  • Sleeping with Scissors

    After an hour of this snoozefest, we voted to boot it from the DVD player. Amazing how a movie filled with so many quirky characters could be so incredibly dull. The directing seemed sloppy and had no life despite the admirable job by most of the actors. I've heard the book is pretty interesting, perhaps I would check it out if I had any interest in how this story ended.

    Revisited this one last night. Still very effective and interesting to revisit the topic many years after the 'three mile island' scare, and the much more serious 'chernobyl' meltdown and to think that the problems haven't really gone away, but merely been put on our 'just don't think about it and it will disappear' mental shelf. Still no good way to store nuclear waste, and when terrorists finally figure out they can do much more damage by flying a plane into one of these installations instead of symbolic buildings then we will be truly screwed.

    Jack Lemmon gives a truly great performance as a humble working man caught in a web of deceit and power, and unable to get his message out simply because he is not 'tv friendly' or photogenic and cant talk in soundbites.

    A bit dated in places (gotta love a movie that features a chevy vega) but still a cut above the typical conspiracy scare film.
