Baby steps

My friends always told me having a baby would change my life. They were right but I couldn't be happier to have my life changed. I have managed to see a chunk of movies now that we are homebound more often. Here are 4 of my recent faves:

Grizzly Man-Bizarre documentary of bear activist Timothy Treadwell who eventually was eaten by his furry friends. Werner Herzog directs and his narration at times is a little corny but serviceable. The Treadwell-shot footage is an interesting look into the mind of the wannabe actor. See it.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang-This movie admittedly tries too hard to fit the Tarantino mold but is pretty good nevertheless. Robert Downey is very good and Val Kilmer is a little less stiff than usual.

Stay-I loved this movie. It ends and you know nothing. Similar to the end of Usual Suspects but in this movie you have no facts. You are forced to relive the movie in your mind to arrive at conclusions.

Enron/The Smartest Guys in the Room-Can this really happen? Tremendous documentary that shows what true scumbags Lay and Skilling really are, in Lay's case "was". Lay, another Bush butt buddy, got off easy. Gotta love that "Mark to Market" bookkeeping.
