We just returned our final Blockbuster movie this week which happened to be Reign Over Me. It is a truly great movie with Don Cheadle and Adam Sandler. No funny stuff for Mr. Sandler in this one. He's dead serious and does an amazing job of it. However, for me the real star was Don Cheadle. He's officially my new favorite actor. I was completely impressed by his performance. He brings a real authenticity to his character. He plays a successful dentist who's dealing somewhat unsuccessfully with unrelenting pressures both at work and at home which have made him a more cowered man than he used to be. I'm not sure exactly how to describe it but he makes his character so real and believable. Also, the remake of The Who song, Love, Reign O'er Me, by Pearl Jam is absolutely fantastic! This is the Pearl Jam we all fell in love with back in 1991. This performance proves they still have that same energy and raw emotion. Now if they can just channel those qualities into their current full albums I might actually start buying them again. Anyway, the reason why we canceled our Blockbuster membership is that we just don't watch movies often enough to make the monthly fee worth it. So we decided to try out renting movies from the Xbox Live Marketplace. Our first one was Into the Wild. This was a great choice for an HD rental because of all the outdoor shots in Arizona, the pacific northwest and Alaska. Oh ya, there's the Eddie Veder connection with this one too. Eddie has turned out some of his best material in years with the soundtrack. It's officially on my list as a "must buy" for my mellow collection.
