Zodiac
Jim and I saw Zodiac last night. All I can say is WOW, what a great movie. I had to go pee the entire time and did not feel like I could get up and go because I was sure I would miss something. The movie was 2 hours and 40 minutes long, and it was fascinating.
The only stand-out performance I can point to is Robert Downey Jr., who is one of the men in the movie who "lose themselves" to the investigation. He becomes a raging alcoholic and is unable to work due to his obsession with solving the case.
The costumes, sets and music that accompanied the movie's dialogue was right on. You felt like you could feel the polyester in the clothes, smell the smoke in the air and remember what it was like to ride in a gigantic old Dodge with no seatbelt on. I need to go buy that book.
The movie is definitely worth seeing, but don't drink a lot of soda before you go in!
