Dazed and Confused
I watched Dazed and Confused tonight. It turned out to be a much better movie than I expected. I had visions of some lame movie about getting trashed during high school, but it turned out to be a decent illustration of the social dynamic. I was a little annoyed with the "nerd" crowd, in that their conversation seemed overly contrived.

Movie Soundtracks
I saw Daredevil last night, but this isn't about the movie so much as the soundtrack. In Daredevil, there is a song played throughout that sounds as though it's from the American Beauty soundtrack. Since the Kingpin likes roses, it's an interesting link between the two movies.
Recently, it seems that movie studios are using music from other films instead of coming up with a new score. Even the movie trailers are using music from other films, such as the Two Towers trailer that used music from Requiem for a Dream by Clint Mansell and the latest Hulk trailer that used music from Run Lola Run.
