You Don't Know Jack:
This movie was spectacular, as all HBO movies are. The story of Jack Kevorkian is so polarized. I couldn't take my eyes off of Al Pacino, who played this revolutionary and/or murderer with immense wisdom and humanity. As someone who knows the failures of the health care system, I vote this movie is worth a watch. It makes for some very amazing quotes.
Post Grad:
I expected a whole lot of nothing out of this movie, as it looked like something that should have been made for television. It was surprisingly a little better than I thought it would be! It reminds me very much of how I felt post-college-graduation, and I was happy to see the development of wisdom throughout the evolution of Alexis Bledel's character.
Gone Baby Gone:
This book was AWESOME. I have never before gotten so twisted up into a mystery and subsequent ending. I was blown away. If you don't read the book, at least read the movie. Dennis Lehane is slowly crawling up my list of favorite authors!
Saving Face:
This easily slides into my list of favorite romance movies. It contains unconventional love stories in the case of both mother and daughter, which truly show that love is a simple joy that one should take if it shows up in your life (despite the social opinion of the time...).
What has interested you this week?

I initially thought you'd been playing the video game 'You don't know Jack'
I'll have to try to watch that movie tho. :)
Sounds like a good media week! I added You Don't Know Jack to my list. We also really enjoyed Saving Face.
I haven't read Gone Baby Gone, but we really liked the movie. And I loved Shutter Island (both book and movie) by Dennis Lehane.
We watched a couple of movies we liked this weekend, too.
