>>>>>Having watched a great movie last night, I am going to watch another one tonight. Tonight it's "The Godfather Part II," the rare exception to the rule that the sequel is never better than the original. It's a shame that Al Pacino was in the original and Robert DeNiro was in the sequel, never together. They eventually did make it into a classic scene together in "Heat." There are at least three classic scenes in that movie, including the one in the coffee shop.

>>>>In February, the Alamo Drafthouse (www.alamodrafthouse.com) is going to be showing 'Singing in the Rain' in it's origial format. Yeah, I hate chick-flicks, but give me an old Technicolor musical and I'm SO there, especially if it has Gene Kelly. Other than that, I tend to stick to Action-Porn, Mysteries (but not Horror), and Animated (but not Anime). Love the old Spaghetti Westerns (and the Kurasawa movies they were ripped from) and will watch anything Clint directs. "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" is one of my faves, along with "Outlaw Josey Wales".

>>>Action-porn? You are a bad, bad girl.

>>>I love mysteries, especially Bogie flicks. Give me noir either on film or in books. Raymond Chandler, James M. Cain, amazing writers. Their books are a nice place to disappear on a cold winter night.

>>Action-porn: think Bruce Lee, Jason Staitham, the Die Hard set, any Iron Man/Hulk/Thor/Avengers, things like that.

>>Love Bogie, Maltese Falcon being the fave, I think. Also love Hepburn/whoever light comedies mostly for the dialogue

>2013 is the best build up to Valentine's Day ever. At least on paper. ;)

>fyi: I haven't seen the first 2 yet but I am very much looking foreward to them. A quick scan of rotten tomatoes confirms their awesomeness. Namely, the critics dislike them but the fans approve. Just like most action-porn. ;)

I must be more of a hoity toity movie fan because none of the four remotely interest me. Kurosawa is more my type, If you want to get more adventurous, try Wong Kar-Wai, especially "Chungking Express." No one with any thought of making a movie should watch it because it will make them want to chuck their camera into the nearest trash can.

You and Dorris, two warm weather residents, will be pleased to know Chicago is getting its first significant snowstorm in nearly a year. The prediction is for 4-8 inches around here. Two birds just flew past my office window, moving fast, getting the hell out of Dodge.
