I did some soul searching on subject of Meryl and I agree with Mart more and more. She certanly looks and acts intelligently (and I am a big sucker for anything intelligent), but I went through all her filmography and it is true, I didn't find one movies that I would like to keep in my collection. All those "French..." and "Bridges..." are nothing but waste of everyone's time.

***The actor that annoys me a lot is Kevin Costner, whose "star quality" outshines his acting ability in nearly all of his films.

Boy, that is so true. He is very high on my list of non-entities. Right next to Harrison Ford.

***Charlie Sheen has even less acting ability

Oh yeah? And how about Richard Gere then? Can you down THIS choice?

This weekend was a disaster. My wife managed to score four lousy ones out of six. I will give her another chance, but she surely gest a warning. The best old one probably was "How Green Was my Valley" - but maybe I am still way too young for that. There was the Hoop Dreams, of which I saw some glimps and I don't generally like forcing myself - I am not big fan of any illiterate sports figures. The brightest spot was probably the Howard's End once again. This is pathetic because usually I choke on those actors and associated ambiance.

Speaking of ambiance, contrasting with the stifling "End" are such things as Dangerous Liaisons (by the way, a pretty good job by Glenn there). Full of light and airy interiors of my favorite period.

Steve, did you see Charles Bronson in the Honor Among Thieves (don't recall its French title now)? They say it was not his usual and rather good. Can't find it anywhere to rent, may have to just buy it. Amazon has the DVD for $9.
