Friday night at the movies

Two movies that I really want to see that probably couldn't be any more different.

The first, and most obvious, is 300.



The other, perhaps not as well know, is Into Great Silence.



One is ephemeral eye candy, the other is a glimpse into the eternal; my dualistic tendencies persist.

Into Great Silence has a very limited release schedule. It's been screening in New York for a couple weeks now, but it's not coming to the Angelika in Houston until May. Austin and Dallas will have screenings, as well. (See here.) It looks like it would be worthwhile to see on the big screen.

Read more on the film and the Carthusian Order in the "About the film" section of the official site.

Next week my is going to be nice and slow at work, so I'll try to come up with something worth your while in between movie time.
