spider-man 2 - wow. it's shocking that it was so much better than the first one (which i enjoyed, but not so much after the first viewing or two). raimi's pacing and construction of the narrative was excellent, and made the action sequences that much more impressive and exciting. i was practically hiding under my seat when molina's transformation sequence finally arrived. and when i say "finally" i wonder if the movie will actually seem flawed to some audiences - too much talking and not enough web-slinging? i was satisfied, because the action sequences were so well done (the train scenes, in particular), but it IS a long movie, and there wasn't nearly as many battle sequences as i thought there was in the first one.
oh, and after coffee & cigarettes and spider-man 2, alfred molina is totally rocking my socks.
secret window - damn. that was BAD. bad, bad, bad. bad. really bad.
