Many movies this weekend--saw
Walk the Line was fantastic--the acting and the story were outstanding--this is a serious Oscar contender, IMHO.
The Squid and the Whale--GREAT movie, much to my surprise. Laura Linney, Jeff Daniels, Jesse Eisenberg and young Owen Kline give stellar performances in a compelling family drama. (My favorite, over all-though WTL is stellar.)

As a former student of Jonathan Baumbach in Brooklyn's MFA program, I think Jeff Daniels gave an uncanny performance -- but Noah Baumbach's father is a far better writer than I imagine the character of Bernard ever was.
