Last night we watched the drama "Nebraska." Bruce Dern plays an old alcoholic in the Midwest who believes that he has won the Publisher's Clearing House Sweepstakes. His son, in frustration, finally agrees to drive him from Billings, Montana to Lincoln, NE to the main office just to prove to him that he hasn't. Along the way father and son begin to come to an understanding of each other. The acting was excellent.

It's a bittersweet film. There are a few good laughs and some almost teary moments.

It's filmed in black and white which was a good pick for the dreariness of the post-fall scenery of that drive. It's also symbolic of the drab nature of the father-son relationship and their lives.

I wonder if the folks in NE are as offended by the characterization of the state's denizens as some Minnesotans were about "Fargo." Having lived in both states I'd say the film makers definitely captured the social ambience. These are the stoic, parochial ancestors of the pioneers who wouldn't know a feeling if it announced itself on a loud speaker - and, recognizing it, wouldn't find any purpose in expressing it.

Have to express my scorn at a set designer who can't tell the difference between a barn and a corn crib, though.

Collateral by Michael Mann. It is one of my favorites. I am going to watch Heat again, too.

I saw Edge of Tomorrow yesterday. A decent movie. I liked the Groundhog Day concept and the character Tom Cruise played. The rest was pretty boring.

Big joke.

And having dealt with a parent with failing mental faculties I can vouch for being unsure of when you are having your leg pulled.

The new Planet of the Apes movie. The previous one was so much better.
