The Invention of Lying

This was a comedy with Ricky Gervais and Rob Lowe. It was kind of an interesting world they created, a world without lying. Their movies were readings of history. The main character is a screenwriter. His period of history to write from was 1300's.

Somehow Ricky Gervais' character invents lying and starts to get what he wants out of life. Pretty interesting stuff, especially religion.

44 Inch Chest

I saw this during a stay in Palm Desert for work. I went to a theater called the Palme de Or. They didn't ask me, but they sold me a "senior" ticket. I do have some grey hair, but I didn't think I looked 55. Oh well.

This movie was a very interesting psychological film dealing with uncomfortable issue of a domestic violence. Kind of an upsetting film. Ray Winstone stars in it. I did enjoy the film though.
