  at least there used to be one there. I read or heard that they have merged or were bought by one of the chains...West Coast Video I think.

  The staff had a comprehensive knowledge of film--I was never able to stump them--they literaly had every single film worth watching--or could get it tomorrow, and their eclectic recomendations always pleased me. That's one of the things a big city offers that you can't get anywhere else.

  ***Since you recommendeded a couple of Greenaway movies, I was hunting for them and could not come up with anything. I have never seen nor heard of Prospero's Book but dont mind even buying it.

  I hate to admit, but I never finished watching it. It is tooo thick for me. It is incredibly beautiful, though. You must be in the right mood for it - it is the ultimate indulgence in visual beauty that I know of, and he is perhaps the greatest master of that. I can't forget the walk through the kitchen in the Cook.

  A more "gentle" of his movies is probably Drowning by Numbers. I didn't care much for the Pillow Book, though.

  
  ***I have seen Cook, the thief and am thinking of buying it - if nothing else, it would kill some of my conservative friends.

  Well, it didn't kill me... so there is hope. Emphasis on "frinds" I hope?

  
  ***could not find either at amazon. know any sources around Philadelphia? hey,I still dont even know where TLA is. You told me that there were many branches but is it an acronymn that I am supposed to know. If it is, sorry, I dont.

  I am sorry - I should have been more clear perhaps. Again, as far as I know, they have four brances and the only one we go to is on the 4th street one block north of South - closest to 95. If you call the directory for other addresses, they may be listed under Theater of Living Art. That is how they used to be called years back when they had a movie theater on the South St - now there is some sort of rinky-dink theater there. Too bad, because that used to be THE premier place to go for movies in Phily, better than the Ritz. Tremendous programming, even if the interior was falling apart. There was no movie that they would not show back then. Strange things like Taxi Zum Clo.

  
  ***Appreciate your advice. Per Mart, I seem to have missed some special scenes in Ronin which I saw as oer your recommendation and enjoyed very much. So, if I have time, I am going to look for those special scenes tonight.

  What scenes are you referring to? The super-sexy smile one?

  Ronin is one of te best movies of that genre, even if the stuff towards the end loses its steam a bit (the Wit stuff... boring...), but then it regains it in the last scene, thank God. Shows you that good creation is possible in just about any genre, if you have the right stuff and your name doesn't start with an S or L.

  Good luck.
