Just watched two movies, Broken Flowers and Primer.

Broken Flowers stars Bill Murray in his predictable "lets sit and look slightly dazed and sarcastic" pose, although in this movie he does a lot of "lets wear sunglasses a la Jack Nicholson (sp?)" too. It's a really ambiguous arty film that moves much too slowly with too many shots of a journey and not of a plot-point or critical moment. I guess if you enjoy watching scenes of random road movements and irrelevent shots of Bill Murray, this is your movie. It was still alright, nothing really gets resolved though. I say... B-.

Primer was better for me though it was horribly confusing at the start and the end. Plausible sounding, the start was really bad because it was just four people talking non-stop for ten minutes. Peaked in the middle when it clicks what's happening and how it's "working", and then at the end it kinda explodes and you stop understanding it. I did enjoy it, but not greatly. B+
