---Oh my! This week I watched:
Body Heat (1981) Kathleen Turner, William Hurt, Richard Crenna, Ted Danson. Great atmoshere, score, cast. Almost perfect noirish drama. Rewatch often. 9/10

Ash Wednesday (2002) Ed Burns, Elijah Wood. Irish mob hit man and his brother, who is supposed to be dead, try to get out of danger. Very unlikeable characters and awful location scenes. Depressing. Burns wrote, directed and starred. He needs to pick one and concentrate his energy. Elijah is way too young and short to be his brother. Bad casting. If you like seeing the dregs, this should suffice. 5/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0280438/
Find Me Guilty (2006) Vin Diesel as Jackie DiNorscio in trial of mobsters. Vin is funny and touching as one of the defendents in a trial under the RICO Act, the longest Mafia trial in history. Keeps your interest throughout. Uses actual trial transcripts for parts of the dialog, which is even more interesting. Great stage character actors in secondary roles. 7.5/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0419749/#comment
Enchanted (2007) Amy Adams, Patrick Dempsey, James Marsden. Retelling of the Cinderella story, going from cartoon to real people in NYC. Music numbers here and there. I'm unenchanted with Dempsey and his sqeakey voice. I don't get the attraction. Marsden is a cutey. For kids it's a winner. Everyone else - see it on TV if you must. For costumes, locations and cinematography - 7/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0461770/
No Country For Old Men (2007) Tommy Lee Jones, Javier Bardem, and Texas dust. Rewatched. 9/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0477348/
