A film written and directed by Sofia Coppola -- Somewhere. As I turned off the DVD player I was thinking, what a waste of time. But this is the kind of film that sticks in your head and causes you think about it later. She got her point across, which was the shallowness of fame and the basically hollow life of a pop-culture star adored by the public -- a waste of time. Unfulfilling in big capital letters. The scene where the star gets the full treatment by the special effects people was grueling.
Tonight we watched John Wayne and Robert Mitchum in "El Dorado." I don't think I had ever seen it (if I did I was a child). Great movie!
I thought I had posted our other movies lately, but I guess I hadn't (we have been in and out so much).
Two of the movies we watched recently weren't even worth recording here. We trashed the DVD (double feature) when we were done. The other was a good one, "The Alamo," with John Wayne.
James has been on a John Wayne buying spree lately. LOL We will soon be watching "The Cowboys" and "Hatari," both of which arrived today.
I love John Wayne movies. He has played such a wide range of characters.
