One movie I forgot to mention was Public Enemies, the Dillinger movie starring Johnny Depp. I thought it was pretty good, although it didn't quite live up to expectations. Depp, as usual, gave a good performance and the supporting cast was good as well. Michael Mann's direction was good, although not quite as stylized as his usual work.
Overall I think I'd grade Public Enemies out with a, "B."

I'm really looking forward to seeing Avatar come December. First Cameron movie since Titanic. Also, Pirate Radio looks like it may have the goods. I read a Wyndham book over the summer that takes place in that time frame and has some characters who are running a pirate radio station in the English Channel.
