"J Edgar" is on my list, but don't know if it's any good.

I'd like to see this. More just because of the history, but it looks like it might be a good movie.
Is that the one with Leonardo???

J.Edgar was very good.
I saw Acts of Valor yesterday. This is one with the Navy Seals. Not for the squeamish but if you like action movies this is the one for you.

I heard it was horribly over-acted. True?

3 high school students obtain super powers.
A bit too much at the end like spiderman ,with all the indestructible smashing through buildings.
But I did walk out repeating to myself,absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Not a waste of money,but not a classic.

I saw it too, the kid didn't even need to knock over a convenience store, he could have used his powers to extract money from an atm.
I'm sure if Klein had seen the movie, he would have said all that tragedy could have been avoided if there were free medical benefits in the United States.

A couple of movies that my wife and I have gone to see recently...
"The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" was a fairly good movie. I had a bit of a hard time following the plot at first because I havent read the book, but once I got the names figured out I was able to keep up. I personally had a very difficult time dealing with the extremely graphic rape scene, but my wife (who read the book) assured me that the rapist would get what he had coming in the end (and he did, no pun intended) so that made it a little easier. I give the movie a "B".
"The Decendants" with George Clooney was one of the 5 best movies I have ever seen in my life. It should have gotten an Oscar. I give it an A+++. Not a good movie to see if you are offended by harsh language. The father in me was a teeny bit bothered by the teen and preteen girls potty mouths, but it was a genuinely warm and funny and tearjerking movie at the same time. I have always been a George Clooney fan and he did an excellent job here.

We watched Harlan County U.S.A. last night, powerful documentary about the Kentucky coal miner strike in the mid 70's. As a union member it's a reminder that a lot of the things we might take for granted at work like the good pay, healthcare benefits, etc weren't just handed out, they were fought for by earlier generations of workers who very often had nothing to lose.
