Has anyone seen "Blue Jasmine" yet? I am determined to see it buy keep getting sidetracked.

Watched A River Runs Through It last night. It has been a while, and I really enjoyed it. The scene towards the end when the boys are sitting with the dad by the riverside (after Brad Pitt's character caught the fish while going down the river) was touching. It made me want to have more similar experiences with my dad and brothers. I had forgotten how much the central theme is about family relations.

I watched "Leaving Las Vegas" with Nicholas Cage. I have liked the few movies I have watched him in and he won best actor for the film so I have had it on my netflix cue for a while and found some time Saturday night to watch it. It sucked. It was too long, too boring, and I just wanted him to die so the movie would end. I felt like I learned everything about his character in the first 10 minutes of the show and then just watched him drink himself to death for the next hour and half. I guess I just didn't get it.
