Before The Devil Knows Your Dead
Before The Devil Knows Your Dead is an incredible film by an incredible director, Sydney Lumet. Of course making an outstanding picture is easy when you have all the components in place. Kelly Masterson wrote the amazing book about a pair of brothers on the edge of oblivion, and the leap that takes them both into the abyss. Philip Seymour Hoffman and Ethan Hawke are the fate crossed siblings and Albert Finney plays their father. Hoffman is so mesmorizing in this movie that it's extremely hard to take your eyes off him. Ethan Hawke, however, gives an incredible tour de force performance as Hoffman's younger brother. Melissa Tomei is surprisingly good as Hoffman's wife in this unique drama. I don't believe in giving away too much. So I'll conclude that this is a must see movie.

Dear Miles,
This film is on my must see list along with" Atonement." I had bought a season pass to Stony Brook's Spring Semester Films. I will be seeing "Atonement" along with "The Kite Runner" on 4/4/8. I will be viewing "BTDKYD" along with "I'm Not There" (the six actor Dylan Biopic) on 3/14/08 (Beware the day before The Ides Of March). As soon as i see BTDKYD I will be able to comment more intelligently, hopefully.
BTW -Lunar Eclipse 2/20 8:30 PM or so EST.
