LOCAL HEROFinally had time for a "Rip That Wrap" night; we opened up Local Hero and Gayle made fajitas with produce from the farm (I love squash). Burt Lancaster and Peter Riegert are wonderful, the scenery is amazing and the movie is a strange walk along a shore you don't want to leave. Little is said and even less is explained. I love the marine biologist subplot and it's hint of magic, as well as Ben of the Beach and his hint of eternity. The movie always leaves me a little sad, but only until I can walk along again in a place where magic and stardust mix with ocean mist. Ah, the purple prose. Good movie, great scenery, great performances, you'll benefit from having seen it and who doesn't need a touch of whimsy. Posted on 09/01/08 by: lonelypond 1 Comments

How awesome is Peter Riegerts career. He did Local Hero, Crossing Delancey, then he is the cop in The Mask with Jim Carrey before finally landing a roll getting slapped around by Tony Soprano. Hey dude, how's your character actor career going? Answer: Pretty sweet.
