I kept thinking of a Sherlock Holmes play that I saw on HBO when I was, like twelve, in the early days of HBO when it was such a novelty in our house. Langella is sort of cemented in my head as Sherlock Holmes.<BR/><BR/>It took me a while to figure out why Lauren Ambrose looked so familiar. I'd sampled a few episodes of <I>Six Feet Under</I>, but it took me half the movie to make the connection.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648426783032403612.post-25589310350216799712007-08-27T05:30:00.000-07:002007-08-27T05:30:00.000-07:00Michael, I actually haven't watched most of the tr...Michael, I actually haven't watched most of the trailers I linked to. Many are to films I know I definitely want to see, and I prefer to go into the screening cold. But the trailers really come in handy with films I'm unsure about.<BR/><BR/>Rob, I think it was <A HREF="http://www.indiewire.com/movies/2007/01/park_city_07_re_24.html" REL="nofollow">Anthony Kaufman's</A> review of <EM>Starting Out in the Evening</EM> that caught my attention. I doubt I'll see it, but I kept it on my list in case it happened to be showing during a dead spot in my schedule. I feel a bit odd saying this, but I'm a big fan of Frank Langella, and his performance is drawing raves. Plus, I'm curious to see Lauren Ambrose in a different role.Darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11456377117711062375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648426783032403612.post-45110234200612267992007-08-26T21:49:00.000-07:002007-08-26T21:49:00.000-07:00I saw Starting Out in the Evening earlier this yea...I saw <I>Starting Out in the Evening</I> earlier this year. It's a bit preposterous, but the performances are very nice. I like Lily Taylor in anything, although she does not have a very large role.<BR/><BR/>Note that advance screenings times/dates from publicists are subject to change.

I'm pleased that they reference <I>Twitch</I> so respectfully.<BR/><BR/>Received an email from Stephen Lan's film slate for TIFF and some of the talent he's representing. A few of those films appear on your list and I thought you might be interested in furthering your interests on <A HREF="http://www.stephenlan.com/toronto_2007.html" REL="nofollow">his slate</A>.
