I really enjoyed One False Move. I'm a big BBT fan.

Yeah, as I said a few posts ago, I always misremember that line as the final line, whereas it wasn't-- simply a famous line.

Knox Goes Away - Michael Keaton

This is an exciting sounding thriller directed by, and starring, Michael Keaton. Also Al Pacino has a small part.
It's releasing in U.S. theaters today.
