And, how could I forget "The Wedding Crashers"? Talk about hysterical! Although, when my mom told me it was recommended to them I tried to talk her out of going.

Looking at the Bozeman movie listings over the weekend, it looks like the theater in the mall has several screens set aside for indie films as well.

Thinking back to the Billings conversation, it seems like there used to be a smaller screen in one of the theaters (maybe in Rimrock Mall?) that was used for indie films, but I'm not sure if that still exists, or if it ever did at all (and I just dreamed that or something).

Jarhead was pretty good. Like someone mentioned before, it didn't have the "attitude" of Full Metal Jacket and it was pretty much devoid of any fighting. If you go to it to see some of the typical "Americans smash the opposing forces" type of flick, avoid it. It focused a lot on the emotional/psychological distance that the MARINES experienced with their loved ones back home. Pretty darn good show. Jake Gylenhaal (sp?) did a pretty darn good job.

Walk The Line was awesome. Phoenix did a super job of not only acting but also singing. Reese Witherspoon did an excellent job as June Carter Cash.

I have never had the chance to see the "Hurt" video. Does someone, by chance, have a link of website that I could go to so I can watch it?

I'm a huge John Cusack fan so I have to ask if anyone has seen The Ice Harvest. I will probably check it out this weekend. I don't think Cusack has ever had a bad show.

You can go to yahoo and watch it from there. pretty sad video as it reflects over all of his life. He covered it from Nine Inch Nails and Trent Reznor has said that the only version he listens to now is Johnny's because of how powerful it is.
