This is such a great film from the 90′s. A total gem.

I remember the Butterfly Man telling me this story years ago about a guy who walked across a wire between the Twin Towers. I thought it was bullshit. Later, I looked it up on the internet and it turns out that it really happened.

Lat weekend I saw Man on Wire (★ ★ ★ ★ ★) which is an amazing documentary about Philippe Petit’s wire walk in 1974. The story of how a Philippe and a few friends pulled this off is wonderful and almost unbelievable “coup” is skillfully retold. There’s a surprising amount of footage from the 70′s—even leading up the the event.

This one will hit you on a few different levels. See it just for the bell bottoms!

So I’ve been sick with a cold/flu thing for a couple weeks but I’ve still managed to see a few movies.

  • Indiana Jones IV lacked spontaneity but was still pretty good. I’m glad they brought back Karen Allen. Did you know she makes sweaters now? (★ ★ ★)
  • Iron Man was rad. I saw it once but Sheila saw it 3 times! (★ ★ ★ ★ ★)
  • Kung Fu Panda was a well done kids film that adults will enjoy. I got good vibes from it. ( ★ ★ ★ ★)
  • Made of Honor never really got off the ground (★ ★)
  • Speed Racer had heart but didn’t blow my hair back (★ ★)
  • Sex and the City delivered the goods even though they spent a fair amount of time throwing flowers at each other. (★ ★ ★)
  • You Don’t Mess with the Zohan had us laughing all the way through. Also, it had a nice message. (★ ★ ★ ★)
  • What happens in Vegas was run of the mill but had good performances that took it up a notch. (★ ★ ★)
  • Son of Rambow surprised me and was really very clever and sweet. (★ ★ ★ ★)

The guy from Shawn of the Dead made a romantic comedy and David Schwimmer from the TV show “Friends” directed it. It had a couple good laughs and was a fairly harmless movie.

Check out the website.

A cute and clever romantic comedy from France. It had a lot of twists and turns. I really enjoyed it!

Watch the trailer.

Not a bad film but not great either but still fun to watch but not gonna win any awards but it was better than Penelope. The production design was amazing and the acting was solid so the whole thing was easy on the eyes. Frances McDormand is always great but catch it on cable.
