Another couple of movies this weekend. Definitely not main stream stuff.
A Single Man
This is a story that centers on an English professor who, after the sudden death of his partner, tries to go about his typical day in Los Angeles. Colin Firth plays the main character and does a great job. This movie was written and directed by Tom Ford, the clothing designer for Gucci. Kind of depressing, with some surprises along the way, but a well done effort. Not for everybody, given the subject matter. 3 Junior Mints
Legion
An interesting movie about the apocolypse, survivors, and the fate of the world. From IMDB; "An out-of-the-way diner becomes the unlikely battleground for the survival of the human race. When God loses faith in humankind, he sends his legion of angels to bring on the Apocalypse. Humanity's only hope lies in a group of strangers trapped in a desert diner with the Archangel Michael". We thought this was a interesting concept with great potential, but both the storyline and the acting fell just a bit short. There were many familiar faces - Dennis Quaid, that 'big guy from 3:10 to Yuma', Paul Bettany, The Roc. 3-1/2 Junior Mints
