the great buck howard

last night k asked me if i wanted to go see the great buck howard... i hadn't heard anything about it... so she told me it had john malkovich, colin hanks, tom hanks, and steve zahn... and that it was about a washed up magician who gets his second break... i am mostly creeped out by john malkovich... but i just washed burn after reading not too long ago... and i actually liked him in that... and i like little hanks and big hanks... and steve zahn (and emily blunt, who was also in it)...

and i didn't have anything else to do last night... so off we went...

i'm wondering if the best way to go see movies is to have no expectations going in... this is the second time k has suggested a movie that i hadn't seen a preview for (the last one was slumdog millionaire - pre-oscars, btw)... and that second time that i've been really impressed...

it might not have been a great movie, but i found myself "buying in" a lot... and it was not trashy... it was one of those movies that has glimmers of goodness in it... so it won my approval...

good times, indeed...

now on to gilmore and A LOT of chores and laundry before work tonight...

p.s... after i wrote "slumdog millionaire," the song from it came on the music channel on tv... weird.
