BEFORE THE DEVEL KNOWS YOUR DEAD

Feckless(FP): So Oddvark, what did you think about that movie we saw last night?

Oddvark (OC): Man, I thought we were disfunctional. That family in the movie made us look like boy scouts.

FP: Yeah in Before the Devil Knows Your Dead, the audience gets to see what happens to one family when members of that family abandon a purpose driven life and lose their souls to the material world that surrounds them.

OC: Lose their souls is right. All for the love of money. I'd rather be poor and decent than be rich and monstrous.

FP: You're right! Oddvark you're a success. Who'd of thunk it.

OC: A success, nobody has every called me that before. Take it back.

FP: Oddvark, I was complementing you. Now I'll pass out a few more complements. Philip Seymor Hoffman was excellent, as usual, in Devil...Dead. His ability to portray wide ranges of emotion is impressive. There are also some great naughty pictures of Marisa Tomei. She still looks good. Yum,yum! Ethan Hawke and Albert Finney deliver fine supporting performances. Sydney Lumet directs this fascinating crime drama about a jewelry store heist that goes wrong. The twist is that the store is owned by the robbers parents. Marisa Tomei's character brings to mind a line from Hank Williams' Lovesick Blues, "she'll do me, she'll do you, she's got that kind of lovin". I for one was glad to see her in action.

OC: You got a crush on Marisa Tomei.

FP: You got a crush on oatmeal stout.

OC: The finest substance made by the hand of man. As long as I have my oatmeal stout, I'll be a happy man.
