What's in your queue?

I've been a little spastic lately with my DVD viewing.  I went with "The Age of Innocence" this week because I was feeling Socorsese nostalgia.  It's not one of his best, but it's still a fine film.  I've got "Convicts" with Robert Duvall and written by Horton Foote who wrote the screenplay for "To Kill a Mockingbird."  I've also got an old Mary Steenburgen film "Cross Creek" in my queue along with Hitchcock's Orson Welles (yes, I was drinking when I wrote that and Carol Reed directed it)"The Third Man."

I'm eagerly anticipating another go round with "Half Nelson," which is out in 2 weeks and to see "Flags of Our Fathers," which I missed for a slew of petty reasons (I was a big fan of "Iwo Jima" in spite of my Eastwood issues). 

 

Comments

I am also looking forward to Half Nelson getting off "saved" on my queue and I just returned Three Times and was very pleased. I really really liked it although it is quite artsy. Lots of quiet time.

Next, I have This Film is Not Yet Rated which I have been looking forward to since I saw a trailer for it forever ago. I hope it will be as interesting as it looks.
