It's Friday and I'm late...

... posting this.
Here is the weekend movie selection. I'll probably post something else later in the day as well.
This is the 1990 movie ... not to be mistaken with the 2000 movie which is also quite the delight.
Where the Heart is was written and directed by
John Boorman... that's the truly quirky factor right there.
The movie begins with the demolition of a building and progresses to get more surreal as it moves along. The basic premise is about a real-estate mogul who sets up his kids to fend for themselves. The cast includes early performances by Uma Thruman and Crispin Glover. What's really surreal and funny is Christopher Plummer playing a bum named "Shitty".
It does have a "Midsummer's Night Dream" quality to it and the scenes of body painting are quite spectacular.
Forgive the quickie post here but I promise more later.
EDIT: 11:32 PMSorry for not giving more. I've spent all this time trying to set up a new machine only to find that there is a major hardware issue. As a result I'll have to send it back over the next few days. :( I'll try to create a new post tomorrow. Right now all I want to do is hit the sack.
