snow birds - My brother and me. 1950ish. from my flickr files

* * * *  "Suddenly: the word most used by Dostoevsky. Somebody told me that. Some Dostoevsky expert. Suddenly. As though any kind of action could be drawn into words: Suddenly music. Suddenly turning. Suddenly silent. Suddenly. As though I never saw the process. Everyone in the old house is sick but me. Silence, except for the snoring, coughing, and occasional trips to the bathroom. Snow everywhere through the windows. You can't look out without seeing it. Suddenly winter. Frozen rivers. Bitter cold. Barren trees. Small silver plane etched out against a chalk, still sky. Suddenly, completely alone."

- Sam Shepard Day Out of Days

These stills are from the movie “Cold In July” with Michael C. Hall, Don Johnson and the late great Sam Shepard.

It´s a 80´s style thriller which was directed by Jim Mickle (”Sweet Tooth”, “Hap and Leonard”, “We are what we are” and “In the shadow of the moon” (also a project with Michael).

It got a lot of praise and many people were reminded of a John Carpenter movie which is a huge compliment and also true.

Frances - Hollywood Eats Its Own

Hollywood biopic about a forgotten troubled actress who spent some time either a) totally out of her mind or b) unfairly persecuted by hollywood insiders, and the movie doesn't really give a definitive answer, to its credit. Jessica Lange puts some massive acting chops on display in this one, and it is a fascinating story, but for some reason, it wasn't anything I was interested in revisiting again after the initial viewing (rented on video, mostly due to the oscar nomination).

3 stars out of 5

Released 1982, First Viewing January 1984
