I'm not dead, just being productive. Must act on inspiration when you have it, ya know?
PS. The Good Shepherd -- terrible.
Stranger Than Fiction -- still decent on a second viewing. Emma Thompson carries the movie.

Stranger Than Fiction - This movie is just what you expect it to be, and then more. There's humor like in the previews, but the plot also trails into love and romance (not the cheesy, 'A Walk to Remember' kind). Will Ferrell proves that he can also take on serious roles, Emma Thompson is always great, and the same goes for Dustin Hoffman. Queen Latifah sucks, but she only had a small role. I'm also going to marry Maggie Gyllenhaal, in case anyone asks. In the end, it's hard not to feel attached to Will Ferrell's character. There wasn't a single moment during the film where I was thinking, "Ugh, next scene please," which is pretty rare. Should be a minimum of at least an Oscar nod for the screenplay.
Rating: 8.5/10
