A Prairie Home Companion (2006)
After 32 years, Garrison Keillor's radio variety show is coming to an end. Set on a rainy Saturday night in St. Paul, Minnesota, fans file into the Fitzgerald Theater to see "A Prairie Home Companion," a staple of radio station WLT, not knowing that WLT has been sold to a Texas conglomerate and that tonight's show will be the last. Backstage cast and crew assemble for one last hurrah. Anyone will enjoy this Garrison Keillor and Robert Altman's sweet, gently funny tale about an old-fashioned radio show taking its last bow.

A super intense flick. Robert Dinero, Val Kilmer, & Jon Voight tear the shit out of downtown LA in one of the best movie gun fights ever.

Tom Cruise is at his best when he's despicable. And well, Meryl Streep is always at her best. This is a good political drama about complacency, complicity, power and sacrifice.

After Mitchum makes clear his plans to harm Peck's family, a fascinating game of crisscrossing ethics and morality takes place. This movie is a must-see!!!

This is one of my favorite movie because of its subject, my love for New Orleans and its cast. It is an intriguing, unusual, beautifully directed, highly atmospheric film that successfully crosses any number of genre: film noir, thriller, mystery, and horror. The plot is simple. In the mid nineteen fifties, a mysterious and slightly sinister business man, Louis Cypher (Robert De Niro), hires Brooklyn gumshoe, Harry Angel (Mickey Rourke), for a missing person case. Angel's investigation, for which he is being paid a princely sum for the time, takes him from Harlem to New Orleans, as he looks for a former crooner named Johnny Favorite, who sometime during the early nineteen forties apparently welched on a business deal with Louis Cypher and hasn't been heard from since. What happens when Angel gets to New Orleans will be infused with voodoo rites, ritual murders and taboo sex. All my favorites.... in a movie that is!!
