I really didn't like Hereafter, and had some questions about Jersey Boys. But Million Dollar Baby packed a wallop, and I have a sneaking fondness for Play Misty for Me.

I would also have to include The Lady in Red in there. I love that Clint Eastwood has had such a terrific third act to his career as a successful filmmaker - but I do find some of his movies a little dull. I sometimes chase on with a little Dirty Harry or Every/Any Loose movie for contrast.Craig Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06037542638067599437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070623657970000135.post-83987113589220521782012-05-20T22:52:15.930-07:002012-05-20T22:52:15.930-07:00Thanks, Brian.

I am partial to Milius' DILLINGER, though. Wonderfully gritty movie, that one.venoms5https://www.blogger.com/profile/13655919099947763891noreply@blogger.com
