New movies

Hi Laurie,
I've been thinking about you lately and wondering what you think of the new movies that are coming out about the old Hollywood.
One opened on Sept. 9, "Hollywoodland" which features the mysterious death of George Reeves. It's gotten good reviews, especially Diane Lane and Ben Affleck's performances.
The other is coming out later in Sept., "Black Dahlia" telling the story of the murder of Elizabeth Short.
You discussed both in class and am curious if you've seen these movies and if so, I'd be interested in your take on them.

Alice

Re: New movies by Laurie

Hi Alice!

Thanks for writing. Always good to hear from you. I saw HOLLYWOODLAND...it's a really good movie and some good acting (though Ben Affleck is not on that list, in my opinion). I am delighted to see old Hollywood get some attention...tho they well represented the 3 main theories re: his death, I didn't think poor George was well represented...he was not a boozing, depressed, self-absorbed guy. He was charasmatic and charming and really popular with both men and women...it wasn't in the script and Affleck didn't have George's glow (this opinion is shared by Noel Neill, who played Lois Lane). Anyway, if you love noir...it's a good movie...love Adrien Brody.

Waiting for The Dahlia to come out...I love these period films...I'm sure I'll disagree with it all over the place, but I'm anxious to see it.
Think you'll go?
Laurie

Re: New movies by Laurie

I ran right out and saw the Black Dahlia Friday...it's too complicated...but I gotta say, I love noir so much that it was wonderful just to immerse myself in it for awhile. Cinematography, music, sets -- all wonderful. Hilary Swank and her family are FABULOUS...we were entertained (my husband only in parts). He said he wouldn't recommend it to anyone...me? I'd go again. As far as their explanation who did it, pure fiction, of course. But one thing I found interesting. James Ellroy wrote the book and the screenplay. He called my friend Jan crazy when she told him she believed her father killed both Betty Short and Ellroy's mother. But guess what the killer's name is: Jan's father's (don't want to spoil it if you go see it.)
