I'm slowly but surely catching up - saw Diving Bell and Into the Wild a couple days ago and loved both. I still say, with all the unwatchable garbage in theaters this summer, that Die Hard was one of the summer's better movies. Whoch is damning it with faint praise, but still. Good dumb mindless action, I wasn't bored for a second. Much better than stuff like the Simpsons or Stardust or Spidey or even - sorry - Transformers.
So you loved Diving Bell...great to hear. I also loved Into the Wild, beautiful movie to look at
