I rented CSL from Family Video a week and two days ago, and watched it about 3 days ago. It was great. It was a relief to know that some people still know how to write well-paced, focused and entertaining screenplays and that they can be filmed in a competent manner w/o the assistance of Martin Scorsese or Steven Speilberg...I wouldn't say it was the greatest film I've seen, but it's still really good. I liked it a lot.
I bought it at Hastings' website (gohastings) and saved almost $3 off the already low price. I guess it's considered "an old movie" by Hollywood execs, or, idk, but for some reason it's in the budget DVD section at Hastings ($5.99) and by buying on their website I only paid $3.25 + tax, and no S&H due to the sweetness of in-store pickup (yay!!!).
My mom had watched in on cable a few+ months ago and I was in the room for part of it. The little I did see of it stuck w/ me tho.
Anyway...another cool thing, I saw the film in ONE sitting. I didn't even get interrupted by a bathroom urge. I just watched it. For me, this is a pretty big achievement. Me? No, the real achievement in in the film's success. It's a tasteful, stylish, spirited, engrossing film. I liked it a lot. I wouldn't say "I love(d) it". Love is a strong word, although people act like it isn't...I did very much like it tho. I'm glad I finally got around to seeing it.
You have heard that it was said, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous
