Su 3/31/19

Up 645am; sunny and cold; temps barely to 40.

Watched 'HEAT' (Netflix- streaming ends tomorrow)  Three hours of Heist-Cop Thriller perfection; dir. Michael Mann/ Robert De Niro/ Al Pacino/ Val Kilmer/ John Sizemore/ Ashley Judd/ and Kevin Gage as 'Waingro'/ even small parts for Henry Rollins and Danny Trejo.

Then 'THE ADDICTION' (Xfinity) Christopher Walken/ Lili Taylor.    Abel Ferrara directs a film which offers a weird blend of blood addiction, classical philosophy, and vampirism as existential angst. Lili Taylor plays a NYC graduate philosophy student who is bitten by a vampire. She employs her philosophy training and knowledge to justify the horrifying changes to her new life as a member of the 'undead'. Christopher Walken appears as the baddest and most refined vampire of them all, and blows the doors off the film. This short (82"), black and white film is a slightly less than serious, yet intensely macabre examination of the essential evil of mankind.

210pm: The Weekly Cleaning, 245pm. to LA Fitness.

45" Walk (ALIAS GRACE). 45" Recumbent Bike (Began 'THE SNOWMAN'/ Ghost Bath- Hoopla). 45" Cross (ALIAS GRACE). 30" Walk (SELLING SUNSET). 30" Cross (OFF CAMERA- Carey Mulligan).

Home to soak with THE ART OF NOISE and finished 'THIS SIDE OF PARADISE'.

'NEVER LET GO' (Amazon Prime) A frenetic 'child abduction' film with the unlikely premise that a woman with an infant would go to economically challenged Morocco for a relaxing vacation. She selects the poorest section of town to stay, and soon her baby is abducted. White Woman with Infant : Poor, Muslim section of  a  North African City....What could go wrong? Corny and 'chop-socky', but incorporates some of the more interesting  elements of  'RUN LOLA RUN' had that film been set in Morocco.
