I've been told it's a struggle of good against evil. But, isn't everything?

I'll get around to it sooner or later, after the lines get a lot shorter. And, after I rent the first one to watch at home.

I've heard mixed comments regarding whether I should read the books before I see the movies. Apparently the movies are fairly true to the books. But, some purists are upset.

Typically, I go to a movie to be mindlessly entertained, not to have deep philosophical issues plumped in front of me that cause me to actually think.

I haven't watch Harry Potter, either.

a peaceful new year to all,

rented "the talented mr. ripley" (1999) very dark, i bought into matt damons' character 15 minutes into this flick.

originally saw him in "good will hunting" (1997)
phenomenal actor, saw sidney pollacks' name @ beginning credits and figured it would be quality cinema. it was.
