Tom,

I don't blame you about eschewing new films.

I'm a bit different. I go to new movies on a selective basis, that way I am not frequently disappointed, just occasionally.

The three recent films I've watched were: "The Black Dahlia", "Hollywoodland" and "The Departed".

The first one was a pathetic, putrid piece of fecal matter, the second fair to interesting and I dug the heck out of "The Departed" even if it was over the top in certain places.
