Big Night in the Bedroom
Oops. I meant that to read Big Night, In the Bedroom, in reference to the double feature I watched last night. Strange how punctuation and capitalization can affect the meaning of things, such as this classic from The Simpsons:
Works on contingency. No fee required.
becomes
Works on contingency? No, fee required.
Anyway, both films were fine, but neither of them particularly memorable or affecting. Just good gear-turning of the filmmaking machine. While In the Bedroom got all the press last year, I just felt it was a low-budget version of old Hollywood territory. And Big Night felt like a Taxi or Cheers episode stretched out over 2 hours, which is not an entirely bad thing, given how much I like the repetoire-group coziness of those two shows.
