Miscellaneous Movie Musings

This weekend

The Laughing Policeman - Perhaps most misleading title ever. Gritty 1973 police drama starring a thoroughly dour Walter Matthau. Lots of nice street scenery of the San Francisco location but otherwise not a very interesting movie.

A Night at the Museum - Surprisingly not horrible. I don't ever need to see it again but it is harmless enough. Mizuo Peck, who played Sacajawea, is the hotness.

Double Indemnity - Brilliant as always.

The Bank Job - Wouldn't mind knowing more about which parts are true and which parts are poetic license. It's not going to set the world on fire and will be forgotten in a couple years but I enjoyed most of it.

I can't tell you how giddy this makes me. It is about 15 years too late but I saw the trailer before The Bank Job tonight and I went to martial art movie heaven for the brief seconds seen of Chan and Li fighting each other.

How was The Bank Job? It looks like it might be good. I do love me a good heist movie.
