Movie night

Tonight Larry and I watched Rendition on video (Matt went to bed). It was better than I expected (the reviews were lukewarm and clearly no one went to see it). It's very much worth seeing. It's much more understated than I thought it would be, with good performances from a terrific cast. Jake Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard were fine as always, and Meryl Streep was especially excellent, though she's only in a few scenes. My only complaint is that Reese Witherspoon, though good, is rather wasted in a small role.
