Movie Mania

Well I've watched, "Just Friends", "Walk the Line", "Domino" and "A History of Violence" recently.

Domino is one of those flicks where you feel better about the movie after you watch the "making of" featurette. I would almost recommend watching it first. You get to see the real Domino Harvey, who was the daughter of actor Laurence Harvey (The Manchurian Candidate). And you realize that Jacqueline Bissett as her mother in the flick was PERFECT casting. I was glad to see Dabney Coleman in a big movie for the first time in forever. He was doing so well in the early 80's (9 to 5, WarGames, Tootsie, On Golden Pond, Cloak and Dagger, etc) and then dropped off the planet.

A History of Violence was excellent. I hope David Cronenberg does more work like this, a little more mainstream and not so weird. I also hope William Hurt finds more work like his role in this film. Not the normal kind of thing he does either.
