Louis, I'm happy with the change of direction, I'd rather this than go 2 weeks without a review for the 2nd straight year. I'm glad you're reviewing a lead performance from the gone too soon Cregar.

Saw some clips of Knox, including his final scene, he was truly chilling in his final scene.

I watched The Conversation for the first time. Absolutely brilliant film. Maybe my favorite of Coppola's work, though The Godfather is hard to top. Certainly has the best performance in any of his films, though.

Hackman - 5

Everyone else is good, but c'mon, this was Hackman's show.

Louis: Looking over your two reviews for Fitzgerald's work in Going My Way, would you say your philosophy regarding rating leading and supporting performances differently has changed (even slightly) in these past few years.
