81 - Red Road

Jackie's obsession fueled her courage to not only stalk an ex-con, but drive her to the edge. In the end, closure still found its way.....and like Terrence Stamp's Wilson character (in The Limey), the final face-off, having subdued your enemy, and accomplishing all that had taken so much out of you.......you let go......and find your peace.

80 - Junebug

Sometimes people fall into relationships for very specific reasons....those that can blind pretty much everything else. Amy Adams' and Embeth Davidz' characters live totally different lives, but have the same state or relationship......one that does not stand on completely knowing each other, but sharing one specific event (or moments) that seem to keep the status quo. The insight into a southern family was very interesting.

79 - The Parallax View

This story could have been a prequel to The Manchurian Candidate. It examines the process behind recruiting, conditioning, and execution of potential "candidates" (or drones, if I were to make an analogy). Warren Beatty plays the role of an investigative reporter who, in his efforts to infiltrate the program, is sucked into it.

This is has been a back-to-back run on 60's/70's movies for me (having just seen Antonioni's Blow-Up). I found it quite entertaining just noticing how much has changed over time.

78 - Blow Up

Ok, I confess...I picked this out just so I can watch old photographic equipment in action again :) But there was a fun surprise....the swinging 60's!
