UPDATES

APOLOGIZES FOR SLACKING. I have been seeing movies, but not writing reviews. I will summarize:

If you haven't seen No Country For Old Men, go NOW.

American Gangster is good but not overwhelmingly good or life changing.

Ratatouille was well made, but the characters suffered from lack of development.

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is a well crafted example of film as art. Impressively done.

Grace is Gone is a very subtle, but moving film that brought the entire packed audience to tears. Cusack is phenomenal.
