stop breathing

I sure like The Others. Watching it for a third time (once in the theater, twice on DVD this week), I'm still noticing new details and resonances. But the main thing is Nicole Kidman's performance. The dark rooms and creaking doors and spooky music (by the director!) are all satisfyingly creepy, but really the whole movie is written on Kidman's face, the varying mixture of madness and fear as she tries to keep everything under control. Maybe I'll watch Moulin Rouge! next.

Based on this post, Erik, I went out and bought it. Found it used (2 DVD set) for $9! I love Half Price Books -- I also got this ENORMOUS Windsor McKay collection and a bunch of other stuff, but perhaps I should save that for my own blog.

Yikes. I hope you enjoy it. At least you got a great price. I've only read a little Windsor McKay.
