I achieved my goal of the weekend, which was to go see The Manchurian Candidate in the theaters. I thought it was a quite powerful movie, one that's not just entertaining but that makes you think about it long after it's over. It's a very different movie from the 1962 movie (which was one of my favorites of all-time), and I think, while you can draw comparisons, in the end you're evaluating the movie on its own terms as if it's an entirely different movie and not just a remake. I'm still thinking about the movie, so I don't have a well-formulated review in my head and won't be writing one now, but I would definitely be interested in hearing what others have to say about the movie.
