The state of Missouri was part of super Tuesday and I got out in a cold rain to head to the polls and cast my vote. Back home before the sleet began, to the warm fire, a glass of wine, and watching movies. Since my last entry I have watched:
"Matchstick Men" (2003)
Nic Cage as a con man who gets conned. Worth a watch on a cold afternoon.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0325805/
"Twisted" (2004) Ashley Judd as a cop who keeps getting drunk and waking up with dead men. Not too bad, but too many foreshadowings. Samuel L. Jackson is her superior and Andy Garcia her partner.

"Now, Voyager" (1942) Bette Davis and Paul Henried smoke. He lights two cigarettes at a time and Ladies swooned. One of the all-time quoted final lines in a film: "Jerry, let's not ask for the moon; we have the stars." Pan to the stars. Fade out. *sob*

"A Stolen Life" (1946) Bette Davis plays twins. Glenn Ford is handsome and confused. Wonderful moody love story.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0038984/
"Love Letters" (1945) Jennifer Jones has lost her memory. Joseph Cotton plays a returning wounded soldier with a secret. Terrific love story and a great title theme song.

"Without Love" (1945) Tracy & Hepburn in one of their quirkiest movies. Lucille Ball and Keenyn Wynn provide the laughs.

"Crash" (2004) I didn't think I would like this and only put it in my Que because it won an Oscar as best picture. Very surprised at how much I enjoyed it. Episodic and lots of coincindences, but well done. 8/10

So heading into this weekend I still don't see anything at theaters to make me go spend money. Nothing just grabs me. I'll continue to go through my collection, weeding out some and making notes on which ones I want to replace Video tapes with DVDs.
