Megan is Missing. Most disturbing movie I've ever seen in my life, not exaggerating. Creepily realistic in the last half hour.
Children love and want to be loved and they very much prefer the joy of accomplishment to the triumph of hateful failure. Do not mistake a child for his symptom.

That biographical movie about Charles Darwin called "Creation". Excellent, vivid portrayal of a conflicted yet brilliant man. I admit to crying several times.
Mona Lisa -- and I thought it was excellent. I didn't get to the theater so often in the 80s, so now I have the pleasure of finding these hidden gems. I like Bob Hoskins anyway, but he plays this character brilliantly. George is scripted to be a man who is not the brightest bulb on the string, but at the same time he gets things without ever truly 'getting them.' An example is when he is talking to his estranged daughter and explains his absence as "I was in a bad lot, " to which she asks whether he is still in a bad lot and he replies, "That isn't really for me to say, is it?" Again and again he elucidates the thing right in front of him for others while remaining vaguely baffled himself.

Haensel and Graetel: witch hunters. It was very amusing. Cheesy but I liked it. I'll likely watch it again when it's on HBO or Netflix.

I watched an Adam Sandler movie. I forget the name, but it's about a middle school boy gets his teacher pregnant. He grows up and the child hates him, but he's trying to reunite with his son for a television show.
Its not Adam Sandler's best movie, but it's pretty good.
