it's not life that matters but the journey...

no, actually "Intermission" was really good. I enjoyed it a lot! it's like an Irish Woody Allen flick, with lots of swearing. it had a little of everything: action, comedy, sex, romance, and drama. The acting was very good too - Cillian Murphy (who I love), Colin Farrell (I usually don't like him, but he's quite good in this), Kelly MacDonald, and Colm Meaney (who is really a great actor). I highly recommend it!

the one that sucked was "Highway" with Jake Gyllenhaal and Jared Leto (a horrible actor!). Jake was the only redeeming factor, and he struggled with a terrible script and even worse direction. I'll write more about it later, but I don't recommend it at all. it was poorly edited and pointless. a waste of time.

"Batman Begins" was quite good - it was my second time viewing that. and "Howl's Moving Castle" (which you just had on the daily movie), was very fun - especially since I watched it with Japanese and could practice my understanding!
