The Numbers Station. A pretty good thriller about those strange broadcasts of numbers that can be heard all over the world on short wave radio.
Identity Theft
I thought this was good. Sappy ending, but funny.
I liked it as well, but my friend and I walked out of the theater in complete agreement that the worst thing we could say about it was that there's nothing special about it--if you've seen movies like Mulholland Falls, L.A. Confidential (1997), The Untouchables (1987), and/or Chinatown (1974), you've already seen it. Also, some of the dialogue is clichéd and too clever for it's own good. Otherwise, it's not bad. Solid performances, good soundtrack, and if you're into late-40s Los Angeles it looks beautiful.I liked the Gangster Squad well enough...
Trying to watch "Mulholland Falls." It's been many years since I last saw it. Wasn't much of a fan then and feeling the same way now although the cars sure are purty.

I'm glad you mentioned this because I feel similarly about that film, but know its loved by many on this forum... It should all be there: great cast, great hats/clothes, great cars, etc. But I find the film totally empty and not interesting. The film seems like an beautifully set stage waiting for a decent story.
^^^Sounds like an interesting documentary, Touch.
