WISE ASS

Today's NYTimes Best Film was

Nobody's Fool (1994)

with Paul Newman and just about the best supporting cast you could have. Everyone shines.

This is a wonderfully simple story about a ne'er do well townie in a small (very snowy) town in upper NY state.

Things happen slowly and we get to watch people.

It is really an extra-ordinary film and worth watching several times.

I especially enjoyed Pruitt Taylor Vince, Melanie Griffith, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Bruce Willis in an un-credited (main) role, and a whole bunch of people who you have seen over and over and wouldn't remember the name but, ohhhhhhhhhh, the face and the acting.

It is Jessica Tandy's last film.

Gotta see it. Laugh and cry and in between.

A 5 out of Netflix5!
