The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. I think Danny Kaye can no longer really entertain me. I can see he is brilliant, but his type of humor is outmoded, sort of.

My Darling Clemantine
Starring Henry Fonda as Wyatt Earp
Directed by John Ford.
Superb black and white photography and well acted. Ford even knew Wyatt Earp back in the twenties, who told him exactly how the Gunfight at the OK Corral took place. So you can expect to see the most accurate version of that event right? Wrong! There were characters there who should not have been, while others who were there, were not shown at all. Doc Holliday even gets shot and dies when even I knew he died of consumption a few years afterwards. Other events and characters leading up to the shoot out were also changed.

At the Cinema: Burn After Reading
This is black comedy of the blackest sort -- very funny. The Cohen brother's tell stories about bumblers. Sometimes they bumble themselves into a happy ending (O' Brother Where Art Thou) and sometimes not (Fargo).
Burn is more in the vein of Fargo, and to my mind (I know this is heresy) is a better or more to the point, more fully realized bit of story telling than was No Country for Old Men. At least I enjoyed this one more.
Also -- Wife & Daughter saw Death Race. They liked it. Roger Corman lives.
:wink:

Rented "Son of Rambow", a british film...VERY good! Funny with a good story to it.
Also rented "Street Kings" with Keanu Reaves and Forest Whitaker. About an L.A.P.D. special Vice unit that goes outside of the law to enforce it. VERY cool film...had an interesting story about how far people should/will go to see justice done. Keanu Reaves had an interesting line in it, when he was asked by his girlfriend:
Girlfriend: "What about the truth?"
Keanu: "What about it? It's all on how we write it up".
He is referring to the report that gets submitted after an incident...pretty interesting.
