The Current Cinema

The New Yorker reviews two of the latest films in this week's issue: "The Kingdom" and "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford". While reading I felt that Lane's description of "The Kingdom" was very confusing. I could not figure out the basic plot of the movie as he jumped from writing about the F.B.I. to the female agent and her breats. "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford", on the other hand, seems very intriguing as Lane writes about the director's way of capturing a scene and the interesting content. His review made me want to see that movie.
