Glover which kinda sucked.
Couples Retreat:
This movie was going nowhere and at the 45 minute mark if felt like 2 hours. Turned off at 46th minute.
Time Travelers Wife:
Pretty good flick and I fell asleep at the end where I believe something happened. Woke up to the sounds of sobbing.
The Hurt Locker:
Not bad, but not necessarily good. Good thing was that there was only one Hollywood bang bang scene of people posing with machine guns and Rambo mouth.
Don't remember the name:
Guys have to be mentors to kids so they don't go to jail. Pretty funny. These movies are a dime a dozen, director must have bought the template from Adam Sandler.
Inglorious Basterds:
Watched this for the second time and I still feel like the movie didn't jive. It was good but there was something about it that didn't mesh...
Open Range:
Good K Costner western. Really good
Dead Man's Bounty:
A surprisingly good polish western tipping their hats to the older spaghetti flicks. Eerie, nothing going on, nasty teeth, and in the middle of nowhere and nothing good is going to happen. Val Kilmer plays the dead man.

We watched a few movies over the last couple of evenings. Really liked the new Star Trek; Duplicity with Clive Owen and Julia Roberts was ok. Last night we watched one that sounded promising - What Just Happened, with Robert DeNiro, Sean Penn, John Turturro, Bruse willis, Stanley Tucci - lots of talent. It was a total DUD. The DVD cover said things like 'outright hilarious', 'laugh out loud' etc. No way, not even close...
