Reign Over Me - Brilliant. Adam Sandler proves again that when he's doing a real movie, he's a real actor. Reminded me of a cross between the Fischer King and Punch Drunk Love.

Fallen - Decent. It's no Seven, which it's trying to be I think, but still a fun enough cop/murder/thriller/mystery thing.

I watched Fallen because Azzy made me (i.e. talked about it, like, once) and it's pretty good.

Fallen is one of my favorite movies where the bad guy wins.

"I wanna tell you about the time I almost died..."

Great cast too. Denzel Washington, Donald Sutherland, John Goodman. The director, Gregory Hoblit, does pretty well with "B-movie"-type genre flicks. Primal Fear and Fracture are good examples.

Yeah it's not very well known I don't think. It's about a guy whose wife and kids were killed in the 9/11 attacks; and he basically got severe PTSD and couldn't deal with it. His old college roommate bumps into him and tries to help him.

I LOVE Reign Over Me. Yet it seems so few have even heard of it, sad.
