Factotum (2005)

A wannabe writer (Matt Dillon) with a drinking problem, wanders around L.A.  He loses job after job and meets a few women (Lili Taylor, Marisa Tomei), also with drinking problems.

One might think a story like this wouldn't be very interesting, yet I couldn't stop watching.  Little bits of unintended humor, here and there, were a big help.  8/10

Now that I've had a stretch of calm weather here, others get hit with something disruptive.

I guess every one of us gets there turn with weather problems in one form or another.

I would argue that Common Sense was the most influential piece of writing in U.S. history.  It broadened the thinking of so many people.

Thanks Mr. Paine.

View from the Top (2003)

A small town girl (Gwyneth Paltrow) has dreams of becoming a first-class international flight attendant.  After inspiration from her highly successful idle (Candice Bergen), she goes after her dream.  Her journey is complicated by a new boyfriend (Mark Ruffalo) and an envious stewardess (Christina Applegate).  There are some good laughs in the film, especially from her flight attendant instructor (Mike Myers).  Very enjoyable.  9/10

That film is listed as Horror and Action, with no reference to comedy.  Perhaps you found some humor in it because it is so bad.  :)

Last night's low was near the freezing mark.  High today was 47oF (9oC), with the rest of the week similar. 
So much for that warm break.   :squint:

Today is Patriots' Day here in Massachusetts, the only state in my country that has this holiday.
It commemorates the battles of Lexington and Concord, which were fought near Boston in 1775 by the brave men who stood up against British rule and King George.  The start of the Revolutionary War.

Truth (2015)

While George W. Bush is running for his secind term, Mary Mapes (Cate Blanchett) believes she’s broken the biggest story of the 2004 election concerning the sitting President’s military service.  After Dan Rather (Robert Redford) reports this news, allegations pour in and sources (Stacy Keach) change their stories.  Now Mary and her colleagues (Dennis Quaid, Elisabeth Moss, Topher Grace) are investigated.

A great presentation of a national controversy that I remember very well.  9/10

Houdini (2014)

This was a very good 2 part series of the life of Harry Houdini.  Adrien Brody does a terrific job portraying the master escape artist.  I was especially pleased by the shows historical accuracy.
