fine whine

Last night Jessica and I watched Heaven, directed by Tom Tykwer, written by Krzysztof Kieslowski, produced by one of the Weinbergs and Anthony Minghella, starring Cate Blanchett and Giovanni Ribisi. I was impressed, and Jessica fell asleep. I'd normally be watching, rather listening, to the commentary track right now except that I checked out Red dwarf series one from the library and I'm catching up on that instead. It's funny, but Heaven had some amazing moments. I was really impressed by Cate Blanchett's acting, and struck also by how much Giovanni Ribisi's growing up. He looks, well, grown up, but not in a Fred Savage sort of way.

And speaking of growing up, I've got a new toy.

So yeah, the film was good. The aerial shots were amazing, and only afterward did I understand (or at least theorize) that they had something to do with the heavens and whatnot.

And in the DVD features there were some badly done trailers for Krzysztof Kieslowski's three colors trilogy, and I must admit they look tempting.
