    The Master

    And The Words.

    Can someone -- with the obligatory spoiler alert -- explain the ending of that one for me?

    He absolutely did. The Presidio is the shitio. That's the one where Sean Connery plays Meg Ryan's dad.

    "The Fantastic Mr. Fox"

    Very Wes Anderson-y.

    Not for nothin', but Mark Harmon - while no better an actor now than he was when he started - never stopped working, at least on television.

    "Looper" on Friday night.

    Just awesome. Totally original storytelling despite seeing Johnson's influences all over this movie, including Minority Report and Terminator and Primer.

    JGL was fantastic as Young Joe and despite KNOWING it was him in that makeup, I never thought about it the entire film. He was that good.

    Bravo, Rian Johnson.

    "The Master."

    More thoughts to follow at some point, but I'd like to watch it again and completely try to watch it as a father-son movie, metaphorically, rather than one about religion. Because the more I think about it, the more I think it was a father-son movie.

    Also: I'd put Phoenix's performance alongside Christian Bale's in "The Fighter" as the most Brando-ish performance of the 21st century to this point.

    Prometheus - This time on the TV. I thought the visuals were amazing in the theater. On the small screen it's just not the same and the result is the stupid script gets magnified. I chance my opinion from pleasant surprise to mostly awful.

    "The 16th Man," which is basically "Invictus" distilled down to an ESPN "30 for 30" documentary. This time, Morgan Freeman does narration instead of pretending to be Nelson Mandela.

    By the way, ESPN Classic is showing the entire first set this week -- and they're also available online and via Comcast OnDemand.
