Planning to rent "Angela's Ashes".Saw "Man on the Moon" in the theater. Agree that Forman and Carrey did a good job eventhough I think it missed catching the feeling of what Kaufman's heyday was really like. I laugh just thinking about how furious people were at Kaufman over the wrestling and how mystified they were at just about everything else he did back then. I made it a point never to miss his appearances on Letterman and SNL.
Caught "The Hurricane" in the theater, too. Hedaya almost ruined the movie for me even in his smallish role. He's a great sitcom bad guy, but that role needed something better than a caricature. Washington was superb. He plays Carter as stern even grim at times as he probably was back then, and I was really surprised at seeing the real Carter on television recently. Carter has come through his experience amazingly well and is about as jovial a person as I've ever seen.
