Blue Jasmine - If I had a critique, it would be that it ended too soon. Cate Blanchett does an amazing job of portraying a hapless victim and judgmental harpie simultaneously. Her hair should get a supporting actress nomination, as it served as barometer for her state of mind. The more composed it was, the more composed she was. And at times it was transcendent. When she was unravelling, her hair similarly unraveled to the point that at times I thought I was looking at Helen Thomas [Reply]
As a tribute to PSH, I watched The Talented Mr. Ripley for the first time in almost a decade last week. I forgot how much I loved Damon in that flick. He was fantastic. [Reply]

Watching a pretty cool old western from 1971 called The Hunting Party with Gene Hackman, Oliver Reed, Candice Bergen, LQ Jones and several other familiar faces.
Its about a cattle barons wife who's kidnapped by bandits and he goes on the hunt for her... but wow, movies were just different back then... the guy responsible for her kidnapping smacks her around real good and rapes her a few times, but soon after she then begins to fall in love with him after the simple act of him giving her some peaches.
I mean, its kinda crazy considering the uproar something like this would probably cause these days... these old macho movies are pretty hilarious... all ya gotta do to tame a woman and make her fall in love is smack her around and give her a good poke, that'll set her straight! [Reply]
