So, thus far this list has only included movies I've given my full attention to, watching from beginning to end. I thought I'd expand on that in one "summary" post. Other flicks I've taken in most of, recently: Hackers, The Negotiator, and Throw Momma from the Train. Others I've seen bits and pieces of: Pretty Woman and Eyes Wide Shut. One I was recently reminded I really want to see again: Scent of a Woman (maybe I should see the original - Profumo di Donna).

The Matrix Reloaded. Another "X" movie. I really enjoyed it, but went in with expectations that weren't that high. I didn't, for instance, expect the plot to be coherent, which it wasn't, particularly. The action, the music, all that was great, but I actually did like more than that; I liked the focus on the nature of causality and free will. Not that I particularly liked what they had to say about it, just the focus.

I'm not actually totally convinced that, say, I couldn't just decide to have superman powers like Neo gets, if I really set my mind to it. Never have been. Different from a belief that the universe is subjective, right; just the belief that it's plausible. I'm interested to see what they do with the ending, when it's continued (come November).
