2300 or so, Lone Star.

Anyone who hasn't seen the film yet is in for a treat. It is Sayles best. It also has Elizabeth Pena in it. A little older than when playing Jezzie (Jezabel) in Jacob's Ladder but still hot.

A cracking film. One you have to pay a bit of attention to but it can really grab you.

Kris Kirstofferson is in it but he doesn't sing. In fact he takes a great part.

Thank you for the 'heads up' Derek - I've read the (favourable) reviews and Lone Star looks good.

Watched Lone Star last night. Just as god as I remembered it. Kristoffenson didn't sing, which is always a bonus.

I love the pace of the film. Nice and slow with some really nasty bits that happen suddenly, all the worse because such things occurred.

Not faultless but close enough.

Anyone else entranced by it?

We taped it and I am looking forward to watching it over the weekend.

PS I enjoyed Crazy Heart (Film4)
