recent watches:
i heart huckabees - a bit difficult because of the whiny mr. schwartzman (i almost retched during the doggie-style with huppert scene), but natural-born comedians tomlin, hoffman, and wahlberg make the film bearable.
heaven - ribisi and blanchett in a so-so love/action film. but they are both such great chameleons - you never know who they're going to be onscreen (and in ribisi's case, sometimes, you can't even tell it's him!). plus they both speak italian. hot!
bubble - soderbergh as solonz as soderbergh. brevity is beautiful.
the man with the golden arm - kim novak, what a beaut with a penchant for helping addicts. watch as sinatra suffers the shortest heroin withdrawal known to man! if you rent the dvd version, be certain to watch the trailers - hilarious!
good night and good luck - beautifully shot and recorded. gosh, those voices were so silky!! editing, so-so. story, interesting. flow, not so good. but superb acting, to be sure.
a history of violence - william hurt as a gangster. who doesn't want that? hot sex scenes with viggo and maria bello (should be, "bella!"). the title of the film is key to the understanding of the film.
in cold blood - too long. but quite a chilling tale (for the time) based on the capote novel. robert blake stars as an investigator. best prophetic line from one of the villains mentions something about millionaires never having to hang for their crimes.
glengarry glen ross - what do i need to say? poor shelly.
