Watched the last two movies from the Millenium Trilogy.

#2 was OK, but #3 was great. Some scary characters and well done... I normally don't like sub-titled movies, but...

Cheers,

I positively hated "The Man Who Would Be King"! It completely subverted the whole point of the Kipling story. However, that it would do so is unsurprising.

On another note, I saw "Mud" last night. Excellent movie, if a little on the long side.

Caught the newly restored Safety Last at the Film Forum. This is a great print with the extra footage that cleans up the edit and makes it more watchable for a modern audience. One of the best physical comedies ever made and worth seeing on the big screen.

April 26th through 30th - The Film Forum in NYC (http://www.filmforum.org/)
May 11th & 12th - Coral Gables Art Cinema in Miami, FL (http://www.gablescinema.com/filmsandprograms.php)
May 18th - Seattle International Film Festival (http://www.siff.net/festival-2013)
