State and Main

Ziti with meatballs. Brownie and coffee during intermission. State and Main, 2000, written and directed by David Mamet, starring William H. Macy, Sarah Jessica Parker, Alec 'DeadEye' Baldwin, Julia Stiles, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Rebecca Pidgeon, David Paymer, Patti LuPone, Clark Gregg, and Charles Durning. I went on a David Mamet binge this weekend; Homicide, American Buffalo, State and Main.

The Maltese Falcon

The part of the lasagna I didn't eat last Sunday. The Maltese Falcon, 1941, directed by John Huston, who also wrote the screenplay, based on the 1930 novel by Dashiell Hammett. Starring Humphrey Bogart, Mary Astor, Peter Lorre and Sydney Greenstreet. Also starring Elisha Cook Jr. as one of the most inept gunmen ever. I've lost count on how many times I've seen this movie . I just watched it with Kate last year. But I'm going to discuss it with a film group tomorrow, so I wanted to be sharp. The film group invited a film historian to the discussion, which should be a lot of fun. This movie never fails to entertain me. Great story, cast and crew.  

Sergeant York

Lasagna. Cherry pie and coffee during intermission. Remember, Pi Day is on 3.14. Sergeant York, 1941, directed by Howard Hawks, starring Gary Cooper.

In Bruges

Pasta with basil pesto, sourdough baguette. Carrot cake and coffee during intermission. In Bruges, 2008, written and directed by Martin McDonagh, starring Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson.
