What I'm Watching #206

Yeah, I'm in a manic movie mood these days! And a psychological pathology actually enhances one's experience when it come to the film "Running with Scissors!"

I can't remember a more fascinating movie. This film is a tour de force of story-telling. It's so many talented people playing so many kinds of crazy....it's hypnotic. I loved the performances of Annette Bening, Joseph Cross, Jill Clayburgh, Brian Cox, Joseph Fiennes, Evan Rachel Wood, Alex Baldwin and Gwyneth Paltrow -- in that order. They're ALL amazing. And when the short of end of the stick holds Gwyneth Paltrow and Alex Baldwin, you've got a damn good time in your DVD player!

Put the scissors down, and then run -- don't walk -- to get this film. two thumbs way up!
