Last night I finally got around to seeing Tony Gilroy’s (writer of the Bourne movies) directorial debut; Michael Clayton, and man it was a good film.  If you’re up on the movies you know that Michael Clayton has been out since October, and is coming to DVD, Blu-Ray and HDDVD (But who uses HDDVD?) in about 15 days.  Since it’s been out for a while I will not be doing a formal review but I will say that it is strongly constructed thriller from first time Director Tony Gilroy.  It seems a lot of people passed this film over in it’s first run so Warner Bros. rereleased it just recently after it received 7 Oscar nominations.   If you have not yet seen it I recommend it, but you may want to leave the kids at home it’s got some strong language. 

I was pleasantly suppressed to see that it was playing in my local theater, we don’t get a lot of films like this around here (one of the advantages of moving to Toronto, (see post below)). Kudos to my local theater for also finally deciding to play No Country For Old Men.
