This is my current list of movies currently playing near me that I want to see; as I see them I'll lean them over (tm GreenTuna) and give a review at the end until I run out of AOL allotted space.
In America, The Cooler, Monster, Cold Mountain, Lost in Translation, Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Mystic River, House of Sand and Fog, 21 Grams, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, The Last Samurai.
UPDATES - Here is what I've seen:
Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King: a great ending to a great epic. The wrap-up and intros were a little long, but the central story was gripping and moving. A monumental epic.
In America - incredibly moving movie about a young Irish immigrant family trying to make their way in life in NYC while coming to terms with the death of their son and brother. So much rings true here and the two children in the movie are absolutely outstanding. Why didn't this movie get a Best Picture nomination?!
Lost in Translation - huh? Lost on me. Ok, Bill Murray's middle-aged angst was well done, but overall the movie was boooorrrinng. I couldn't wait for it to end.

Cold Mountain is one I really want to see!
I bet it's much cooler at the movie theatre!
I just saw a preview for "The Cooler" today. It looks very very good.
