Going to the Movies

Well it looks like we're finally nearing the end of the fall duldrums when it comes to the movies, as this week we at least have a mix of crap and decent choices. Plus, we're starting to see the first of the heavy Oscar contenders.

Quarantine - this falls in the aforementioned 'crap' category. A bunch of people get locked in an apartment building with something creepy that also involves a government conspiracy. Yawn.

Body of Lies - this is the one with Leo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe in a spy thriller. Not only is it supposed to be pretty good, but a lot of it was filmed in D.C. so you can go play spot the scenery. The scene with Russell Crowe in front of J. Pauls in Georgetown, look for me in the background :)

RocknRolla - a Guy Ritchie period piece set in London. Bottom line, if you liked Snatch, you'll probably like this. Also stars Tom Wilkinson, who I'm a huge fan of.

The Duchess - A Keira Knightley period piece where she plays a damsel in distress? Yeah, I know, shocking. This one has a lot of Oscar buzz, but I'm just not sure I could sit through another one of these movies.
