We finally got around to watching "Only Lovers Left Alive", the vampire chronicles ala Jim Jarmusch. Why TF did we wait so long!!! Immediately makes the "Twilight" films look like the 20-something targeted drivel they are.

The house full of retro-recording and audio gear was just too much.

The whole soundtrack is pretty remarkable, but when the first scene opened with this remake of the old Wanda Jackson rockabilly song...I was a goner:

And...after seeing "Snowpiercer" who thought I'd ever consider Tilda Swinton to be a goddess, but there it is. The blonde says I had this dopey grin on my face the whole time.

Witness for the Prosecution

Charles Laughton
Tyrone Power
Marlene Dietrich

In black and white; a huge favorite of mine.

Excellent performance from Laughton.

An adaption from one of Agatha Christie's short stories.

I'm a particular fan of Jim Jarmush. He may be America's best current filmmaker. Also, soundtracks are one of his greatest strengths. Neil Young's "Dead Man" and The RZA's "Ghost Dog" are good examples.

There is something about Tilda Swinton that I find incredibly sexy.

If I had the chance I'd jump her bones in a heartbeat. Even if she was in her Snowpiercer getup.

"Only Lovers Left Alive" is on iTunes, Amazon and Vudu but you have to buy it.

"Snowpiercer's" on Netflix.

Speaking of Bowie he and Angela met when they were dating the same guy or so the story goes.

That's why I've only seen Snowpiercers.

I'm a cheap S.O.B.
