Casey is in a new film called Gone Baby Gone that

looks pretty darn sweet.

Not seen The Assasination... but heard good things. I did, however, watch Memento for the first time (how??) the other day: tremendous stuff!


There is a thing on the DVD version that allows you to watch it in

Chronological order which is pretty amazing.


You should watch it. It ia alightly more confusing than you might think.

Seriously. Also, it shows how masterful the work actually was as not only does it work going forwards but also works going backwards. How many films are a magnificent as that?


Ahhh, the camera work in that film

is beeeeyutifull. Roger Deakins made his own lenses for some of the shots. Crazy bastard. The score is immense also.


i listen to the soundtrack

once a week at least. it is incredible. that scene where they rob the train = top three movie moment ever.


I'd

had quite a few drinks when I saw it and to me it seemed like a collection of stories.

I need to see it again properly (and sober!)


It was pretty good, i guess.

No Young Guns II though.


Agreed

I would much rather watch Young Guns one or two again than this particularly mediocre Terrance Mallick wannabe effort again. God I love Young Guns


its no...

Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, but Affleck and Deakins put in some great work...
