Movie Saturday

Brett (no one will object if I use his real name from now on, right?) and I saw two movies yesterday.

Thumbs up: For Your Consideration
This was the first Christopher Guest movie I've seen, though I've been interested in the last few he's done. The ensemble was on several Sunday news/entertainment shows last weekend. They are all great actors, and the movie was hilarious.

Thumbs halfway: Syriana
I didn't hate this movie, but I didn't love it either. It was very well acted and the story was good, but it seemed overly complex. I did like the fact that the writers didn't neatly tie up the various plot lines; they let the viewers use their brains. I know that sounds contradictory. I guess I wanted to have to think, but not that much.
