Just got back from Mystic River.  Couple friends and I wanted to see a movie but not that heavy of a movie.  I'm not going to do a review here but personally, I'm not sure what the entire point of the movie was, if there was one.  Sean Penn acted very well, as always, and Tim Robbins is his freaky self, though in this movie to his extreme detriment.  Kevin Bacon (thank the Lord we don't see his Bacon's bacon, unlike in Wild Things) acted decently well and Laurence Fishburne is his usual alpha-male wise/bad ass self.  All in all, I think I liked the movie.  More for the way it was done, perhaps, than its content.  Not going to qualify any of those statements cause I'm lazy :)  I wouldn't really go see it again or buy it on DVD but for I've seen much worse for more than $5.50. (Like Meet Wally Sparks, of which we shall never speak again).

Wait a second...IMDB thinks that if I liked Meet Wally Sparks then I should check out The Godfather???  That's like saying that they would recommend my trying out a BMW Z4 since I've enjoyed driving around in a 72 Pinto! (Aa car whose main redeeming grace, I think, is that since its gas tanks is situated right behind its rear bumper, you can blow one up by rear-ending it!  Be sure to rear end a Pinto next time you see one on the streets.  It's gotta be worth at least a hojillion points.)

In other news, why does the Xanga editing box blow?  Messes up my A tags left and right and messes up its own tags with equal efficiency!
