The Royal Tenenbaums - Excellent. Miss Potter - Really incredibly boring, and extremely over the top cheesy. Dragnet - Funnier than expected, pretty good. Vertigo - Wow. Really, wow. Also saw Potter 5 again, not as good as the first time through. And rewatched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, even better the second time, a frontrunner for my favorite movie of the decade thus far. In the middle of Mean Streets right now, good so far.

Cinema Verite at its finest. Beautiful movie. Best of the year.

Toni by Jean Renoir

very good film in the neo-realist tradition. although i guess it predates the rise of the genre by 20 or so years.
