| Betsy's very visible spoiler won't ruin the movie, but it will diminish a key plot turn. |

| If it ever gets here, I'll see it but it might not be for a few months. The new movies that come here are the ones you'd expect. Ice Age, The Transformers, Harry Potter etc. I hope Funny People gets here. I have my doubts. |

Well, for one thing, the word "white" should be in lower case.
Also, you've got one color code partially embedded in another. Type "edit" and you'll see the offending code. |

| I love The Bank Dick. I was riffing on the idea of posting an older film in Current. |

The Bank Job is impressive. The Bank Dick is immortal.

Re: the critical bipolarity towards Julie & Julia -- both Uncle Kenneth and Cousin Betsy of inla's beleaguered employer loved the whole thing, and Red Reex gushed to the point of my needing to wipe my hands after reading his rave.
Am seeing it with the Documentary Filmmaker and the Singing Dancing Shrink tomorrow. Meant to see it yesterday, but the only screening that fit into my limited time was sold out, and (500) Days of Summer was playing against my schedule... so went to Hurt Locker again. Apart from being no less blown away even while knowing what was coming, and again finding myself choked up by Mackie's climactic conversation with Renner, Have figured out why Evangeline Lilly struck me so in her brief scene and a shot -- she looks like a recognizable human being, whereas, on Lost, even at the character's most disheveled and mud-spattered, she looks like a Revlon model.
Speaking of Uncle Kenneth and Cousin Betsy, he adored Ponyo

She was very taken with District 9

But she didn't like The Time Traveler's Wife, at all.

Todd Haynes slated to direct a TV movie remake of Mildred Pierce, with Kate Winslet in line for the title role.

If the script returns to James Cain's considerably different (and rather superior) novel, it could be something remarkable. |

Tetro is a stunning film about family, from the man who made the best family film of all time, Francis Ford Coppola. Filmed almost entirely in creamy black-and-white, Coppola zooms in on two brothers' reunion in Buenos Aires. Vincent Gallo plays Tetro, the older brother, who's escaped from everything he was and everyone he knew. Alden Ehrenreich is Benny, the younger brother who shows up one night at Tetro's flat, hoping to find his lost big brother, reclaim a relationship and learn the unspoken family secrets about their parents.
Tetro is too personal a story to be as epic as Coppola's big films, but it's too good a story, too well-acted and too beautifully filmed to be missed. |
