Last night we watched the Ridley Scott, "Robin Hood", with Russel Crowe.  I was pleasantly surprised!!  It was like the pre-story to the story we all know.  Very action-packed, some really good characters, very good story!  I think, worth renting :-)

A relatively new one last night.  Leo DiCaprio in Inception.  In a word...huh????  Jack said - in the very beginning, in response to my "This is going to be one of THOSE movies, isn't it?" - "One we're too stupid to watch??"

i never saw "an education"....i'm going to make it a point if you liked it that much, mariah. who is in it?

yes! jack lemmon. directed by billy wilder and nominated for a gazillion academy awards. i think it's the kind of thing that i would really like...great actors, great director. great writing. alot of older films were written like plays, and they work so much better watching them all in one sitting than current films that depend on visuals where you can watch "parts" of the titanic and enjoy the parts. i like the dialogue in stuff like "the apartment"...have you seen it? i have a feeling you'd like it too.

yes, shirley maclaine is a cast member. her freestyle of performing works well in the film.

'the apartment'. jack lemmon?

i will do that, thanks....something tells me shirley maclaine might be in it. i heard her talking recently and think she mentioned it. i love her...i think she is one of the best actresses. speaking of, if i ever get some other work done around here, i'm ready to see "the apartment" .  i want to sit and see it all the way through. it's one of those i have seen bits and pieces of...

it's entirely possible that you have not seen it, or even heard of it. made in the seventies, which i will pen right now as "the great impression" , being there was sellers last film. his character's name is chance. he is thrust into the world, and the world stsarts to look a bit different.

now, i will tell you that some find the film slow moving, and in a planned way, it is, especially when set next to movies now. i did not think that. check it out, if you can find it.

you know, matthew, i think i have never seen "being there". how is that possible? what's it about?
