Juicy Movies of January (26)

A few sick days and a run of some new movies in the cinema brought out a good month for the films. If you haven't seen There Will Be Blood yet, I definitely recommend you make a trip. Two rewatchings of Primer did the trick (I'm finally close to understanding the movie), and for some reason I keep catching the last 20 minutes of Waiting (arguably the least funny part). Also got some good re-watches of childhood classics in (Great Balls of Fire, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves).

Special performance of the month award goes to Morgan Freeman as a Muslim in Robin Hood. Who knew deadpan humor in a foreign accent could be so funny? Oh, that's right, Sacha Baron Cohen.
