Matchstick Men

Trailer

I have HBO on Demand, which is about the greatest invention ever. I never, ever rent movies. In fact, I don't even have any kind of video store membership. But once in a while, it's great to sit down to watch something that starts when you want to watch it. Enter HBO on Demand.

I picked Matchstick Men out of the list on HBO and was pleasantly surprised. It was a little slow for me at first, and I'm not the biggest Nick Cage fan, but the story became more interesting, and Cage was very good in this movie. He plays a neurotic con man who finds out that he has a fourteen-year-old daughter. She impacts his life dramatically . . . but not in a sappy way. And watch out for the twist at the end. I love it when movies surprise me.

Definitely worth watching.

Movies I've Seen or Want to See

I don't really watch that many movies, but I really enjoy them when I do. I am 100% against wasting two hours on a bad movie, though; I prefer to be blown away.



I've started this blog to collect a list of movies I want to see so that when I do get the chance to watch a movie, I make sure it's something I've decided is going to be worth my time.



Any suggestions for additions to this list are welcome.
