I love Office Space... the characters, the script... and I think that everyone who ever worked in an office and completely hated it can relate to this movie.

Last week after a meeting, all of us started talking about Office Space. We thought we should have people watch that in place of a company picnic.

I knew I forgot another one; probably one of my newer favorites:

The World's Fastest Indian with Anthony Hopkins

It came out in 2005 but I didnt see it until late 2007; apparently the movie wasn't reviewed by many critics and was very overlooked. Its a true story about a New Zealand man (Hopkins) going to the Bonneville salt flats with his modified Indian motorcycle to race with the pros.

And the light, will come shining through.

Speaking of movies, how cool is it that Adventureland opens with the 'mats singing Bastards of Young, and later includes Unsatisfied as well. Actually, the music used in the movie all around was really cool, with mentions of Big Star and Husker Du amongst others.

I just saw this movie over the weekend, and I'd rank it as good just because of the music. Overall, I would consider the movie decently good (definitely not at the top of my lists), the plot could have been thickened up some, but the music in it was really awesome, and it did express the feel for the times, and a feel for them from an alternative perspective than the mainstream, which was cool.
