Russian actor/director Nikita Mikhalkov's 12 is a reworking of Sidney Lumet's classic courtroom pot boiler 12 Angry Men, set in post-communist Moscow, where the jury deliberates over the fate of a Chechen youth accused of murdering his adoptive father, a Russian officer. The Village Voice's Michelle Orange calls it "masterful, engrossing... Miklahkov keeps 12 tops spinning at all times in the school gymnasium that serves as their deliberation room, and though the speech/conversion pattern grows a little pat, the movement toward consensus raises the further, richly complicated question of how to decide not only what is right, but what is best."

Go see Leave Her to Heaven—it's a restored print and Gene Tierney is amazing in it.
I'm seeing two Rendez-Vous films this weekend: Girl from Monaco and The Joy of Singing.
Watchmen will be a huge let down if you've read the graphic novel.
what? the movie was exactly like the comic.
Whoa, Jackie Earle Haley is in Watchmen? I may just go, then. He was great in Breaking Away, but then that whole movie was great. Sort of makes sense, I guess. Rorschach is supposed to go nuts after being taunted about his size, just like Moocher did in the earlier movie. "Don't forget to punch the clock, shorty." Crash.
