Broadcast News

Some films I've seen lately;

4 Months, 3 Weeks and Two Days - Super-intense movie set in 1987 Romania detailing a very painful day in the life of two women, one of whom is pursuing an "illegal" abortion. Very difficult to watch, but ample rewards.

The Nines - lame supernatural thriller with Ryan Reynolds and Hope Davis.  They both play 3 separate characters.  One of Ryan's is gay.  That is compelling on some level.  Otherwise, no thanks. John August, who wrote GO makes his directorial debut here.

Smiley Face - Hysterical Anna Faris stoner comedy.  Doesn't really add up and never achieves the splendor of Dude Where's My Car, but there are some very very funny scenes and Anna is always a treat.
