[AGL] y'all seen any good movies lately?

[Connie Clark]

Only 'The Hurt Locker' (brand new in theaters).  We don't go to the movies much, and haven't rented videos either.  But this Hurt Locker was really good Iraq war movie in the style of the old 50s WWII action/dramas aka Battle Cry with Aldo Ray.  It was surprising to see a woman director for this gritty and well-done movie.  The 59-year-old has a number of movies out, and I had never really heard of Kathryn Bigelow. She did Weight of Water and Strange Days, both of which I may be interested in checking out.

Subject: [AGL] y'all seen any good movies lately?

last night we watched and enjoyed Art Carney and Lily Tomlin in The Late Show.

i have proposed that we watch Le quai des
Orfevres a second time before it goes back
to the library. black & white thriller by Clouzot - you may have seen his Les diaboloques
with the corpse coming up out of the bathtub.

good movies both which makes me think
of an even better flic, Angels in America,
actually originally a 4 part made for TV pic,
directed by Mike Nichols. recommended if you have been missing the total engagement of being drawn into a great movie.

Meryl Streep plays the mother of young
Mormon Wall Street lawyer who has been having sex with Al Pacino as Roy Cohen.

but better Ms Streep also plays the ghost of Ethyl Rosenberg at the deathbed of Roy
Cohen, Cohen having helped to send
the Rosenbergs to the electric chair. 
i have seen Ms Streep the ultimate chameleon
in many movies, but the Ethyl Rosenberg
cameo . . .  wow, zowie!
