It's surprising to me that I've never written about Nicolas Roeg's Don't Look Now before now. I first saw it nearly 20 years ago and have seen it two or three times since, including while I was actively writing about movies so I've had several opportunities to write about it without pulling the trigger.
Here goes.
(Look, it's another outline!)
I really enjoyed Niels Arden Oplev's adaptation of Stieg Larsson's The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. It's a streamlined, focused film that captures the essence of the page-turner novel while avoiding a slavish adherence to the source material.

I've seen more westerns in the past year or so than I'd seen in my entire life up until this point. There are a few on the AFI 100 Years, 100 Movies list, which I'm trying to (slowly) see everything on, so I've had them on my queue for a while. Interestingly, most of the films I hadn't seen were westerns. Of those, High Noon was one of the best. I'm not a huge fan of the genre, so it takes a really special movie to get me even halfway interested, so the fact that High Noon didn't feel like a chore is testament to the quality of the film.
Plus… Grace Kelly
There are still more to come, but I've added a ton of art to the permanent galleries of the site. Some of these have never been posted here, others have been. Hopefully you'll enjoy things either way.
