Watched it last night having just read the book. I found it followed the book very well, but I failed to see why Sean Penn earned an Oscar for his performance. All the acting was good, but I found Sean Penn a little cheesy at points and unable to correctly convey the persona of Jimmy in others. I felt like Penn portrayed Jimmy as more of a villain, where as in the book, his actions are explained and somewhat justified. Also, they don't delve much into Jimmy's past, where a lot of his character development comes from. Overall it was a good film, I would recommend reading the book to compare.

Just saw William Friedkin's Bug last night. I really think its his best after French Connection and The Exorcist (although I havent seen Sorcerer which I hear is great). It was based on a play and from what I read it follows it pretty faithfully, and you can really tell that it was a play because of a the dialogue (which is great) and the sole location. I dont see why this movie was so panned when it was released, I thought it was very effective

Yeah, the book doesn't have that annoying kid screaming throughout. The movie was ok, coulda done with having a different director and main star.

Intervista (1987) by Federico Fellini.
^Begins with a crew form a Japanese television, coming to interview Fellini, continues with a movie inside a movie inside a TV show. All, with the usual absurdities. Ginger e Fred (1986)by Federico Fellini. Plot: Amelia (Giulietta Masina) and Pippo (Marcello Mastroianni) are reunited after several decades to perform their old music-hall act (imitating Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers) on a TV variety show.-IMDB Extremely hilarious. This whole melodramatic story happening between Fellini's wife and his alter-ego, I found that breathtaking, while attacking mercilessly the stupidity of television. Another great movie. I'll be watching La Strada next, and for the second time, as I missed young Giulietta Masina, that woman is a joy.

I liked it. I liked it a good bit. It was funny. Some parts dragged but that was alright.
