    Watched (most of) The Iron Lady this weekend. Really terrible. I fully expected it to focus on Thatcher's political career. Instead, the majority of the film was a journey through her battle with senility, with bits and pieces of her political career thrown in as flashbacks. We couldn't make it all the way through it.

    Dammit! I was looking forward to seeing that one, but if it's not going to be about Thatcher as the PM, then fuggetaboutit!

    If not already mentioned, Baraka is one of the better movies I've seen. Additionally, the creators have made a new one (Samsara, opens in Denver on 9/7) that should be to the likings of those that enjoyed Baraka.
