Movies this weekend

Page One and The Tree of Life.

Page One is a decent documentary about the NY Times - mainly a portrait of a few of the reporters.

The Tree of Life is baffling. I can't say that I didn't enjoy it - I guess I'm still processing. It has narrative but no plot - maybe one way to put it. It is experimental in a conservative, inward looking way. There is nothing in it flashy or sensational. It's quite poetic at moments and visually stunning. If you wove together 2001, a Space Odyssey and The Sound & the Fury you might end of with something like it. I'm certain it would not be everyone's cup of tea.

Oh I forgot. There is scene in T. of L. shot at Barton Springs - just maybe my favorite place in Texas.
