She's old then...
Where do you get your information? I sometimes look up things on allmovie.com, but it's a coin toss. Luckily I have good, but selective memory.
Saragosa might be too late for you - a perfect film for a romantic 15 y.o. boy.
Saw Cider House Rules yesterday also. What's the big deal, I don't know. Simplistic to the bone - they threw everything in there. Moral is - if you are good, you are good, it's better to be good than bad, etc.
If you haven't seen it - save your roubles and time.
Also saw the Ghost Dog:The Way of the Samurai. Holy s***t - it was horrible. Jarmusch really screwed up on that one. Obviously he can't make a film that deals with even minimal amounts of conventional reality. Forest Whitaker as a samurai, and I gave it a fighting chance too.
A couple of minutes of, I believe, Andrew Cyrille & Jimmy Lyons' Free Jazz compostion is the only thing I really enjoyed a lot. Couldn't make out the credits on my 19" screen. Does anyone know if it was Lyons, or am I wrong?? I'm sure that cut didn't make it into the soundtrack.
