Quote of the Week- David Mamet

Today's Quote of the Week is from 'is he actually now a Republican' playwright David Mamet whose most famous play "Glengarry Glen Ross" is now being staged at The Gamm Theatre in Pawtucket, RI, until Oct. 3.

Mamet is also a screenwriter, film director and novelist. His latest film (we believe) "Redbelt" is available through Netflix.

"I always thought the real violence in Hollywood isn't what's on the screen. It's what you have to do to raise the money."

Top 10 List- the next 10 films I want to see

In no particular order, they are:

"Synedoche, New York"

"Milk"

"Frost/Nixon"

"Doubt"

"The Three Monkeys" (a Turkish film)

"Slumdog Millionaire"

"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"

"Let the Right One In" (a Swedish horror film)

"Wendy and Lucy"

"Beverly Hills Chihuahua"*


Alas, "The Wrestler" and "Revolutionary Road" just missed making the list!

For those who have the chance, be sure to catch a podcast of my friend Joe Scott's "Movie Show" tonight.

"Milk" is now showing at the Grandin Theatre in Roanoke, Va.

*- I say this in jest though I was disappointed to miss the 7:00 p.m. screening of the film at the Graham Cinema in Graham, NC, as I was passing through town!
