Saw Doubt--I agree excellent performances, vague ending. Could totally tell it was a play!

Yeah -- totally could see the play coming through. I just heart Phillip Seymour Hoffman.

I loved The Spectactular Now! I agree, great voice.

It was one of those books that I think is SO YA, too, really pitch-perfect for teens. I could see some adults saying not, but I think it offers a lot to think about, and a safe venue to explore some pretty tricky situations.

So, Charlie Bartlett, good?

lizgallagher January 3 2009, 03:22:34 UTC

Yeah, worth seeing. Not SUPER-GOOD, but I liked it.

Ooh, I've had my eye on Spectacular Now. It's a good read, then?

Yeah, it's its own animal. Not cookie cutter at all, and I really did like the voice.

Oh, and congrats on being a Cybils finalist!
