Watching lots of movies on the small screen these days. The Lives of Others blew me away, about a Stasi agent & the artists he eavesdrops on. "That's the best acting I have ever seen", I said out loud when the credits rolled. Tell No One was cool: a French "Fugitive" with some extra plot layers. Angel-A was quirky & fun: a leggy angel, in high heels and mini-skirt, dogs a lost soul, well played by Jamel Debbouze, to teach him to open his heart to life. Directed by Luc Besson who did the original La Femme Nikita. The Love Letter, oops, a book not a movie ("When I was your age television was called books!" -- name that movie...) Wonderful drawing of the character of a middle aged control-freak flirt who owns a books store and receives a love letter that might not have been intended for her. Written by Cathleen Schine, whose Rameau's Niece I enjoyed years ago. Finishing up The Other Side of You, Salley Vickers, a psychiatrist learns about being true to self & life from a suicide patient. Interesting references to Caravaggio. I much prefer Vickers' Instances of the Number Three, which is on my top ten: well written, surprising plot, great characters.
