2005 Movie Journals!

[Joel Barish]

Well, well, well if it isn't the triumphant return of Joel Barish (aka Rick Bongorno) to the JoBlo Message Boards. And by triumphant I mean sort of pathetic in the sense that no one knew that I even left. Well during my sabbatical I got my life back in order, and now I am heading to Chi-Town to take up my dreams of directing film by enrolling in a college there, and I have made a pledge to try and take in many more films this year, and to help track that I've decided to keep a movie journal. I think it would be cool to see you other Schmoes do the same, to see what you guys have checking out in the theaters or have spinning in your DVD players and what you thought of them. I'll start with my log, so here it goes!
