A Milestone
500 Followers! Yipeeee!
My apologies for the self-referential post, which I generally try to confine to my "other" blog, but I just couldn't resist noting the milestone. Thanks to all my faithful followers. What the hell, thanks to all you adulterous followers as well. :)

Light and Shadow: Louise Brooks
Pandora's Box (1929)
Look for German director G.W. Pabst's dark envisioning of the Jack the Ripper legend on TCM, during the late night hours of January 29-30, depending on your time zone. It's well worth your time.

Kate Winslet & David Kross in The Reader (2008)
I saw this film the other night on Showtime and was blown away. I'm not going to do a full review, but this is one of those films that, after it's over, you need to just sit and think about it awhile before you feel like you can go on to something else. Catch it if you can, it's well worth watching.
