Two more movies this week:

The Italian Job, starring Charlize Theron and Mark Wahlberg

I liked it. I liked it a lot. But probably not as much as Ocean's Eleven, say, because I didn't think it was as funny or as original. I am going to watch the original of the Italian Job, I'm often interested in doing that with remakes. Anyway, it was good to have an action flick to watch.

Battlestar Galactica, starring Lorne Green, if anyone's memories go back that far

I found it amusing how much of this seemed to be not-so-subtle commentary on nuclear disarmament and the Cold War.
Definitely a vintage piece. The hair was... upsetting. So were the gender roles. But I thought it would be good to watch before I started watching the new series. And I enjoyed it somewhat - I'm glad I stuck it out to the end.

Oh, I love the original Battlestar Galactica. Starbuck = my personal hero. :)

Heh. :) I didn't really have a character that I was crazy about, but it was a fun movie.

I'm looking forward to borrowing your DVDs of the new series, if you're still up for that and I'm not confusing you with someone else (I can't find the post where we talked about it).

Not me--I have the entire old series, but none of the new. I get my angsty drama from Joss Whedon, so I don't watch the new BG. :)
