All right. Let's do this.

A lot of movies in the can, so we'll cover some now, spending no more than 100 words on each. Unless I go over. I'm not stopping to count.

GOLDENEYE

The first James Bond movie featuring Remington Steele, and better than I expected when I first saw it. Still holds up all right, and more fun now to see Famke Janssen as the bad girl before she got all X-Men on us. The plot deals with the hijacking of a Russian space-based weapon, and there's another hottie in the mix, of course. All in all, Brosnan does all right, and I find myself coming back to this one more than I thought I would.

NO MAN'S LAND

I remember when this foreign film came out several years ago and got some good reviews. During the Bosnian-Serbian conflict, a solider from each side ends up in the same trench in between lines. There's some back and forth as each has the upper hand at different times, and it's a decent look at what a mess this sort of thing can be. We also get the whole media's role aspect, too, which is good. All in all, an interesting little movie, even if you have to read a lot of it.

THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH

It wasn't until after I finished this movie and heard that TCM guy say Alfred Hitchcock remade it with Jimmy Stewart and Doris Day that I realized, "Hey, there are two versions of this, and I just watched the wrong one." Very odd that the same director would do the movie twice, but I guess Hitch wanted a do-over after making it in Hollywood. This original is tight, if a little uneven. In short, a British couple whose friend died, leaving them a mysterious note, finds their daughter kidnapped. They try to get her back, but nasty Peter Lorre -- in his first English-speaking role -- isn't cooperating. Slow to start, but once it gets going, it's not bad, especially for being almost 75 years old.

DOWN IN THE VALLEY

Everytime I saw this in my DVR list, I thought of that HBO documentary series on porn. It's not, but it does have Evan Rachel Wood looking hot, especially when riding Eddie Norton. He plays an aimless hick in the San Fernando Valley, while Wood and her brother, a Culkin kid, are also adrift, none too happy to be living with David Morse, who is either their dad or stepdad. I never could tell. Anyway, these kids latch onto Norton, Morse doesn't like it, Norton proves weird in the head, and things eventually go bad. Intriguing for a while, but Norton's schtick got old, and the movie didn't go anywhere for a long time, then took a turn that was fairly predictable before ending kind of stupidly. So ... eh.
