The Hollywood Scene

Hey all. Sometimes I feel the distance, and just wanted to get some feedback from friends back home on movies and stuff. For most movies there is a delay of a minimum of 4 months, so just wondering what to look for.
Not sure if there is a long delay going the other direction, probably not, but here are some movies that have been playing here and seemingly always sold out:
"Paradise Now"
"Die Weisse Massai"

I just saw the new "Wallace and Gromit", and I liked that alot. "Grizzly Man" is supposed to be good, too. It's about this guy who lived with girzzly bears but was brutally mauled by one while the video camera recorded the sound of it (the lens cap was on). The movie doesn't show any of that. Mostly it's just the footage he shot of himself with the bears. That one came out a couple of months ago here.

I heard about the 'grizzly' movie. It sounded like an interesting concept. I could picture a group of drunk or stoned guys sitting around thinking wouldn't it be cool to design a "grizzly-proof" suit. Saw it was some Canadian guy that did it. Not sure how much of a story is there about designing a Grizzly-proof suit...but i imagine the testing of the first design would be interesting.

I saw the 40 Year Old Virgin a while ago and I thought it was totally rad.

I haven't been to the theatre in a while. Last thing I saw was the Aristocrats, which was pretty hilarious.

As for things on DVD now, the Machinist was awesome, Sin City was pretty good, uhm... yeah.

I laughed and laughed at the 40 Year Old Virgin. I think I was crying at one point. It IS rad.
