Just re-watched A League of Their Own and I a never cease to be amazed by just how incredible the movie is. Probably my fave sports movie ever. One particular brilliant touch: the casting of the older women when they come back for the opening of the HoF exhibit. Spot on. I know what Geena Davis and Madonna will look like in another 20 years. And so, so many great lines.

I love that movie. I always thought Kit (Lori Petty) was a cute.

If you've seen BB and TDK, you've already seen TDKR.

Bourne Legacy

Got roped into seeing it. Not worth seeing, even on DVD. Highly derivative of the original Bourne movie (which I didn't like, so you know I was going to dislike this one): secret agent is being chased by "them" who don't want any evidence of their experimentations. Along the way he picks up a babe to accompany him, they have a chase scene on and off crowded roads, and the bad guy assassin bites it almost anticlimatically.

A waste of popcorn...

Should have gotten Jr. Mints.

The Bourne books by Robert Ludlum is one of my favorite literary series. None of the movies have ever done them justice.

I think Bourne Identity, the first one, is the best spy/thriller ever. And I've read a lot.

No one here needs to read my tired old rant on the comparison between good/great books and the movies that butcher them.

I won free passes to see a film at the Cleveland Cinematheque. It's located inside the Cleveland Institute of Art. They screen foreign and low budget films, documentaries.

I had four filmes to chose from. I selected "Elles," a 2011 French film, directed and co-written by Polish director Małgorzata Szumowska. It's about a journalist from Partis
who researches and writes an article about female student prostitution.

She interviews two women. At first she looks down on them but eventually she begins to admire them. This is reeeeally a good movie (and there's tons of nudity. >__<)

I've seen a lot of bad movies on IMAX screens over the years (our best friends have, shall we say, questionable taste in movies), but this was a treat. Great movie to see on IMAX, it really takes full advantage of every inch of the screen.
