Movies To See:

TRUST
Directed by David "Friends" Schwimmer, this involves a fourteen year old girl getting into a cyber-relationship with what turns out to be a (much) older man. This could have been exploitative or TV movie preachy, but thanks to subtle intelligent direction and great performances it avoids both pitfalls. I don't want to give too much away, but I was happy I went and saw this. If it is playing around you (which is unlikely, as I believe it is getting a very small theatrical release) and you're feeling adventurous, I'd say give it a chance. Otherwise, definitely a good one for DVD.

SOURCE CODE
Somewhat silly, but quite enjoyable, science fiction. I think it is less intelligent than it thinks it is, but I had a good time with this one. Again, the less you know going in, the better. Tight, suspenseful, and thought-provoking. Good performances, Jake Gyllenhaal is starting to grow on me (full disclosure, not a big Donnie Darko fan). Since most of what passes for science fiction these days involves giant robot fights, it was refreshing to see a film with somewhat complex characters and situations. Still, not as deep as it is trying to be. Definitely worth a look. It will lose a bit on TV, so check it out in the theatre if you can.

I also saw THE BOOK OF MORMON on Broadway. Funny stuff, but somewhat too typical of other work by Trey Parker and Matt Stone (do I need to mention they do SOUTH PARK?) I laughed and had a good time, but was never, frankly, surprised by anything that happens. If there could have been a bit of surprise in there I would have liked it better. Not a bad play at all (possibly some of my reluctance to embrace it comes from a dislike of musicals in general other than Grease and Rocky Horror), and I will probably pick up the cast album when it comes out. Plus, I saw Larry David in the audience, who is by far one of the funniest people ever (not that Trey and Matt aren't also).

Coming soon: THOR!
