Citizen Kane

 So I finally got to see this movie. And Ray Collins just shows up in so many movies and tv shows that I used to watch! He's like a character actor! It's interesting that Charlie got his money early, was taken away from his mom and pop, and then given the world. And he was kinda bitter about it. He was a newspaper man. And this movie showed me that back then, newspapers would make a man rich. And it did. And he married, what, twice? Had one son?  His life, and his legacy, and all the new newspapers wanted to know at his death was about Rosebud. *shakes head* Well if that don't beat all...

The Thomas Crown Affair

 I'm now listening to the ending credit music. It sounds like Sting singing. My husband said the song is from a segment of "The Muppet Show", and he's not wrong. But the movie, over all, was not what I expected. It's a mystery. And it's really "How did he do it?" and for me, with lots of  money, you can do anything. The world really is his playground. And this detective is caught up in it with him. But he might fall for her, for real. And her woman jealousy will ruin everything. I love seeing Pierce Brosnan in different roles. He's a very good looking man and does comedy as well as drama and mystery very well. But over all, he's truly a leading man. I'm glad I got to see it.
