Barkin, coming to on an airfield, dress around her ears and blood all over the place, utters the first of many crass expositions: 'This isn't my blood, so it must be somebody else's!'

I've heard and read a lot of (...) about this film, but here's my two cents worth-- second only to Citizen Kane as the best American film ever made. With a cast that includes Ellen Barkin, Gabriel Byrne and Jodie Foster, with walk-ons by Martin Sheen, ...

I saw it in the theater when it was relased! I had to smoke a cigarette afterwards! I went right out and got a copy of the soundtrack on vinyl. I currently own the video and have been anxiously awaiting the DVD - I need to see it in ...

I think the twists and turns of this movie are great. It starts off maybe a bit slower on first viewing, but when you have to watch it the second time you won't think that. It's both beautiful and thoughtful. And some great stars who don't seem to ...
