I was invited by a friend to a preview of a movie, "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada", that overlapped with the airing of CSI. So I recorded it and watched after midnight.
The story I think was good in the classical James M. Cain mystery genre. A killer that is able to get away with his crimes, but gets undone by his conscious. There was sufficient dialog and situations for the actors to give dimension and interest to their characters. But probably because of the constraints of time in TV and focus of the direction (which emphasizes the shooting style, look, color schemes and sets), it was somewhat flat and superficial. -- Enric -======- http://www.cirne.com --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Stephanie Bryant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On 2/2/06, Kunga <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Are you all going > > to say you didn't watch it with advance warning we got yesterday? > > I did not watch it. > > In the grand scheme of things in my life, videoblogging ranks well > below my husband's birthday, which was also yesterday.
