Love me some Hunt. Still think hers was one of the sweetest Best Actress wins in recent memory.<BR/><BR/>Going to see Deception in the morning against all better judgement. Ewan+Hugh=yum.

I'll be rushing out to see this. Maybe I'll prefer Hunt as a director rather than an actress.<BR/><BR/>Saw Baby Mama. Very funny, worth seeing in the theatre.

Even if the reviews are more mixed than is typical of an Errol Morris film, it's bound to be ten times more thought-provoking and nutritious than the rest of this week's openers combined. And he is one of the Great currently working filmmakers as far as I'm concerned (up there with Almodovar, Desplechin, Malick, the Iranians and the Coens).<BR/><BR/>Wolf Creek was technically really well done and technically horrifying but so pointlessly sadistic and exploitative that it left me a bit troubled. It's like a glossier, more exotic, more sophisticated cousin of those Saw films.<BR/><BR/>Rogue has already come and bombed in Australia. In stark contrast to Wolf Creek, it was roundly trashed by both critics and genre fans.<BR/><BR/>And unlike the world, I like Helen Hunt. Not only that, but I like her based on her movie performances (I barely saw any of Mad About You). But I don't know that I'm psychologically and spiritually ready for Helen Hunt the writer-director. Based on the trailer and that poster, the film looks every bit as glossy and sadistic as Wolf Creek.Y Kant Goran Ritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03058411467996289416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-81117140756594127232008-04-27T05:33:00.000-04:002008-04-27T05:33:00.000-04:00Baby Mama is alright.

Fey has her moments of hilarity, too, but is mostly playing "straight" to Poehler's wackiness.<BR/><BR/>And Wolf Creek was awesomely terrifying.
