Last weekend, Broken Flowers (Good, not REALLY good)

Billy Murray in his Lost In Translation mode, i.e., well to do, alone, melancholy, cold and empty. He does this well, but IMHO, it may soon become tiresome.

A story of a journey of discovery and not necessarily self discovery, with very interesting vignettes along the way. However, this is a story about the journey, not the end. If one can be happy on that level, it may rise above "just" good. Great performances by Jessica Lange and Sharon Stone. Several other strong female turns as well but they definitely stood out. The actor playing Murray's neighbor, an arab who's a wanna be detective, simply steals every scene he's in.

Recommended, but not on the level of Lost In Translation. Saw it at our Angelika, packed, late Sunday afternoon.
