at the movies
One thing I have been enjoying lately is catching up on movies! Here are a few I've really enjoyed and would totally recommend:
Lucky Number Slevin - I couldn't decide what I liked more: the visuals (check out all the crazy wallpaper!), the editing (superb job!), the acting (the cast says it all), or the writing and actual storyline. Wow. Despite the fact that it was a bit more violently graphic in some scenes than I'd like, I REALLY liked this film. Totally loved the twists and turns. I might have to own it someday.
Inside Man - Denzel. That's all I have to say. No, but this also had some great plot twists that really kept you guessing. Good suspense and action.
Shakespeare In Love - Watched it on DVD and was reminded how much I LOVE not only Shakespeare but poetry and passion. Nice...
CSA - You gotta love Spike Lee and anything he touches. It was hard to watch in some respects, but this was a great independent film for starting up conversation about racism. Go see it now!
The Nashville Film Festival is about to start in a couple of weeks. I'm salivating already.
