Watched the following movies recently:
The Greatest Show On Earth: Story about Ringly Brothers circus...directed by Cecil B Demile (Ten Commandments). This movie stars Charelton Heston as the ring leader of the circus and Jimmy Stewart as a clown in the circus. Ok movie that gives you a pretty good insight on the lives of carnies. Heston is always hit or miss with me...and most of his movies are a bit dated...but overall a good movie.
One False Move: Ok movie that an early billy bob thorton wrote and stared in. Also has john paxton. Basic premise is Thorton kills a drug dealer for his stash of drugs and money and then is on the run and he ends up in a small town where paxton is a white trash sheriff.
Devil In the Blue Dress:Pretty good movie with denzel washington, don cheadle and tom sizemore. Basic premise is blackmail because a politician is dating a women (jennifer beals) who he is telling is a white woman but is actually black...secret gets out and people are trying to kill beals and anyone else who knows. Washington plays a stooge who is hired to find beals without knowing the full details. Cheadle plays his crazy friend and he basically steals the movie. There are some laugh out loud funny moments ala pulp fiction. Some good quotes. Cheadle is Mouse.
Easy Rawlins: A man once told me that you step out of your door in the morning, and you are already in trouble. The only question is are you on top of that trouble or not?
Mouse: You said don't shoot him, right? Well I didn't; I choked the brother... If you didn't want me to kill him, why did you leave me alone with him?
Meet John Doe:A Frank Capra movie. Not as good as Mr Deeds goes to Washington or It's a Wonderful Life but still pretty good. This one has Gary Cooper in it. Capra's movies...for their time in the 30's and 40's are pretty great...they talk about morality and politics and have very very good dialogue for that time frame. This is another good example...not the best but good.
Side note:
I still can't believe they are considering making a Spiderman movie without Maguire and Raimi....IDIOTS. Also is it me or has Lost gotten...well Lost.
