[lbo-talk] Sayles latest

[joanna bujes]

Perhaps Rosenbaum is right; I don't know; I haven't seen Silver City 
yet. But, I plan to see it, as I've seen every movie John Sayles has 
made.  (Some people feel this way about the Coen brothers; for me it's 
Sayles). I haven't liked them all, but I certainly remember them all.

Sayles does not make typical, emotional rollecoaster Hollywood movies; 
by that standard, the pace is too slow, and the characters pointedly 
unglamorous. But the acting is always fine, and I learn something from 
each one. My faves so far have been "Brother from Another Planet" and 
"Lone Star."
