On Walter's recommendation I'll go see it. We have, it seems, very
similar tastes in movies.
One of things that attracts me to this movie is that it's a period piece
on LA. As a city, I've never liked LA. Perhaps it was a combination of
New Yorker prejudice that many NYers harbor about LA or it was lack of
seriously good pizza. I certainly didn't like it when I lived there. I'm
not sure. But LA has such a fascinating history that almost all the
movies I've seen that are done seriously that involve historical events
or periods have been excellent. The two movies I'm thinking of were
Chinatown and LA Confidential.
Also, the fact that Clint Eastwood directs it makes this movie even more
attractive.
