Pit Stop
I had an opening this evening and decided to scoot down to Roy Thomson Hall to see Rod Lurie's Nothing But The Truth again. It's still tight and true, still perfectly acted, still believable at every turn -- easily among the best three or four films I've seen at TIFF so far. Sorry if this challenges the c.w., but it happens to be true. Washington Post writer Ann Hornaday told me last night that she's also a fan.
Acute W Lounge hell...sheer torture listening to music from one of worst D.J.'s in the world.
But the after-party, held at the W Lounge on Davenport Street, was nothing but the pits. The music was that special kind of vomitous, head-splitting disco sometimes played at super-loud volume outside the homes of deposed Latin American dictators in order to persuade them to come out and surrender. The amazing and unstoppable Joe Leydon was there. I was in and out within ten minutes. Baah, humbug.

This is definitely Rod's best picture. I had the good fortune of seeing it a few months ago at a private screening and I was blown away. In fact, I'd say it's not only Rod's best film but one of the best film's of the year. Every note in it rings true and Beckinsale should easily get an Oscar nomination for her best performance ever. In fact, the entire cast is extremely impressive. Matt Dillon also deserves a nod as a conservative but devoted FBI agent. Kudos to Rod. A job very well done.

From everything I've read this seems to be Alan Alda's Oscar picture. Unless the part is too small.

You/re a good friend, Mr. Wells.
I wish I had a friend like you.
But I don/t.
I have one friend and he would never do for me what you do for Rod Lurie.
All my friend does is talk to me about who just gave him a blowjob and who he wants to give him a blowjob.
My friend lets me buy him lunch and a movie and he says he/ll pay me back as soon as he gets some more money for a script he is writing, a script he wrote in 1995 that he is polishing up for some guy who might be able to help him.
I hope Rod Lurie appreciates what you do for him, because I spend a lot of time on film sites and I never read anything nice about him.
I think Rod Lurie should send you a box of Havanas, even though you don/t strike me as a stogie connoisseur.
Or maybe he should take you to dinner, somewhere nice, like Jar.
God bless you, Mr. Wells.
God bless hollywoodelsewhere, for I can think of no finer place to be.

Damn, Jeff, that turned out to be one wild party. And the after-party was even wilder. Good thing I brought some Cialis in my backpack. Well, guess I better sleep for an hour or so before my first screening.

Wow, if Beckinsale is better in this than she was in Snow Angels than I'll eat my shoe Werner Herzog style.
Very much looking forward to checking this out. Is it coming out this year?
And yeah, I thought about The Contender not too long ago, and how life sometimes imitates art.
