Just catching up. The six or so entries below describe some things that I did over the past few weeks.

Juliette Binoche is amazing.

Hanju wanted to see this movie. I've been looking forward to it for weeks. There are something like three stories going on at once, and somehow none of them disappoint. There's the con, of course. There's the story of a man coming apart under his neuroses. And there's the story of a single man suddenly confronted with raising a teenage daughter. It could have been a mess, but the combination of a brilliant screenplay and perfect casting keeps everything on track.

Quite a relief after Once Upon a Time in Mexico. Saw them the same night with PJ and Lawrence.

10:41:29 PM      

Wow. Intense. Very stylish. A bit too much to take with its incessant close-ups and slow-motion examination of guns, explosions, and gore. It was a bit of a relief for it to end. I loved Johnny Depp.

10:40:51 PM      

I liked this book a lot. I really did. It's very well-written with entertaining bits of humor and obscure zoological facts. It's a magical adventure. The main character, Pi, is imaginatively conceived. However, all in all, I do not understand why this book won the Booker Prize. I enjoyed it very much, but I have to believe that there were more worthy books published this year.

Hanju and I picked 4.61 pounds of raspberries. It didn't look like all that much sitting at the bottom of the buckets we were carrying. As soon as I started washing them at home, it became clear that it was an immense amount of raspberries. Good with vanilla ice cream.
