Except this one is full of boring, clearn up work and lots of daydreaming to help me avoid the numness of work Without classes, I've been keeping myself busy at the movies. Yesterday, I went and saw The New World. I'm not sure if it's fair to call a director 'prolific' because he's only done a movie every 4 decades (or something like that) but I will say this much: the movie was thoroughly enjoyable. I heard or read somewhere that one of the actors commented that Malick likes to film grass, a lot of grass. This is clearly apparent in the cinematography. In parts, this appears more like a National Geographic expiditaion caught on camera but it all adds to the peace and wonderment that the new arrivals to America must have felt. Not too much dialogue which is probably for the best considering that Colin Farrell doesn't usually act so well when he talks (at least in MHO). I enjoyed this more than I thought I would and I have to agree with the critics here, it really is an amazing and beautiful accomplishment. I'd have a hard time seeing this up for any acting Oscars for 2007 but it will definately fill the other categories.

I'm bored out of my mind at work. It's been excruciatingly quiet for the past couple of days and I'm trying to keep busy but I'm running out of things to keep myself busy with. I can't wait 'till things pick-up a bit more. I'd give almost anything to be busy at the moment. There's only so much I can look up on the net.

I'm still undecided about what to see tonight but I'm leaning towards Munich. It looks and sounds interesting. At this rate, I may actually get this year's Oscar favourites under my belt before the ceremony. Might have to have an Oscar party.....
