Goodbye O.C.

I think the title of this post says it all. Was there a more sad day then the end of my generation's first meaningful teen soap-opera? Personally, I thought the fourth season brought in some fresh ideas and could have carried some momentum into a fifth season....but that is why I simply blog and do not make important decisions. Here's a look at the final episode. R.I.P. O.C.

The Good Shepherd

Just rented and watched The Good Shepherd yesterday, and wanted to share a few thoughts . First, I really like DeNiro as a director, besides an actor. This movie is clever, and is to the point. Damon does a great job as the "choir boy" CIA agent, who is simply fulfilling the oath he swore to when he first decided to take the job. I was honestly very surprised by this movie, especially considering it is a fairly confusing movie, but it could have been much worse in that area. I suggest you rent this for yourself and check it out.

Zodiac

This movie was actually done really well. I enjoyed the soundtrack, which made the movie even creepier than it already was (Hurdy Gurdy Man by Donovan especially). Jake Gyllenhaal did a pretty good job as the obsessed cartoonist who attempts to solve perhaps the country's most twisted serial killer case. Although the movie dragged on a little in the middle, there was more than enough here to warrant my attention. If I was to put a rank on it, I would say a solid 4 out of 5 "stars" or whatever you would like to call them.
