Baby The Rain Must Fall and Cincinnati Kid
We saw No Country for Old Men last night. I hadn't read the book yet, and I'm glad I didn't -- it was more intense, not knowing what was coming. I'd heard some people hated the ending, but I liked not having everything tied up in a bow.

I'm going crazy. I'm standing here solidly on my own two hands and going crazy.

If it's December 1941 in Casablanca, what time is it in New York?
Three Colours: White
By the genius that is Krzysztof Kieslowski. Its the second in a trilogy of interconnected but not sequential films, that explore the themes of Blue, white, and red as the colours of the French flag in left-to-right order, and the story of each film is loosely based on one of the three political ideals in the motto of the French Republic: liberty, equality, fraternity.

Sheer genius.
Now I cant wait til I can see the decalogue...which is his series of episodes, each about one of the 10 commandments.
They say ignorance is bliss, but it really just means you failed to learn.
"Control" ~ music Biopic of Ian Curtis of Joy Division. Brilliant film.
"Bladerunner (The Final Cut"). Wow.
"Sweet & Hot" ~ Jazz, Swing, and Rhythm & Blues - CiTR 101.9 FM podcast!
I just watched the green mile with tom hanks.
It's a real tear jerker, I feel so sorry for john coffee (but then spelled differently)
We saw "No Country For Old Men" this weekend and we both liked it very much.

I watched Reunion in France with John Wayne and Joan Crawford. Very pleasantly surprised. A well done WW2 film.
The Polar Express!
What a feel good movie this is. One of the top 3 movies I make sure I watch during the Christmas season, together with A Nightmare Before Christmas & A Christmas Story.

Heartbreak Ridge...hilarious one liners...

I just finished watching "Night and the City".
It's a 1950 movie directed by Jules Dassin and starring Richard Widmark.
It's about a club tout in London trying to raise himself up in the world with one more big scheme, in a long line of failed "big schemes"...
I've seen about 5 Richard Widmark movies, and out of all of those ("The Frogmen", "Pickup on South Street", "Hell and High Water", "The Final Option" (cameo in that one...doesn't really count) and "The Bedford Incident") his acting in this one is the best.
Widmark creates a very rich characterization of a bad-luck-magnet -weaselly-con-man. It seems like he was just more natural playing this character, than a "good guy". I don't think you could really even classify him as an "anti-hero" in this one.
Anyways. 4 out of 5 stars from Corto. Great pulp movie.
