I've been catching up on my 2006 releases, this week, with A Prairie Home Companion, The Queen, Pan's Labyrinth - which are as good as everyone keeps blathering - and The Prestige - which is incredibly watchable - as well as OSS 117, which surprised me - as I didn't know anything about the film prior to seeing it (my friend and I were bored so what the hell we thought; it was fairly cheap) - and my expectations, looking at the poster, were low: Dujardin's pose was awkward and we weren't 100% sure it was a comedy - I know, I know: obvious! still, like, whatever; I'd recommend watching it (I read somewhere that Dujardin's going to be the next Lucky Luke; rather pumped about that, myself), it's very well executed, and you don't get that many decent satires, plus, there are some actually funny scenes: Lucien badgering Slimane to go faster, faster, on the scooter, under the blueish filter, etc.
Caught The Librarian II today - formulaic drivel, of course, and Indiana did it better, still, Anwar used to look good, though that's been belittled - in recent times - by the "for her age" extension; um, Bob Newhart looks dead.
My inner nerd made me watch The 4400, Heroes, and Eureka; Heroes is pretty good, and the other two do have their moments from time to time, but whatever - I watched Being There yesterday; Hal Ashby is my hero (well, no, not really, but still); I do believe the last scene is a musing on Messianic figures and their insight (or lack thereof), but I could be wrong; Sellars' nifty - I've recently seen The Mouse That Roared, and After the Fox; the first is definitely better, but you'd probably get cinema nerd points by picking a De Sica.
